i faced the same situation but is slightly different and there is a part 2 to it. 1st the difference is that there isn't limited resources (money). It's just that they feel it's their lost to spend money on their daughter. They rather spend it on themselves, buying branded facial products, dress, radio, etc. Part 2 is that my story didn't end when I earn triple of my elder brother salary. I allow my parents to enjoy life with good food and travel. But they are not appreciative. What I gotten is only complain that I didn't do more. They demand more even a house from me. That drove me crazy as no matter how much I earn, it will never be enough to meet their demand. I felt into mental strain and depression. Holding on, hoping that one day they will love me make me sink into greater sadness. Now I walked out by leaving them with minimum contact, but still providing them the allowance for basic living. It is not the amount of money that will make me happy and I will never get their love nor their apology. I need to leave such toxic parents to be happy.
