Topic: Paying half of rent for mommy

Anonymous A started this discussion 1 year ago #120,093

After all, I am living in my mom's house. I thought this would be a great way to help her financially without my wallet suffering too much, in top of this I also walk her dog.

Thing is though, she's alcoholic and nobody in the family seems to understand what I'm doing for our mother and least of all my mom.

You're helping her buy BOOZE. You're an Enabler.

She'd booze just as much without my help, except maybe half starving while at it.

Chain her to a radiator to stop her drinking.

No, here's the most fucked up thing, she then in return helps other family members out.

Nha I'm just going to start looking for a place. It's just weird how I always get into fucked up scenarios. One after another, it's like I'm cursed.

What's wrong with paying half of the rent? You live there

That's not what's wrong lol. I even said so myself what you are saying. Sometimes kook, sometimes.

The problem is that I don't really want to live there, I could find something way cheaper and nicer. But I worry about how she's going to suddenly pay half the rent. Might be ugly scenarios like eviction.

How much do you pay in rent?

@previous (Kook !!rcSrAtaAC)

Well I pay half of it, around 700

@previous (A)
Is she hard to live with? 700 is not very expensive

As a man who should have his own home, yeah it's hard. Just going to say that.

Families should live together. That's the natural way. The modern, American way of everyone splitting up and living in totally different houses, even in the same town, is so unnatural and cold.

I think you might like Thailand. I've heard families live together there big time, not just grandparents or siblings.

That's most of the Middle and Far East. I think it's a superior way.

Siblings... Parents... Or a partner and maybe even a kid or two?

No, as an adult. We had a multi generational household. It was great
