20-year-old son goes no contact with parents after being told he needs to pay $500 per month rent, they question their decision when he accuses them of kicking him out

In the story below, the narrator is a frustrated mother who only wants understanding and answers. She has a 20-year-old son who lives at home, and she's been trying to teach him some financial literacy. Her and her husband start charging him 500 per month in rent money, but he doesn't pay. He also used their credit card while they were on a vacation and spent thousands of dollars without permission.

All these factors come to a close when she puts an ultimatum on him to pay back his debt. He moves out abruptly, but claims they kicked him out.
Comment below whether you think the parents are in the right, or if their kid is. To be honest, I think it's wrong and a bit strange for parents to charge their child rent. Isn't the point of having children to support them and make them feel like they're in a safe space? I will never understand the concept of parents charging their kid rent money, but it's a matter of opinion.

$500 per month in rent is a lot for parents to charge! What kind of lesson are they trying to teach him? Is it about money specifically, is it about responsibility? I'll never understand that a parent would charge their child rent. Just thinking about it makes me go into a panic.
