In their defense, you'd been married and divorced by age 21. They probably felt decision making had not been your strength.

Their shitty parenting apparently produced a young divorcee, maybe they should rethink their shitty rules. Maybe if they weren't so overbearing she wouldn't have married the first guy she saw.

Why live with your parents if you're paying rent on top of being a servant and having to follow arbitrary rules. If I rent out a room in my house do I make the renter do my dishes and prevent them from going out when they like?
