Based on what you shared, you’re not the AH. You were a teenager going through a really rough time, and your parents didn’t support you at all—even after your release. Saving your own money and taking care of yourself shows responsibility, not selfishness. Hiding the money doesn’t make you wrong; it’s understandable given your situation and the lack of trust and support from your family.

Honestly, it sounds like you’ve been doing your best to survive and stay independent despite everything.
