Why do some people, who have clearly benefited from your help, end up hating you the most? Because when someone has been receiving your help for a long time, their psychology often goes through a process like this: they’re grateful when they get help, they grow used to it and start taking it for granted once they do, and when it keeps coming, they begin to feel it’s only natural. When your contribution is treated as something they’re entitled to, once you stop giving, what they feel isn’t “losing help” anymore—it’s being “deprived” of something that they believed originally belonged to them. More deeply, admitting that they’ve depended on others would hurt the fragile self-esteem of some people, so instead of facing their own lack, they direct their anger at the person who no longer meets their needs. So most of the time, they’re not attacking you as a person—they’re attacking the fact that you’ve taken back the usage right they thought they would always have.
