It’s often hard to juggle your personal needs with your responsibilities. But what if one of the kids is saddled with them?

This young man made a big new decision about it. See why he’s wondering if he did the right thing.

Am I wrong for feeling relieved after finally moving out, even though it really upset my parents?

I grew up in a big family and was always the oldest son.

That came with a ton of responsibility.

I’m only 19, but my parents expected me to raise my two younger brothers: a four year old and a twelve year old.

They criticized me for everything, and over time I started to feel like I was living under constant pressure.

Life is better now, but there’s a problem.

Thanks to a recent food delivery job, I saved up a bit of money and found a small apartment. I moved out immediately and for the first time in a long while I felt free.

But my parents accused me of running away and abandoning the family. Now I’m unsure if I really did something wrong.

Here is what people are saying.

Right. They are trying to brainwash him.

I don’t think he’d be obligated even if they paid for this.

Shocking! (Rolls eyes.)

I’m proud of him! And any good parent would be.

I think he should go no contact with the parents.
