Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : My fiancé and I lived with my parents to save money. After about a year we had enough to furnish an apartment without going into our house funds. At this time we knew the lease on the house was up at the end of the next month. There had been drama with my fiancé and my mom so everything lined up for us to move out. I told parents we’re going to move out since the lease is up and we want to be on our own. 

I paid 350$ rent and nothing else. We buy our own food and I had given my parents 5000$ to pay off debt so that’s my justification for not paying utilities. They told us they couldn’t afford the house if we moved out and that we never even pay utilities. I asked them why not get a smaller house since the lease was up? They said it wasn’t up until a couple months later. 

My mother and father are pathological liars. Knowing this I called the landlord and asked him myself. He reconfirmed that the lease was up within 4 weeks. 

I now own a house with my fiancé and we’re doing well! My parents don’t contact me anymore though and I have no urge to contact them. I feel so much happier but I still wonder if I am the asshole.
