In reply to the discussion: Harvard study: Women more likely to divorce men who don't live up to the breadwinner stereotype [View all]GulfCoast66
(11,949 posts)51. There are lots of different opinions
There was no need to 'kick' us out since we had been told our entire lives that when we reached 18 we had a few options...go to college, which my dad, who is according to you a sociopath, paid for in full. Or find a job in a reasonable amount of time and either pay him a fair rent or get an apartment. We went to college.
But we knew when we graduated college the deal remained the same, pay him or move out. If we had decided we could not find a job that suited us he would indeed have kicked us out. There was always the military.
My parents often said they were responsible to raise correctly, educate us and prepare us for independence. Dad often said he was not responsible for our happiness. That was on us.
