Cutting ties don’t always mean that he doesn’t see them as family anymore. Maybe he just moved out and still sends them money. I hope he does bc his family did raised him and provide shelter and food for them. But I also understand the mental stress he was put under. And each person act upon their own needs and wants. The MC doesn’t want to live that suffocating life anymore so it makes sense for him want to get away but it’s not okay for him to drop them completely. It’s just like a countryside kid moving to Tokyo bc he’s sick of his hometown and want to explore and have more opportunities. We should at least applaud the MC for being able to do what he did. He hold himself accountable for his studying, studied super hard, and then his grades was falling due to work and stress, the fate of passing the entrance exam determines what college he can get into and what kind of job he’ll be able to work. His future depends on it. So I think it was okay for him to be a lil selfish in trying to work hard for himself and used his money. Bc if he didn’t and let everything go, he would’ve been stuck in his house only working part time jobs. He didn’t demand anything from his parent or accused them for not helping.
Also some of y’all need to chill and stop comparing lives and who’s household is worse or better off. No one gets to choose what kind of household you get born into but you can choose the paths you want to take and what kind of lives you want to live. If the MC had completely cut his family off and doesn’t send them money, I agree that’s too far and selfish. But his parents are also toxic for the MC and on his mental health . Maybe they didn’t abuse him but seeing them just reminds the MC of their struggling household and the obstacles he had to endure and it puts a lot of stress on people. Just like if someone made you uncomfortable in school and even if they stop bothering you, every time you see them you’ll still be reminded of it. And that’s why the MC needs to leave so he knows that his family is not what he’s limited to. The MC never blamed his parents for anything or demand anything out of them. He didn’t cross the line and he gave them his savings he saved up to help with the household. If he was TOXIC he could’ve dipped and didn’t leave them anything. The connection between them was already cut off when the parents were too busy and tired to care for him as a parents and a young child being put under stress for years
Some of yall don't know how painful it is to have to cut ties with toxic people for your own overall health and stability. Especially when those toxic people are your family or long time friends. The raws definitely hinted that his parents were toxic as hell.
