My Parents Sent Me a Tuition Bill

I never expected a bill for my college tuition—sent by my own parents. They always promised

to cover it. No strings attached. A lifelong vow suddenly shattered. This email lands,

demanding I repay every cent. I read it aloud during dinner. The weight of betrayal

crushed me. <break time="0.5s" /> Turns out, Dad's job vanished in the recession. Mom's medical bills

are spiraling. They call it a family emergency. But why spring this on me now?

Graduated, first job, and blindsided. A storm of emotions—used, angry,

heartbroken. They say I owe them for everything given. Yet, I can't shake the

sting of betrayal. Am I missing their pain, or just seeing my own?
