People buy houses all the time they can’t afford. Hidden costs, thinking taxes and insurance won’t shoot up, depending on the size might cost and arm and a leg to heat/cool.
There’s even a term called “house poor” when you buy a house but don’t have the money to furnish it so you just have big empty rooms.
You said the house was ruining you but that’s not true. What’s ruining you is the condition of the contract you accepted in order to obtain said house. The meme is about selfish parents pulling the ladder up. Not conditions set on an individual that is subject to them alone.
Sounds like it’s a problem with inheritance. Not owning a home.

Which is relevant to the meme that was posted.

I never stated that the house is ruining me.
I said:
The meme is about pulling up the ladder behind them.
You got a ladder installed and they bolted it to your house.
Keep moving those goal posts for whatever bewildering reason you have.
The situation would only be pulling up the ladder if their parents had inherited the house themselves.
The situation? Are you talking of your house or the meme? The meme is 100% about ladder pulling. You did not get the ladder pulled from under you.
I don’t have a house, and the meme is not ladder pulling unless there’s more information about the parents in that situation.
