AITA For asking for the full $50 my parents promised me After lending them so much money?

For context, before my parents received their income taxes, my family was struggling.

This was also the time when I started a new job. They kept asking me for money.

I gave it to them without complaint or questioning for months.

They always said they would pay me back. They still have not.

I was okay with that.

This woman asked for the $50 that her parents borrowed from her.

They have now received their income taxes. They are doing way better now.

I asked for the $50 they promised me if I did a couple of favors.

But they only gave me $30. I asked them about it.

I was fine ignoring the rest of the money if they just talked to me civilly.

Her parents started insulting her.

But they started going off on me.

They told me I was ungrateful and kept insulting me.

After letting them go off on me for asking about the rest of the money, I got angry.

I started to curse them out. I will admit that I should have kept my cool.

She got angry, and now, she’s wondering if she was wrong to react that way.

For some reason I got really angry about this. I felt like I was wronged in a way.

Especially because the $50 I was requesting does not even begin to measure up to the amount I gave them.

They promised to pay that money back.

So I just wanted someone else’s opinion on this situation.
