Why Am I Always Paying—But My Family Never Visits? 😤
I busted my tail moving across the country for college, covering every single bill myself. For six years, I didn’t see my family—not because I didn’t want to, but because I just couldn’t afford it. Now, I finally live just an hour away, but my parents have never once visited my place. Not even out of curiosity! Every holiday, it’s expected that I drop everything, spend my own money, and travel to them. Their excuse? "The city is scary." Yet, when there’s a family gathering, it’s always on me to make the effort and foot the bill.
It stings when friends ask why my parents have never seen my home. I feel angry, used, and honestly, heartbroken. How do you even bring up this kind of financial and emotional imbalance without starting a fight? Am I wrong for feeling this way? What would you do if you were in my shoes? 😔💸
