Family is too invested in my life and what I'm doing?

[Anonymous]

They don't serve anything I'm doing financially now, not even offering support about me moving and always have something negative to say. I've been here with family a few months and been paying rent since we've been here, but now that know we're leaving they're still expecting money and I told them I'm not paying anything else and were moving. Now their upset because we're leaving... I've kicked out a grand since we've been here 5 months

I moved back home because I'm purchasing a home for real estate rules in the area where my family is.. 6 months to be in the area before buying real estate rules I didn't want to quick out a lot of money for hotel / motel... and saved some money by coming back home

Ah man, that sucks they're being so controlling about you leaving! Family can be way too much sometimes.

It sounds like you've totally held up your end by paying rent while there. Plus you had a good reason to stay for the real estate thing. So them getting mad that you're moving out doesn't seem fair at all.

It's good you're setting boundaries and not giving them anymore money. That's your money, not theirs! And you don't owe them any explanations about what you do with it.

Moving out is the right move to get your independence back. Don't let them guilt trip you - you did nothing wrong! Sometimes you gotta do what's best for you, even if family doesn't like it.

As long as you have your new place set up, I say just try to ignore any drama they start. You got your own life to live! Don't let them stress you out - you got this!

You should have well and truly moved on from your family by now.

I just said that I moved temporarily back home because I had to be in the area when purchasing my home. Housing rules you have to be in the area for 3- 6 months before buying
