NOTE: Those are comments on an almost certainly made-up story about a man refusing to pay for his grandchildren’s college education because his daughter refused to be walked down the aisle by him at her wedding, insulted him, and called herself an “independent woman”

OP's sister wanted to be independent, THAT INCLUDES FINANCIAL MATTERS TOO, RIGHT? OP's sister shouldn't be a hypocritical person and excluding financial independence from her wish of being independent. If you wanted to be independent, be 100% independent, even with the money.

NTA, but are you and your brother going stay be quiet about your father being an asshole? He’s punishing his grandchildren over something so petty. I imagine it’s not the only time he’s been incredibly petty, either.

But the dad is kind of an AH for treating his grandchildren so differently just because he didn't get to walk one daughter down the aisle at her wedding.

Kids sometimes suffer the consequences of their parents' decisions. Life isn't always fair.

But she's a strong independent woman and he is respecting that by letting her independently finance the kids education on her own.

the dad is acting super super petty but he kinda has a point. Does she want to perform wokeness or live it? I'd def give a y t a rating to the dad if she was not comfortably employed in a traditionally well paying job tho.

He has to be prepared for his grandkids to hate him, though. I would.

Disagree. I would place blame where blame is due- on the daughter/mom who insisted upon her independence.

She isn’t being emotionally abused. She is being shown what it means to be an independent grown-ass woman. Independent grown-ass women don’t need their daddies to buy them a house or put money into their kids college funds. If she wants to flex being an “independent woman” then she can be independent.
