Default Re: Family situation, need some advice

Sounds like we have the same family. The solution is extremely simple. Stop accepting "gifts".

I moved out of my parents house when I turned 18. Everything I have and everything I own, I worked for and bought myself.

Though the years, family has tried to "give" me something or "help me out". "No, but thanks anyways." is the only thing I have ever given them.

Sometimes they have tried to tell me what to do, or what to do with my things that I have bought myself. Usually my answer is a lot less polite, but it still starts out with "NO..."
