Quoted By:
I moved out of my mother's place and within weeks of me doing that she got in a car wreck. (it was the other guy's fault, he drove off immediately) She was okay physically but had already gone through a bunch of financial shit before that and was a wreck herself. Despite me having my own place, I've been living with her so she can borrow my car and at this point she almost always has it when I'm not at work now. When I told her I was going to catch up with some mates she started bawling and emotionally manipulating me to stay "home". This was after weeks of me being isolated in a house I no longer lived in. It sucks because she has a tendency for manipulating me but at the same time she really is a wreck right now, so I have to balance being there for her to pick her feet up and putting my foot down occasionally when she goes out of line. She has the money now for another car and after I sent her some links to a new vehicle, she's going to a dealership in a few days. I guess the moral of my rambling is, be there for your family but also be vigilant and don't let yourself be exploited.
