On Reddit, a child explained why they decided to disown their parents after receiving a large sum of money. "My parents had a rough marriage, frequently dragging me into their arguments. They always made it seem I was the main cause for all their problems. They had terrible spending habits, and always indulged way above their needs and limits. My grandfather, who had been my rock, became estranged from my parents due to their money asking behavior. I spent most weekends at his house, where I felt safe and loved, far from the chaos at home. As soon as I turned 18 I moved out of my parent's house immediately and stayed with my grandfather," they began.
