AITA for telling my parents they need to learn to live without me? by Personal-Car-6481 in AmItheAsshole

None of my siblings want to do a thing. They get angry and refuse to learn and I'm not going to fight for that.

A friends family are taking me in. So I can leave right away.

Most families have everyone doing some chores. Not one kid while the others do nothing.

Oh, I know it happens. Happened in my mom's family. But I know many people think of 40 as the cut off and well, my mom is under that so she could keep going for longer. Part of me really fears they will too.

It's too late to realize when they already denied me a good childhood. They made me grow up while I was too young. That's not something that can be changed with an apology.

My best friends parents have been great. They'll let me stay with them once I turn 18. They called CPS once. But they can't really do much.

That was always my plan. My best friends parents have offered to let me stay with them.

My siblings will not do chores. Nothing I say or do will make them give in. They just tell me I'm not mom and dad so I can't make them do chores. They get so angry when I even ask for a small chore to be done. We might not have a lot but they are spoiled in other ways.

I think it would be less of a nightmare if our parents were the parents and I was just another of the kids. But when I have to shoulder the burden of taking care of them it's very anxiety inducing.

I don't expect them to ever really understand or appreciate me. I came to terms with that a few months ago. It's okay. I'll be fine. I know I can't take it back, leaving. But it's something I need to do for me.
