Am I wrong for removing my name from the mortgage to carve out my own path and stop financially supporting my family?

Raised by a strict South Asian family with relentless expectations, I removed my name from a joint mortgage to focus on my independence and financial stability. Am I in the wrong?

Hey Sarah, taking such a step must feel liberating yet challenging with expectations looming. Do you ever wonder if stepping away might change family dynamics over time? I’d love to hear about any new insights you’ve gained since this move.

The decision you made is clearly a reflection of prioritizing your well-being and establishing boundaries, which can be very difficult with traditional values and expectations. I have overlooked similar responsibilities in the past in favor of my own personal goals, and I have found that asserting one’s boundaries brings clarity and self-respect. Ultimately, responsibilities related to family should not compromise individual financial stability. It is important to remember that every choice carries consequences, yet investing in oneself is something that often yields long-term benefits.

hey sarah, i get it, you did what felt right. sometimes u gotta break free even if it stirs up famly drama. imho, prioritizing ur wellbeing isnt selfish. stay true to yourself and deal wit the fallout as it comes.
