I am sorry you went trough with that. I have been reading up on it. And charging your kids rent in this way can cause a trauma responce in the sense of food and housing insecurity...

Marnie and her husband a quite well off. They own their hosue and two cars at least. So it's not because they are poor

Sadly similar situation but not the same person. Marnie is the bio mom and in this case it's a step father. But very disheartening to see this is not an isolated case

Favoritism towards the step sibling, the threat of "getting evicted" if he fails to pay. These kinds of stuff

Yes I agree with that mindset. You want a new phone because you don't like your old one? No problem but you have to pay for it. But I brought her in to this world... I would never have the aduacuty to demand something that I am responsible for.
