I was incredibly bitter too when my parents left me hanging and I had to pay for most of tuition and rent. But then I realized lots of people pay for their own education. I certainly didn't achieve the impossible.

Think of your stepdad's stance as tough love and motivation.

I am not bitter in the slightest, I'm just astounded that so many people expected their parents to pay for their college (and in turn expect to pay for their adult offspring's education). Simply put, it doesn't compute.
