Mom Moved Her Friend And Kids Into My Room, So I Left To Pay The Bills At Home...

## Transcript

[0:00] Mom moved her friend and kids into my room, so I left to pay
[0:03] the bills at home and now she's begging me to come back.
[0:06] Although living at home at the age of 23 wasn't exactly what I
[0:09] had planned for my life, it worked out for the most part.
[0:12] I wasn't simply lounging around playing video games and eating
[0:15] snacks. I was paying my rent, my mom's
[0:17] phone bill, and my power bill. I had my own place, home cooked
[0:21] meals, and was able to concentrate on my freelance job
[0:24] without having to worry about large bills.
[0:26] I had even converted my room into a small studio for my
[0:29] content creation gigs, which I hoped would gain popularity
[0:32] soon. All in all, the arrangement was
[0:35] very fantastic. Everything was good until Kelly,
[0:38] my mom's best friend, moved in with her two children.
[0:41] I wasn't happy about it, but I could understand why.
[0:44] Kelly was going through a difficult divorce and her
[0:46] husband was a total jerk according to my mom, so they
[0:49] needed a place to stay and our house was the best choice.
[0:53] They stayed in the guest room at 1st and it wasn't a big deal.
[0:56] Sure, the kids were a little noisy, but I just closed my door
[0:59] and put on my headphones. I assumed it would only be
[1:02] temporary, only a few weeks until Kelly got back on her
[1:05] feet. I assumed that was the
[1:06] arrangement and didn't think much about it, but that quickly
[1:09] changed. The guest room wasn't very
[1:11] large, but it was sufficient for Kelly and her children to stay
[1:14] in for a time. I couldn't believe what I saw
[1:16] when I walked in one day after running some errands and saw
[1:19] something strange right away. My door was open and I could
[1:22] hear children laughing inside. My studio setup, including my
[1:26] pricey microphone, lighting and camera, was pushed into a corner
[1:29] as if it didn't matter. Kelly's kids were running around
[1:32] like they owned the place. My desk chair was shifted, my
[1:35] bed was covered in toys, and one of the kids was on my computer.
[1:39] I was so shocked that I probably screamed what the hell is going
[1:42] on louder than I should have. Calm your tits, my mother
[1:46] replied. It's not a big deal.
[1:48] The kids needed more space and your room is the biggest.
[1:51] It's only fair. My mother walked in and began
[1:54] berating me as if I was the one who was out of line.
[1:57] Fair. The room for which I was paying
[1:59] rent. She dismissed me as though I
[2:01] were being silly when I informed her that I wanted them out of my
[2:04] room right away. Saying you're being selfish,
[2:07] They need to be comfortable. I couldn't believe what I was
[2:10] hearing. This wasn't about comfort, it
[2:12] was about respect. My room wasn't just a place to
[2:15] sleep, it was a place where I worked.
[2:17] I had spent more than $3000 on my studio setup, so I couldn't
[2:21] just put it in a corner and forget about it.
[2:23] My mother was not amenable to my explanations, saying they're
[2:27] just kids, they want to play on your computer, stop making such
[2:30] a fuss. I quickly put an end to that
[2:33] notion, saying they are not touching my equipment in any way
[2:36] and if they do I'm in serious trouble.
[2:38] Kelly then said oh come on, they're just curious and you
[2:42] can't blame them. Maybe if you weren't so stiff
[2:45] they'd listen to you. I was shocked.
[2:48] I wasn't uptight, I was just trying to protect the things I
[2:50] had worked so hard to acquire. I told Kelly bluntly that her
[2:54] children couldn't touch my belongings and that I would hold
[2:56] her accountable if they did. Kelly called me selfish and my
[2:59] mother agreed. All of a sudden, I was the
[3:02] villain in my own house. The home became uncomfortable
[3:05] after that initial outburst, and I was shocked that my mom and
[3:08] Kelly were against me, especially because I was the one
[3:10] who was paying the rent. However, I assumed that after
[3:13] they calmed down, they would see how absurd this was.
[3:16] I tried to talk to my mom again the following day, explaining
[3:19] how important my studio equipment was to me, both
[3:22] financially and professionally. Freelancing isn't just a
[3:25] pastime, it's my job and I couldn't function without it and
[3:28] it would take months or maybe years to replace it.
[3:31] I'm not trying to be rude, but this is unfair.
[3:33] Mom. You gave it away without even
[3:35] asking me and I'm paying the rent for that room.
[3:38] You're being dramatic. It's my house and I decide what
[3:41] happens in it. She retorted.
[3:43] Your house, I pay rent, I'm contributing here, not just
[3:47] squatting for free. I exclaimed in shock.
[3:50] The kids need space. Your brother's room is too
[3:52] small, and your sister's room is full of her things.
[3:55] Besides, your room has all that fancy stuff and they like it
[3:58] better. She shrugged as if it didn't
[4:01] matter. My sister's room was nearly as
[4:03] large as mine, and to be honest, she hardly used it because she
[4:06] was always out with her friends. But my mother wouldn't even
[4:09] entertain the possibility that my siblings, both of whom were
[4:12] 15, had perfectly good rooms. My brother's was smaller, but it
[4:16] was still large enough for two children.
[4:18] She claimed that the kids adore your room since it is cooler,
[4:20] and that all of your glitzy devices add to their enjoyment.
[4:23] Fun. This wasn't about having fun.
[4:26] My room served as a place where I lived, worked and unwinded,
[4:30] not as a play area for Kelly's children.
[4:33] What, are you going to replace anything if they break it
[4:36] because I can't afford to? I asked her.
[4:38] Oh, stop being so paranoid. They're kids, not monsters.
[4:43] If you just let them play, they'd probably leave your stuff
[4:45] alone, Kelly added. At that point, letting them play
[4:48] on my $3000 setup. Are you serious?
[4:52] No way, I yelled. You're being selfish.
[4:55] This is a difficult time for us and you're making it all about
[4:58] you, said Kelly, rolling her eyes.
[5:01] When I finally had enough, I turned to my mother and told her
[5:04] I have to move my stuff out. If they're staying in my room, I
[5:07] can't risk them damaging it. Where are you going to put it?
[5:10] There's no space anywhere else? She asked laughing.
[5:13] Really laughing. I raised my voice and said.
[5:16] So I'm just supposed to let them trash my stuff?
[5:19] How is that fair? Life is unfair, you're an adult,
[5:23] you should be able to handle a little inconvenience.
[5:25] My mother said, shaking her head.
[5:27] A minor annoyance. No, it was disrespectful to be
[5:30] evicted from my own room. I had paid rent for that space
[5:33] and now I was not only unable to use it, but I was also
[5:36] prohibited from entering my room, which my mother claimed
[5:39] was their space now and that I had no right to enter.
[5:42] I spent the next few days attempting to avoid being at
[5:44] home as much as possible, hanging out at coffee shops and
[5:48] working on my laptop. But it wasn't the same.
[5:50] Without my studio setup. I was falling behind on
[5:52] deadlines, my productivity plummeted, and my stress levels
[5:56] were through the sky. Look, I replied, I'll work out a
[5:59] deal. Let me move my setup into the
[6:01] guest room and they stay in my room.
[6:03] That way I can continue working and they can have the space they
[6:06] need. This was my final attempt to
[6:09] talk sense into my mother's head.
[6:11] No, you'll just have to wait until Kelly gets back on her
[6:13] feet. The guest room is too small for
[6:15] all your stuff. She said without even
[6:17] considering it. How long will that take?
[6:20] I questioned impatiently. As long as it takes.
[6:23] She shrugged, adding you don't get to set deadlines for other
[6:26] people's struggles. I wanted to help Kelly and her
[6:28] children because I knew they were going through a difficult
[6:31] time, but this wasn't helping, it was enabling.
[6:34] Kelly wasn't paying anything to stay with us, and now I was
[6:37] essentially being forced out of my own life to make room for
[6:39] them. I couldn't believe this was
[6:41] happening. I heard Kelly moaning about me
[6:43] later that night in the kitchen, calling me immature and selfish,
[6:47] saying he doesn't even understand how hard this is for
[6:50] us. He's just being a brat.
[6:52] He's always been stubborn. He'll get over it.
[6:54] My mother concurred. That was the last straw.
[6:57] I knew they didn't give a damn about me or my predicament.
[7:00] I was simply a paycheck to my mom and a barrier to Kelly and
[7:03] her children. They wouldn't listen and they
[7:05] wouldn't change. Despite the odd turmoil, I love
[7:09] living at home. It was affordable and I got
[7:11] along with my brothers. However, I couldn't continue to
[7:14] live somewhere where I wasn't appreciated, so I started
[7:17] looking for rooms to rent the following day.
[7:20] After feeling like a stranger in my own house for days, I finally
[7:23] had enough and realized that respect was more important than
[7:25] the room anymore. I was trying to establish a
[7:28] future for myself, pay my bills, and pay my rent, but neither my
[7:32] mom nor Kelly seemed to care. They had decided that my needs
[7:35] came first, and I was sick of it.
[7:38] I thought that if I could show my mom how serious I was, she
[7:41] would finally listen. One evening, when it was just
[7:44] the two of us and my siblings were upstairs and Kelly was
[7:46] putting her kids to bed, I sat my mom down in the living room.
[7:50] Mom, I said calmly at the beginning.
[7:52] We need to talk. She looked at me wearily and
[7:55] said, What now? I said, I can't continue to live
[7:58] this way. You gave it away without asking,
[8:01] and it's unfair. I've been paying rent for that
[8:03] room and now I can't even use it.
[8:06] We've been through this. It's temporary, Kelly and the
[8:09] kids are going through a hard time.
[8:11] You're young and you can adapt, she said, leaning back on the
[8:14] couch with a sigh. You didn't ask me, you just
[8:17] decided that my room wasn't mine anymore and now I can't even
[8:20] work since everything I own is packed up or pushed into a
[8:23] corner. That's not the point, I shot
[8:25] back. It's about respect, not about
[8:28] adjusting. She waved me away and remarked.
[8:30] You're being dramatic. This is my house, and I get to
[8:33] decide what happens in it. It seemed like a slap in the
[8:36] face each time she uttered that line.
[8:38] I remarked, If this is your house, then why am I paying
[8:41] rent? Perhaps I shouldn't be paying
[8:44] anything at all. If you're going to treat me like
[8:46] a guest, don't you dare pull that.
[8:48] You know I need your help with the bills, she said, her eyes
[8:51] narrowing. I yelled.
[8:53] That's not how this works. You can't take my money every
[8:56] month and then turn around and say I have no say.
[8:58] Then treat me like I matter. What do you want me to do?
[9:02] Throw Kelly and her kids out on the street they have nowhere
[9:05] else to go. She said giving me a crazy eyes
[9:08] look number. But there are other options.
[9:12] They could move into one of my siblings rooms or stay in the
[9:14] guest room. Hell you could even rotate rooms
[9:17] so everyone takes turns sharing the space.
[9:20] But taking my room and locking me out, that's not OK.
[9:23] I said shaking my head. Your room was the best option.
[9:27] My mother said crossing her arms.
[9:29] Your brother and sister are too young to share their rooms, and
[9:32] the guest room is too small for three people.
[9:34] No, I shot back. It was the simplest solution.
[9:38] You dumped it on me because you didn't want to handle the
[9:40] hassle. The last word.
[9:43] I'll make this simple. I said, staring her in the eye.
[9:47] Either Kelly and the kids move out of my room or I move out of
[9:50] the house. Those are your options.
[9:53] My irritation bubbled over at that moment.
[9:55] Surprised, she blinked. Don't be crazy, where would you
[9:59] even go? She said.
[10:01] I informed her. If you don't respect me or the
[10:03] fact that I'm paying to live here, then I'll find somewhere
[10:06] else to live. I had already begun looking for
[10:08] rooms to rent. You're bluffing.
[10:10] You can't afford to move out. She sneered.
[10:13] Try me. I said, leaning back and
[10:15] crossing my arms. My mom didn't take me seriously,
[10:18] which only strengthened my resolve.
[10:20] So I spent every free moment looking through rental listings,
[10:23] messaging landlords, and figuring out my budget.
[10:26] It wasn't going to be easy, but I knew I could make it work if I
[10:29] cut back on non essentials. The next few days were
[10:32] stressful. I didn't bring up the ultimatum
[10:34] again, but it hung in the air like a storm cloud.
[10:37] At home, however, things deteriorated.
[10:40] Kelly's children had transformed my room into their own
[10:42] playground and I was not even permitted to enter without
[10:45] someone yelling. One day I attempted to get some
[10:48] books and a set of headphones that I had left behind, but
[10:51] Kelly stopped me. With her fists on her hips, she
[10:54] stood in the doorway and demanded.
[10:56] What are you doing in here? I tried to seem calm.
[10:58] As I said, I need my stuff. This is their room now, so you
[11:02] can't just walk in whenever you want.
[11:04] She said shaking her head. I was dumbfounded as I looked at
[11:07] her and said are you serious? This is my room?
[11:11] Not anymore. She stated in a cold tone.
[11:14] You have to respect their personal space.
[11:16] With clenched teeth I answered. I'm paying rent for this room so
[11:19] I'll gather my belongings and go.
[11:21] But don't tell me to respect their space when no one respects
[11:24] mine. The irony almost made me giggle.
[11:27] My mom wasn't going to support me, and Kelly wasn't going to
[11:30] change, so I knew that if I wanted things to improve, I
[11:33] would have to take matters into my own hands.
[11:35] She muttered something under her breath and left, but the damage
[11:38] was already done. Relocating the landlord was
[11:41] friendly, the room was clean enough, and most importantly, I
[11:44] could set up my studio without worrying about kids touching my
[11:47] equipment. I found a room for rent a week
[11:49] after the ultimatum, which was within my budget.
[11:52] It was a small space in an older building, but it was mine.
[11:56] When I signed the lease, I felt a strange mixture of relief and
[11:59] sadness because I had to put myself first, even if it meant
[12:01] leaving behind the house I'd grown up in.
[12:04] I didn't tell my mom right away because I wanted to make sure
[12:06] everything was finalized before I dropped the bombshell.
[12:10] After I signed the lease for my new place, I knew I had to act
[12:13] quickly because if I gave my mom too much notice, she would find
[12:16] a way to make the move even more difficult.
[12:18] I carefully planned it out and told a few close friends about
[12:21] it, and two of them agreed to help me pack and move my
[12:23] belongings. One of them even offered to
[12:25] record everything on their phone just in case things got ugly.
[12:29] I knew it would be difficult, especially with my mom and Kelly
[12:31] breathing down my neck, but I didn't care it anymore.
[12:34] I wanted to give my mom one last chance to make amends, so I sat
[12:38] down with her the night before the move.
[12:40] Mom. I began calmly.
[12:42] I'm moving out tomorrow, and I found a place to rent.
[12:44] Startled, she raised her head from her phone and said.
[12:47] You're really doing this? Yes.
[12:49] I replied, nodding. You didn't give me a lot of
[12:52] options. You're overreacting.
[12:55] This whole thing is temporary. You're leaving over nothing.
[12:58] She said, rolling her eyes. I firmly stated.
[13:02] It's not nothing. You treated me like a disposable
[13:04] object, gave away my room, locked me out, and told me I had
[13:08] no say in the matter. You know I need your rent money
[13:11] to keep this house running. If you leave, how am I supposed
[13:14] to pay the bills? She groaned as if I were wearing
[13:17] her out. You made it obvious that this
[13:19] isn't my house. You stated that it's your house,
[13:21] your rules. Well, if that's the case, then I
[13:24] don't have to stay here. I answered, pushing off a twinge
[13:27] of remorse. So you're just going to leave us
[13:30] high and dry? She glared at me.
[13:32] I shrugged and said. I don't owe you anything.
[13:35] You can ask Kelly or her husband, since they're still
[13:38] married, to start paying the rent.
[13:41] I decided to leave after she gave me a chilly glance and
[13:43] return to her phone without saying anything else.
[13:46] My friends arrived early the following day with a rented van
[13:49] and a few cars, and we were prepared to finish everything as
[13:51] soon as possible. I had previously packed the
[13:54] majority of my belongings into boxes, but I still needed to
[13:57] move my studio setup out of my old room.
[13:59] The kids were running around the living room and Kelly was
[14:02] sitting at the kitchen table with a cup of coffee when we
[14:04] arrived at the house. She looked at me suspiciously.
[14:07] As soon as I entered. She narrowed her eyes and
[14:09] questioned. What's going on.
[14:12] I'm leaving, I said plainly. Really, you're leaving because
[14:16] of this? That's pathetic, she said,
[14:18] raising her eyebrows. Ignoring her, I went upstairs to
[14:22] my room, or what had been my room, and when I opened the
[14:24] door, I was nearly sickened by what I saw.
[14:27] My desk was cluttered with random items, my computer,
[14:30] microphone, and camera were crammed into a corner, and they
[14:33] appeared to have been neglected for weeks.
[14:35] Start recording. I said, turning to one of my
[14:38] buddies as I gently started packing away my equipment.
[14:41] He took out his phone and started shooting, and Kelly must
[14:44] have recognized what was going on because she walked upstairs
[14:47] and began to yell. This is their room now, so you
[14:50] can't just walk in here and start taking stuff, She yelled.
[14:53] It's my stuff, Kelly. I paid for it and I'm taking it
[14:56] with me, I said, turning to face her while maintaining my
[14:59] composure. You're being ridiculous.
[15:01] You're throwing a tantrum over a couple of kids needing space,
[15:04] She said, crossing her arms. This isn't a tantrum, I
[15:08] responded steadily. This is me defending myself.
[15:11] You and my mother have treated me as though I'm unimportant and
[15:14] I'm over it. My mom came upstairs to see what
[15:17] was going on, and when she saw the empty room, she flipped out.
[15:20] She started screaming again, but I ignored her and continued
[15:23] packing, and my friends helped me load everything into the van
[15:26] while one of them continued to film in case Kelly or my mom
[15:29] tried to pull something. She said, her voice trembling
[15:32] with rage. You're really leaving us just
[15:35] because you didn't get your way? I gave her a direct look and
[15:38] said. I'm leaving because you didn't
[15:39] respect me. You made it clear that I'm not a
[15:42] priority here, so I'm making myself a priority.
[15:45] I paid rent for this room and you gave it away without even
[15:48] asking. Don't, I've made my decision.
[15:51] I said, holding up a hand as she opened her lips to disagree.
[15:54] Kelly stood in the doorway, her arms crossed, gazing at me as I
[15:58] carried the last box out to the van.
[16:00] Good luck out there. She murmured cynically.
[16:03] Because when things get tough, you'll realize how selfish
[16:05] you've been. I simply got into the van and
[16:08] drove off with my companions without even bothering to
[16:10] answer. My mom was outraged and accused
[16:13] me of being selfish and thoughtless for leaving her in a
[16:15] difficult situation, saying that I was quitting the family and
[16:18] leaving her to handle the bills alone.
[16:20] That night, after I had moved into my new house and begun
[16:23] unpacking, my phone exploded with texts from her.
[16:26] One text said. I can't believe you'd do this to
[16:28] me after everything I've done for you.
[16:30] You've always been so selfish. She had made her decisions and
[16:34] now I was making mine. So I typed up a response but
[16:37] erased it since I didn't owe her an explanation.
[16:39] As soon as I moved into my new home, I was relieved that there
[16:42] would be no more arguments, disrespect, or most importantly,
[16:46] that I didn't matter. My new room was smaller and the
[16:49] building wasn't exactly the best, but it was quiet and it
[16:51] was mine. I started by unpacking my studio
[16:54] gear and carefully arranging it in my room's corner.
[16:57] I felt like I could finally breathe for the first time in
[16:59] weeks. However, the tranquility was
[17:02] short lived trips of guilt. The following morning, my mom
[17:07] began bombarding my phone with messages asking whether I had
[17:10] paid the rent for the month. When I told her that I wasn't
[17:12] paying because I had moved out, she became furious.
[17:15] She texted. You owe me for the remainder of
[17:18] this month, and you haven't even reached the 25th yet.
[17:21] I rolled my eyes and said, No, I don't.
[17:24] You can ask Kelly to pay the rent because I'm not living
[17:26] there anymore. Kelly doesn't have money to pay
[17:28] rent. You know that you're leaving me
[17:31] to handle everything on my own, and I can't afford it, she said
[17:34] almost immediately. I replied by text.
[17:37] That's not my problem. You stated clearly that it's
[17:40] your house and your rules now. It's your bills and your
[17:43] responsibility. That response infuriated her,
[17:46] and she began accusing me of being ungrateful, selfish, and
[17:49] immature, saying that my departure was tearing the family
[17:52] apart. Initially, the guilt began to
[17:54] seep in, but I reminded myself of why I had left in the first
[17:57] place. My mom had treated me like a
[17:59] throwaway object, so why should I feel guilty about prioritizing
[18:03] myself? I had always contributed
[18:05] financially, and I knew my efforts had made a significant
[18:08] impact. My mom sent me lengthy
[18:10] meandering texts about how I was ruining things the following
[18:13] week, and the guilt trips escalated into fury.
[18:16] Everyone in the family is asking why you left, and I don't know
[18:19] what to tell them. One text said.
[18:21] It was amazing how much better I felt without all the chaos and
[18:24] negativity weighing me down. So I didn't bother responding
[18:27] because I knew that anything I said would only make things
[18:30] worse. Instead, I concentrated on
[18:32] getting settled in my new home, catching up on work, and getting
[18:35] my studio back up and running. My sister contacted me
[18:38] unexpectedly a few days later, and since I hadn't heard from
[18:41] her since I moved out, I assumed she wanted to check in.
[18:44] However, as soon as I answered, I knew she had other plans.
[18:48] She skipped the small conversation and exclaimed.
[18:51] Mom is really upset. She says you're not paying rent
[18:54] this month and now she's freaking out about the bills?
[18:57] I said calmly. I'm not living there anymore,
[19:00] why should I pay rent for a place I'm not living in?
[19:03] My sister countered. But you know she can't afford it
[19:06] without you. Why stop now?
[19:08] You've always helped out. I told her straight out because
[19:12] she didn't respect me. She gave away my room, locked me
[19:15] out and treated me like I didn't matter.
[19:17] I'm enough of being taken advantage of.
[19:20] It's not that easy. Mom is just trying to help and
[19:23] Kelly is going through a lot. My sister groaned.
[19:26] I replied. I understand that, but why does
[19:29] assisting Kelly mean that I'm being taken advantage of?
[19:32] I paid the rent for that room so I had every right to keep it.
[19:35] My sister added pathetically. She's just stressed out and
[19:39] didn't mean to screw you over. I retorted.
[19:41] So am I, but nobody gave a damn when I was being forced out of
[19:45] my own room. I could tell she was stuck in
[19:47] the middle, but I wasn't going to allow her shame me into
[19:49] changing my opinion so I hung up.
[19:51] After we spoke for a few more minutes, largely about her
[19:54] school related issues, a final stunt, my mother began to cut
[19:58] off her texts. As the days passed, I believe
[20:01] she understood I wouldn't back down, but she did one more thing
[20:04] that made me glad I had left. I received a text message 1
[20:07] morning saying hey I heard about the drama with your mom, are you
[20:11] OK? From a relative I hadn't spoken
[20:13] to in years. I asked them what they were
[20:15] talking about, confused, and they sent me a screenshot of one
[20:19] of my mom's Facebook posts. She portrayed me as the bad guy
[20:22] in it, saying that I had abandoned her and the family
[20:24] when they were in need, omitting the part where she gave away my
[20:27] room of course, and making it seem as though I had departed
[20:30] out of pure resentment. I was incensed.
[20:33] Arguing with me in private was one thing, but sharing our
[20:36] private problems on the Internet?
[20:38] That was too much. I didn't reply to the post
[20:41] because I thought it wasn't worth the trouble.
[20:43] If she had to play the victim, then let her.
[20:45] I knew the truth, and so did the people who really mattered.
[20:49] My mom still texts me occasionally, but I limit the
[20:52] conversation to neutral subjects and keep it brief.
[20:54] I've learned to set boundaries and am no longer allowing her to
[20:57] guilt trip me. Now, a month later, I'm
[21:00] completely settled in my new place.
[21:02] My work is back on track, my stress levels are significantly
[21:05] lower, and I'm finally beginning to feel like myself again.
[21:08] If my mom couldn't give me the respect I deserve, I had to find
[21:11] it somewhere. Moving out was the best thing I
[21:14] could have done for myself, and I'm not looking back.
[21:16] Do I feel awful about leaving sometimes?
[21:20] Yes. It's terrible that things had to
[21:22] end this way, but I don't regret my.
