For some context, I am a 18yo M living with my parents. My Mom recently helped me get a high paying job somewhere, which is way better than the fast food job I had not too long ago, which I am very grateful for. Recently my parents have had financial issues, which I have willingly paid for, such as the AC going out, washing machine breaking, car problems, and many more. In total the cost reached over $1800, which I was told I would be paid back for, but recently my dad told me i’m not getting any of it back. Even though I was salty asf about it, I decided to let it go. Yesterday my parents received a letter in the mail stating they were kicked off housing for reasons I can’t say. Before they had received that information, I was planning on moving out march of 2024, but now my dad is telling me that if I don’t stay an extra year to help pay bills, “i’m not loyal to the family and I might as well leave soon.” I told him i’d stay longer to help, but i can’t promise that i’d stay a year, and he’s still trying to tell me I don’t care about the family because of my decision. I understand the severity of their situation, but i can’t guarantee that i’ll put my life on hold for a year, because he can’t pay the bills. AITA?
