[quote=Anonymous]I blame your parents, too, OP.. I blame them for not making you stand on your own two feet.

If they no longer supported you, what would you do?   Live in a tiny apartment feeling sorry for yourself? Or would you hussle and try to figure out what you could do to make more money?  You have a background in graphic design. Why don't you go to night school and get some certificate or something in UX/UI design or something similar?

I have no doubt that if your parents forced you to go to law school or medical school, you'd be on here complaining that you hate your job and partly blame your parents for your miserable life, and how you wished you could work in graphic design.

For the record, I am 10x richer than my parents, who were uneducated blue color workers. I was laid off in my first job so I had to figure out what I was going to do because I sure as heck didn't have rich parents to fall back on.  I hussled and went back to school (I already had a degree) to study computer science. I got into IT, and started making six figures within two years.  My parents barely had about $100K saved when they retired.   I'm a female, and no, I *never* thought I would rely on a husband for my financial security. I never thought I'd get married so I knew I had to rely on myself.

I think the best thing your parents could do for you is to cut the chord and let you figure it out.  Stop blaming other people for your problems, and figure it out.  Your parents could even pay for your night school FFS,  something most of us didn't have.[/quote]
