Topic: What am i supposed to do about all of this?

Anonymous A started this discussion 12 years ago #38,518

Me and my mom have a weird relationship. It is almost as if i am married to her even though saying it brings me shivers. We both work but she spends both of our money. Sure she buys the expensive food and cigarettes that i enjoy and also the money goes to rent.

If i stop this and finally gain some financial independence, it will come at a great cost, she will see me as someone who has stopped loving her. I also do not know if i would be strong enough for the task, i would have to say no to her when she begs me for money because she spent all of her money on alcohol, cigarettes and junk food. So i am wondering if there even exists a justification for all of it, because to finally become free, i must watch her die slowly in poverty.

There is nothing wrong with living with your mother: in most cultures, it is normal. Just talk to her, adult-to-adult, and set some basic ground rules.

I think the idea of me even making rules would be unacceptable to her. She would use guilt and shame on me all the time

That depends. If you're providing for your mother by paying the mortgage/rent, nursing her back to health, or something altruistic like that, that's normal. If you just moved in because you couldn't find a good job, it's pathetic.
