Woman Cuts Off Parents After They Demand She Pay Their Expenses

A woman supported her parents for three years after they helped her when she became a single mom. However, when she got married, her parents expected her to continue to pay all their expenses, even though they were both only 52 years old. The woman and her husband decided to move out and start their own family, but her parents demanded she continue to support them. When she refused to pay all their expenses, they demanded that she leave her son behind. The woman is now wondering if she is the a**hole for cutting off her parents.
