Her parents then laced into her for how she chooses to live her life and set up her house.
She really did get upset with them and said nevermind, they are not welcome to live with her at all after what they had to say.
She has never had a good relationship with her mom and dad, and she was quite close to cutting them out of her life entirely.
Growing up, her parents made her weigh her food and herself, chastised her about expenses, and did other things to control every aspect of her life.
Despite all of the terrible things her parents have done to her, she was really willing to let them live with her until they freaked out over her pet room.
“Since then, I’ve been being bombarded by their messages saying that they’re in a hotel (spending what they shouldn’t) and next week they’ll go to a shelter because I uninvited them and preferred my pets over not leaving them homeless,” she said.
She does have other family members that could offer her mom and dad assistance, yet they haven’t, due to how her parents behave.
She thought it was best to just block her mom and dad in the end, though she’s still curious if it was wrong of her to not let them move in.

She Dropped Her Fiancé’s Friend At A Homeless Shelter After He Crashed On Her Couch For 5 Weeks And Made No Effort To Find A New Place
This twenty-seven-year-old woman got engaged to her fiancé earlier this year. But, the pair were forced to have a long-distance relationship because the man lived in another city and wanted to finish out the rest of his lease.
Then, one of the fiancé’s friends from his hometown fell on some hard times. So, the fiancé graciously offered to let his friend move in for the last six months of the lease while they split the apartment’s expenses.
This arrangement had been working out just fine for about six weeks until the woman’s fiancé had a health scare.
The incident ended up leaving him without the ability to drive for six months, which was an enormous problem since he lived in a highly car-dependent area.
The woman, on the other hand, lived in a city where a car was not required to get around. So, the pair decided it would be best for the fiancé to break his lease and move into the woman’s place.
Still, this meant that the fiancé’s friend was out of luck. They decided to give the friend three weeks to get his affairs in order in the city while also lending a hand to get him back on his feet.
“We recognized that it was a bad situation for the friend, so we offered to either help him find his own place in that city, let him sleep on my couch for a few weeks while he found a place in my city, or help him move back to his hometown,” the woman explained.
The friend ended up choosing the second option and opted to sleep on the woman’s couch for three weeks.
However, once the woman’s fiancé and his friend moved in, the woman was appalled by the friend’s behavior. While she was spending most of her free time trying to find him a new place, the friend apparently did nothing.
Instead, the woman noticed that he had terrible hygiene habits– such as never bathing, brushing his teeth, or doing his stinky laundry.
The friend would also disrupt the woman’s normal routine by keeping her up at night with the television blasting.
Finally, the man also lost his job, began to lie a lot, and secretly quit his medications cold turkey.
Still, the woman and her fiancé never brought up these issues. They simply kept trying to find the friend a new place while he barely contributed to the apartment search.
Then, just a few days before the friend’s three weeks of couch time was supposed to be up, he supposedly texted the woman and her fiancé.
“He said goodbye and that he was just going to live behind a dumpster. This managed to guilt trip my fiancé into giving him more time, but I warned the friend that he had two more weeks, then he’s out,” the woman recalled.
The two weeks came and went, but the friend did not make any progress in finding a new place. And by this point, the woman was at her wit’s end.
So, she and her fiancé decided that there was just nothing more they could do to help.
This prompted the couple to begin researching homeless shelters in the area that could more aptly support the friend.
And apparently, one shelter the woman found even had a mental health support team and job placement program.
So, one day, the couple told the friend to pack a bag, and they dropped him off at the homeless shelter. Still, the fiancé feels insanely guilty about their decision.
The woman, on the other hand, was honest in admitting that she does not feel guilty whatsoever.
“I don’t feel one ounce of remorse, and I wish we would have dropped him at the shelter sooner. The friend never contributed a cent towards any expenses, so, for fourteen weeks, my fiancé and I paid for all of his food, transportation, lodging, utilities, and entertainment,” the woman said.
Nonetheless, she is not sure if kicking out her fiancé’s friend– and not feeling bad about it– makes her a jerk.
Do you think the woman should feel responsible for the friend’s struggles after trying so hard to help him? Was a shelter with mental health support and job placement the best place for the friend?
