My mom glorifies herself. When parents plan for children, it is the parents’ job to provide for the children. They shouldn’t see children as retirement plan.

My mom keeps guilt tripping me. I finally told her I can’t stand her and she will need to use her money to take care of herself in the future. (I have been paying for her bills.)

What kind of parents put such pressure on their kids? She thinks she has sacrificed a lot of me. She raised me for the first twenty years. I have repaid with interest already.

She needs to stop pressing my button.

    This is so backwards.

    Raising someone isn’t something you do with an expectation of being repaid. They didn’t choose to be born, or raised. The parent(s) chose this. And the love of the child is what should fuel the raising, and it should pay for itself.

    I’m sorry this is happening to you. ❤️
