She Told Her Mom She’s Moving Out And Cutting Off All Financial Help If She Takes In Two Teen Boys
This 27-year-old woman is currently going through a divorce that’s taking a painfully long time to complete.
She moved out of the house she lived in and found a studio in the state where she’s from. Since her lease is nearly up, her dad, who is a realtor, has been trying to help her find somewhere new to live.
But then, her mom said she could move back in with her and help her pay the rent, as her mom needs help with this.
“I agreed with a few conditions,” she explained. “I told my mom one of the conditions is that I will not share a bathroom with anyone. I do not want people touching my food. I need quiet since I work from home.”
“I live in a high cost of living area where my studio runs me about $1,850 plus utilities. Now I would pay $1,200 a month to my mom towards utilities and her mortgage. On top of my attorney fees, car payment, and just everyday bills that my soon-to-be ex isn’t legally mandated to cover.”
“She recently let it slip while on the phone that she applied to sponsor 2 of her friend’s teenage boys through a visa program. These boys have 2 living parents who do well enough where they vacation 3 months out of the year, they own their own business, the kids go to private school, have guards, a nanny, a full cleaning staff, and more.”
The parents of these teens want them to come to America so that they can have better opportunities than what they have to choose from where they’re from.
After her mom was done on the phone, she confronted her and asked if she really applied for the two teens to come to live with them.
Her mom confirmed this, so she went to call her dad and see if there was still an apartment available in a complex she really liked.

It turns out there isn’t an apartment available right now, but there will be one for her to move into sometime in April.
She then informed her mom that if she goes ahead with taking in the two teens, she will be moving right out and cutting off all financial support.
“She can’t afford to not have me since her medical condition has caused her to cut back on hours,” she said.
“These kids used to spend summers with us, and I genuinely wanted to pull my hair out every day they were here.”
“My aunts and uncles wouldn’t allow their kids to visit when they were here. They got my mom kicked out of establishments and family parties because they lack manners and refuse to clean up after themselves.”
She will not live alongside two teen boys, especially since it was tough on her growing up to live with her messy brother.
She has already started to pack her bags, which has caused her mom to call her selfish. Her mom is also hurt that she gave her a place to live amid her failure of a marriage, and this is how she’s repaying her.
Her mom said she can’t believe she would pick being comfortable over supporting the future of these two teen boys.
“I’ve even spoken to my soon-to-be ex-husband about me moving out, and he asked if I would be willing to take over his lease since he wants to move back aboard to be closer to family,” she continued.
“I miss being in a walkable city. I wouldn’t have to take my car, and since our place was fully furnished during our marriage, it should save me some money.”
“If I go this route, I know that my mom can’t afford to live in this house alone. Due to her financial situation, the applications would most likely get denied. This would put a further strain on our already fragile relationship.”
She’s left wondering if it’s wrong of her to want to move out over the teens moving in. What do you think?
