Lately: I feel spoiled

There some of parents out there that wouldn't comply with their child moving away from home to ski at a time when most of that childs peers are entering post-secondary education. Even less parents support that decision. Mine have. By no means have I had a lot of success here, but I'd be much worse off if my parents hadn't made moves to help me. Justifying pairs of skis and seasons passes as birthday presents, masking trips to comps as vacations, and paying for pricey car repairs as an early christmas gift, not to mention lending me money when work has gotten skimpy and I can't make rent. I thought the minute I left home that I had entered a world entirely of my own so I'm not sure where I stand on responsibility now. Some unlucky things have happened to me lately and I don't know whether I should shrug them off and pay the consequence or if these unfortunate events are evidence that I need to rethink things and make changes. I hope I can figure this out soon. Thank you to my mother and father for being so kind.
