A Reddit user who told his father he was now “effectively homeless” was completely in the right to do so, said other users of the website.

“The deal he made with me was that I could always come back home if I was struggling too much financially ,” said OkNumber787. His father refused to budge, saying, “He told me I needed to grow up and handle this like an adult, to figure out my own problems.” Other users pointed out that OkNumber787’s father was not acting like an adult either in this situation, especially when it comes to housing policy.

“This father’s actions, unfortunately, do not reflect great parenting,” Rachel Goldberg, LMFT, founder of Rachel Goldberg Therapy in Los Angeles, told Fox News Digital in an email. “It’s perfectly reasonable for a parent to want their child to take on responsibility and learn to fend for themselves. However, the way this situation was handled — initially offering his son support and then abruptly withdrawing it — damages their relationship and erodes trust.
