my father decided he was going to charge me rent, I was so angry I couldn't believe he would 'treat me that way'. Now that I look back, it was fair for him to do it, given my age, the fact that I was working and I had supported myself and lived on my own before (in another cheaper province), he was right. I hated him at the time for a few days
but now I see that it motivated me to get out and find my own way to live and get an apartment. I figured if I was paying rent then I should at least get out and have my own privacy!!!! Years later, I can appreciate the fact that he did it, it was a hard lesson for me at the time but if he hadn't done it I think I would still feel a sense of entitlement to fall back on him when I please. He was probably trying to teach me a lesson and it's a good thing he did otherwise I might still be there!!"
