Weston had it all⌠except a clue. Never paid a bill. Never did laundry. Never had to. At 27, he finally moved out. Cue the â¨$7,700 broker fee⨠and the $300 coffee maker he couldnât afford.
At first, it felt like freedom. Then the bills hit. And suddenly, independence wasnât aesthetic â it was overdraft fees and frozen pizza.
đ âThis time felt like failure⌠dressed up as independence.â Oof. That line hits.
This episode of Mental is for anyone whoâs ever felt behind, babied, or fake-grown. Because the truth is, your parentsâ love can accidentally hold you back. And adulting isnât about nice couches â itâs about learning how to respond when it all goes sideways.
đ§ Tap in for Westonâs story â or risk learning the hard way like he did. Responsibility doesnât mean control. It means you actually know how to respond.
