They're still your parents anyway, you need to find peace with yourself eventually. Too much negativity is eating you from inside.
If you can move out & live on your own, do it. Then, if you can afford it, send some money back to your parents & let them do whatever they want with it. That's the least you could do as a child.
What's the prospect of growing your freelance work? It sounds good enough to sustain you, so there might be opportunity to grow it further. If you can grow your freelance work further, then you can be more independent & live wherever you want. There are some popular freelancer platforms for Malaysian I think, internationally there's Fiverr.
TLDR: The idea is to be able to sustain yourself so that you can move out & live on your own. I understand it may be a chicken & egg situation, but gotta start from somewhere. When you've mentally recovered & doing a bit better financially, send a bit of money to your parents every month. Even RM50 will do if you can afford it.

QUOTE(Redshelf411 @ Jun 20 2021, 03:58 PM) Why should I send money to my parents when all they do is to use it to gamble and waste it on things they do not need? I won't be an enabler of someone else's bad habits. It's supposed to make you less angry. But if it doesn't, then just move on to the independent part.

QUOTE(Redshelf411 @ Jun 20 2021, 04:09 PM) I don't know how or where you get the idea that was angry at what you said. Perhaps read better so you can understand better. Thanks for the advise anyway. You're not feeling angry, frustrated, upset, disappointed etc at your parents?

QUOTE(Redshelf411 @ Jun 20 2021, 06:16 PM) Used to... Okay perhaps my response came across as passive aggressive, and I am sorry if it comes across that way. But there's certainly negative sentiments towards the way my parents are. Also, the point still stands. You don't give money to gamblers or people who waste it on things they don't need. That's why I mentioned why should I give money to my parents, which you have explicitly said in your previous reply. Don't enable vices that will destroy people. I am still looking into ways if I can travel over to WM w/o having to apply for all that paper works. Ahh ok, you sounded pretty upset from your first post  You can still move out & live within the same town if you can sustain yourself from your freelance works. If your freelancing work is generating enough income, just move & be independent. Work on growing it & all this troubles will be a minor thing in your past.
