I’m a 25-year-old unmarried woman, the middle child — often made to feel like the “unwanted” one. My family gave me education, and I’ll always respect that. But somewhere along the way, education became an unspoken lifetime contract of sacrifice.For the past 4 years, I’ve been earning and giving almost everything to my house. Responsibilities kept increasing, but my freedom never did. Every time I tried to think about myself, I was reminded of “duty,” guilt, and how much I “owe” them.

It was their decision to bring you to earth which means they should provide basic care. You do not owe them anything. Parents should know the responsibilities that come with a child, and it is their decision to have kids. If kids do anything out of love and respect then that’s fine, but you do not owe anything.

Sadly I had to move out and set very strong boundaries too to make them realize that I dont owe anything to anyone. I was brought in this world by their wish and education is a right. Atleast this way I was happy.

Noone is going to suffer or feel for you. You have to think about yourself too.

The hardest part is not responsibility itself. It’s growing up without emotional safety, without boundaries, and constantly feeling like your worth depends only on what you provide.
