25 and still at home...

Okay so I don't know where to start but here we go. I am a 25 year old, hard working young professional still living at home. I've read a few posts on this but my situation is a little different.
I left my old life, girlfriend, and dead end job about 5 years ago to move to a new province. I'm happy about the move because it changed my life around for the better. Quit doing drugs found a respectable job. But now I've been supporting both my mother and step father for the better part of those years. They are both capable of working, their just lazy or un motivated I'm not sure.
So.. Because things have been tight financially my social life is virtually non existent. Being that we're in a new province I left all my friends behind also. So I have been basically doing nothing except working. I'd really like to move out but I don't want to leave them stranded with nothing. I get treated and told that I act like I'm 12, even though I am the one who gets up and goes to work everyday. I hand over my pay checks completely and never expect anything from it and yet I'm still disrespected..
My step father tells me I need to do something with my life, that I could never succeed on my own and I feel like their the problem. I'm never allowed to go out after work, not allowed to make any friends and a constant liar. I've been flirting with this girl at work and I would love to ask her out (not to get my dick wet) she's a good girl but I feel like it's just out of the question because of my life. It wouldn't be fair to bring her in to my situation. But it's not fair to me because I'm putting my whole life on hold for them. It's getting to the point where I just wanna leave for work one morning and never go back. I feel like their taking advantage of me and their not even trying to make the situation any better.
So my question is bloggers, is this normal? What should I do..

    Time to grow up and move on: you're being a doormat for people who don't appreciate or respect you. On the other hand, if you want your life to continue as it is, stay where you are.

    What's this about they don't let you do things? Are you tied up or have a gun at your head?

    Move out of that place and then you'll find peace.

    You will be loved and respected more if you are selfish. Get the hell out of there.

    This is one of those cases of just because they're family, it doesn't mean you have to help them. Go and never look back.

    You sound like a very responsible hard working young man, hard working is a fairly rare quality that cannot be tought, I respect family but in this case they don't deserve your respect/support, tell them to fuck off(not literally) and get out of there, they are holding you back and the lazy fucks don't deserve your company or a cent of your money, you could probably own a house of your own soon, do you make good money? Either way get out man!!!!!!!!

    You won't be doing anything selfish to walk away from that situation. You're being taken advantage of, and on top of that abused. They're adults and they aren't ill, but even if they were ill u shouldn't have to put up with their bullshit. Leave & live your life. Enjoy yourself while u can.You won't get many chances in this life to be happy, trust me. And stop handing all your money over to them! Keep your earnings and LEAVE!

    You actually sound as if you're a little afraid to leave them to me (reading between the lines) and that's OK. It's all right to fear things in life & I'm not judging u for it, but u need to get over that fear & take charge of ur situation.

    If something happens to them later on, u may need money to put them in a nursing home, so u need to have ur savings stacked. I understand that u love them, but u need to ask urself if u want to continue being verbally/emotionally abused by them instead of having a life of ur own.

    The problem is NOT them, it's YOU. You say that you are not allowed to do this or that? Wake the fuck up you fucking moron! You ARE a twelve year old. What grown woman would ever have anything to do with you? This whole situation is your fault. You are pathetic! Now that I got some basic truths out about you, please listen: Your parents are not your responsibility. You deserve to live your own life. Tell your step pop to go fuck himself and set off on your own. You got a car, right? Live in the motherfucker if you have to for a bit. Dude, you're a grown man. You can handle that. Pack your shit and get out of that house. Now! Stop fucking around and live your life.

    You need to cut ties with them. They are dragging you down. They are making you lose out on life. You will be much better on your own and they need to learn to take care of themselves. It's not like they are in their 60s.
