This might be a long read, just want to mention that. Should also mention that I am 47 years old, if that even matters.

During 2023 my parents really lost it and it's culminated in my mom going missing (the last I heard from her was that she had met someone online from the UK and they "needed" eachother"), to my parents divorcing and selling their appartment to my dad blackmailing me. Yes, you read that last part correct. He wants money for all the "help" he provided me with when I lived in Los Angeles for 19 years and he also wants monetary compensation for the "help" he provided me and my husband with when we started our company (this was not money btw).
He's not asking nicely. He's hostile.

Today he sent me an email with what he wanted and the shortened version of what I told him was that he and mom was the reason I fled to USA at the age of 17 in the first place. It was also thanks to their behavior I was constantly popping whatever pills I could find, downing bottles of wine and also seeing psychologists and eating antidepressants. It was also thanks to them I slept with all the wrong guys and slaughtered myself in the gym until I finally collapsed; mentally and physically. This was my entire 19 year stay in the States and then I was forced to move back home and deal with what I fled from in the first place. I had NOT ONE DIME when I landed in Sweden and all I wanted to do was to stay with my parents for a while and catch my breath. That lasted 2 weeks until my dad nervously told me that I better move out because I made mom miserable. I had to sleep on an acquaintance's couch for weeks..

I was fuming when I wrote that email and anyone that knows me well, will certify that when I've had enough it's better to just walk the other way real fast. Now I'm infested with major anxiety (like my parents have always succeeded in giving me) and also guilt for standing my ground and setting boundaries for the first time in my life :-/
I feel guilt for telling off my dad when they have treated me like an accessory for 47 years. How sick is that!?
