Hi all. I am going through some serious matters with my immediate family and I just am at wits end.
My parents had to move 2 hours away recently due to my fathers work complications.
My sister is 17 and is finishing her last year at school for diploma. My parents asked me to take my sister on with me while she finished school and to help out.
I was living with my boyfriend and daughter in a 2 bedroom fourplex and it is too small for us let alone my sister too. She said she would pay me money per month and that as soon as she was graduated she would have to find her own place or move with them.
Fast forward 2 months. She moved in with us. Sharing a bedroom with my 5 year old daughter which is hardly appropriate. I haven't seen any money for her, living in this tiny house is driving us all crazy and it is causing a huge rift between me and my boyfriend.
My boyfriend found a house that would give us all the space we need and wants me to move in on march 1st. Only problem is my sister would have to pay 500 a month to live there too.
My parents have completely turned on me since I asked for this, but I feel like they have lumbered me with their child and responsibility. I want to be able to move on with my life and they are stopping me from moving forward because they wanted to move forward with theirs.
My boyfriend is furious with them, they are furious with me and my poor sister has no where to go.
Can anyone give me any advice? I don't know what to do.. I feel I am letting down my family for selfish needs, but I feel unfairly treated and stuck because my parents are controlling my life and I feel that my sister shouldn't be my responsibility.
Any input would be awesome. Thankyou
