AITA for moving out of my parents house

A year ago, I (22) moved out of my parents’ house.

I did this to help my brother (19), cousin (24), and aunt (47) move states and get solid jobs.

Living with them was a nightmare.

I ended up spending thousands of dollars on them to keep the peace.

This woman no longer wanted to live with her aunt and cousin.

When our lease was coming to an end, I decided that living with my aunt and cousin was no longer something I could do.

So I figured I could boot them out of the house I was renting.

And move my parents into it so we could afford the rent.

I asked my parents if they wanted to move in with me, and my dad said no.

She moved back in with her parents.

Instead, they decided to buy a house 45 minutes away from the town I was living in.

He wanted move my brother and I into that house.

After living with them for a month, I decided that it would be better for me if I moved in with my boyfriend.

He lives in the town I was in originally, and I would be saving time, gas, and money.

She then moved out and didn’t help with the mortgage.

I wanted to discuss with my parents about still helping them with their mortgage.

But I could no longer keep paying the $600.

They iced me out immediately when I mentioned wanting to move out.

So I just moved out and haven’t been helping at all. Am I the jerk?
