Living with parents can be tough. It can be even tougher when they start seeing someone and their relationship is open. However, when their partner moves in and starts acting like he owns the place, that’s a recipe for disaster.
This is what happened to the 18-year-old teenager in this situation , who has been paying rent since he was 16 to help out his financially strapped parents. The teenager tried talking to his parents about their disrespectful partner, but they dismissed his complaints.
