I live with my partner renting. One day my parents wanted me to stay at their place because they need to go somewhere else. I risked an argument with my partner due to my parents asking almost twice our rent and even adding other stuff such as taking care of four dogs. We barely make ends meet but I made an exception because they were my parents. But afterwards my mom and I had an argument where she told me that I don't contribute to their finances. Do take note that the house was put on my name because they can't put it under my stepfather's name because she was married before and left his kids with his previous wife. Everytime I ask them to help me out with small thing like a portion of the electric bill they flip out. Saying that I'm an ingrate that I should provide for them. meanwhile my stepdad is just lazing around and taking up multiple loans that end up making they're situation worse. My mom provides for them my two siblings and my stepdad. I try to talk to her to get my stepdad to work but to no avail. She wants to take up double jobs to make ends meet meanwhile my stepdad just doomscrolls all day. One day I had enough and flipped out and told everything that was weighing on my chest. Now my parents treat me like I never helped them out even once. It hurts I avoid mingling with them because it hurts seeing my mom struggling while my stepdad does nothing. I am planning on moving out to save my mental health. Am I such a bad son for choosing my self first?
