Im 19M. My parents are both mid 40s. Both have dreamed of having a house since I can remember. Especially my father.
Now they have saved up a bit over the years ~120k. But thats not enough to get a house around our area. And they want to take on a loan. And have me cosign in order to seal the deal.
I’ve never been fond of my parents. My father has always been this angry distant person all of my life. And my mother is worse.
They brought it up with me yesterday. I refused outright, my father was upset but he didn’t say anything snd my mother was shocked that I would refuse.
Come the next day, today, my mother again brings up the topic. Where again I refused.
She went ballistic.
“I’ve never seen a child so selfish” “What have we been raising you for” “Don’t you care about us”
She went on and on.
I thought maybe she was right to some degree and that I should help. But I told her that I wasn’t going to sign anything rather I’d help out and give some money per month in order to help with the mortgage.
She said that wasn’t good enough. And that I needed to cosign. I again for refused her. She told me to never call her mom again.
Am I the asshole?
