My parents gave birth to me to provide for their old age😳
Imagine this: I’m 21, just finished college, still living at home in London because rent is a joke, and my parents act like I’m their golden ticket. Since I was a kid, they’d say, “When you get a great job, you’ll help us out, right?” Like, was I born to be their backup plan? They’ve always been terrible with money—loans, no savings, blowing cash on cigarettes and scratch cards. Now, every time I try to save, they throw it in my face and call me selfish for not handing over my hard-earned cash. I love them, but I’m not an ATM! After another guilt-trip argument, I’m left feeling angry, confused, and honestly, a little used. Am I wrong for wanting to build my own future instead of cleaning up their mess? Has anyone else dealt with this? How do you set boundaries without tearing your family apart? 😩💸
