[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's a simple way to deal with this: stop asking your parents for money. You are an adult. Support yourself. Pay your own bills. If you can't afford your lifestyle, change your lifestyle.  Don't wait for an inheritance. Have no financial dealings with your parents at all.  You will much, much happier. [/quote]

That’s not how it works with financial abuse. It is rarely the adult child asking for money. The parent pretends to be generous, but does not disclose countless hidden strings. So they insist on fully funding grad school. Then you need to study during a holiday weekend rather than come home and you are the devil and the threats start. That is one of many examples. [/quote]

OP here- this exactly.

The controlling parent has lied to anyone who will listen for decades that he supports us financially and then throws a hissy fit when he hears through the grapevine that I have hired a professional rather than requesting his help (internet stalking my Google reviews).

I’d love to shut this off but simply keeping my distance isn’t enough.[/quote]

How many times are you people fooled by the "hidden strings" that go along with every handout? I mean.... fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice......[/quote]
