Her entire life, she’s known that her mom has had problems with money, and she was always living paycheck to paycheck.
Her mom has no money saved, and surprisingly, over the last couple of months, her mom has been increasingly reaching out to her, wanting money.
Her mom stated that she knows that she’s well-off before mentioning that she really does need financial help.
“She’s in a lot of debt and possibly could lose her house,” she said. “She said she asked my dad for money, and he refused.”
“I asked her why she doesn’t ask her husband (she’s remarried, but they don’t live together because she refuses to let him move in; whole other story). She started going off on me, saying that’s her business and she’s asking me, not him.”
She then reminded her mom that she didn’t treat her nicely at all when she was younger and that they really don’t have a relationship, so she can’t understand why her mom wants money from her.
Her mom tried to say she’s done a lot for her when she was a kid, so she kind of owes her now.
Since that conversation, her mom has told more members of their family about how she won’t give her any money.
These family members are hounding her to give her mom money because they believe it’s a good thing for her to do.
“Even my brother has been telling me how that’s so cold that I refuse to help her because, financially, I’m in a good place,” she continued.
“…My mom could possibly lose her house, but I feel like that’s not my responsibility, and I’m being taken advantage of if I say yes.”
