It's the dunk tank.

At least from my anecdotal experience (lived at different times with separate parents and both sets of grandparents after turning 18) I think most people who would expect rent from their kids would be total scumbags and likely burger-brained.

The only one who asked for it, also conveniently kicked me out once for a short time on a misunderstanding (thought I was lying about having a job- or at least that's the claim, nowadays I don't know if that was just part of the plan- uh, typical narcissist stuff). They'd also always threaten to refuse the rent (and boot me out) if I didn't go to church, etc... and of course transitioning was a no-go. Talked to them about it much later (nowadays we're NC) and they said they had never even considered that it could be rental abuse... they're still a shithead but at least I don't think they're charging my siblings rent now

I started using this name after somewhat of a complete breakdown, but that's a few years ago now if it helps :> still usually sad but it gets better, lately been socializing more so that's a plus.
