Growing up, i looked up to her and how she was a single mom who provided for her kids without much help. Me and my sister’s dads hardly paid child support and she refused to take them to court. My grandparents helped financially but my grandpa usually expected pay back. My uncles helped her and didn't expect pay back bt she always paid them anyways. Her parents were mentally and physically abusive to her as a kid but because she's all for “honoring thy parents” she gave them half of her tax refund checks. Im talking big amounts! She always criticized them for using her but now i think she's using people. I made maybe $14k from college and she's spent over half of that (the other i used for travel expenses and stuff and feel stupid that i didn't save better.) Anyways, 4 years later and its gotten worse. she's 45 and single. Been single since like 38. At the time her boyfriend lived with us for like 8 years and she paid all the bills and he barely helped. She even bought him a car and we barely had a good car ourself. They broke up like 2012. As of last November, She was just hooking up with an old school crush for a few months and he gave her big amounts of money for free. She started off saying, “I can't take this” and sometimes offered to pay him back. But he constantly said “no u dont have to.” So she started getting used to receiving the money. Then on their last date (like 3 months later), he jokingly asked her “Did you bring your half to pay?” And she responded, “Oh if thats the case we can go home rn.” Then when he broke up with her some days later, she was like, “dang i hate i didn't get more money before he left.” Also, she's been taking more than half my checks from my last jobs. I gave set amounts for bills, but she came back to collect the rest later. As of yesterday, im completely broke and jobhunting. See, i think she may have recently shifted to gold digger because I've never heard my mom talk like that all my 22 years
