Mom kicks out 18-year-old and sends her back to home country, demands $11k to pay back rent and grocery costs: 'The income I was getting wasn't enough to cover rent'

In a just world, when somebody becomes a parent, they should always be conscious of the fact that they are now fully responsible for another person until they become an adult. Many would argue that certain responsibilities carry on for the rest of your life. It is an experience that most people can agree requires a certain level of selflessness.

As we all know, things do not always work out that way. Plenty of moms and dads are not present in the way that they need to be, or abruptly turn on their kids as they get older and more independent.

As a young person, it can be a deeply stressful thing to deal with, and it can sometimes leave them feeling like they have done something wrong when that isn't the case. The idea that a child 'owes' a parent is a controversial concept at any stage of their childhood or adulthood.

AITA for refusing to pay my mum back $11k after being kicked out of home?

One teenager found herself dealing with this issue after her mom insisted that she pay her $11,000 to cover the groceries and rent she paid for after she kicked her daughter out and sent her to live in another country. She initially agreed to pay for this as her daughter found a source of income.
The 18-year-old refused this after her grandma came to her asking her to sign some paperwork that stated she did not have the mental capacity to manage her own money. This led her mom and grandma to cut contact with her, as well as any remaining funds. She wanted to know if she had done something wrong.
