My awful entitled foster parents kicked me out of the house when I was 18 years old

0:04.8

all because they couldn't make money off of me any more from the state.

0:08.0

But now after all these years later, they're now contacting me begging me to move back in with them all under the guys that I'll have a place to stay

0:15.4

so that I can pay off their mortgage that they can no longer afford

0:19.0

but I decide to put them in their place by telling them off in a way that I've wanted to do since I was 18 years old.

0:25.0

Here's what happened.

0:26.0

Okay, so I wish I was making this stuff up because I honestly cannot believe the audacity or the stupidity of these people.

0:32.8

Now to start things out, I was told to leave by my 18th birthday by my foster parents

0:37.8

as I would no longer be profitable past 18 years old.

0:41.2

1:07.0

I was reunited with my biological family just after my 18th birthday and I moved in with them at 19 years old. I then spent the next six years

1:14.8

working 60 hours a week and paying zero rent. My mom refused to take a penny from me

1:19.7

until I could put down a deposit for a mortgage on my own place.

1:23.5

Well, I dropped $110,000 up front on a 165,000 two bedroom flat in 2015,

1:30.8

and I will be mortgage free before the end of 2024.

1:34.0

I have not been in contact with my foster parents since I slipped out in 2007.

1:39.0

I never had any intent of keeping in touch with them as they never once pretended to care about me during my childhood.

1:45.4
