Is it normal that i only became financially independent at 22?

I became 100% financially independent and had my own place by the time I was 22 (last year). On the other hand I was 100% dependent up until that point. My parents are divorced and I was really only dependent on my father and actually my mother had stolen money from me(she gave it back last year). However I have not spoken with my father since I was 20 because he abused my mother physically and is violent in general and never expressed remorse or willingness to change (he actually claims those things never happened). Did I act as an over-entitled brat to be dependent between 18-22, especially to someone that I was not close with anymore? Do you think I should reimburse my father?

    lool don't reimburse the douche. nowadays getting a home and a good job is so much harder than in the past and there are so many kids dependent on their parents who can be even older than you.

    Unless you've got upwards of 10-20 million sitting around, you should invest in some education for yourself and think in the long term.

    Invest your money well and spend it sparingly, it goes quick!

    Give it back to father? I don't really know the details but it sounds like you should keep it.
