[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, you cared for your abusive dad but won't help your mom out for a few months. Your mom, who raised you and likely shielded you from your dad's abuse?  Sounds like you're blaming her for your dad's actions, which is pretty crappy.[/quote]

my grandmother raised me and when she passed, [b]I basically raised myself.[/b] My mom has always attached to men. I love my mom dearly and talk to her everyday, [b]but she has some bad qualities[/b] and I'm nervous about bringing it into our home.  [/quote]

You were the end-of-life caretaker for your abusive alcoholic father but your mom nags about watering your plants so she should stay out of your home in her time of need.

Okay.[/quote]
To be fair to the OP, it sounds like it was a time of true need for the dad, but it's more of a convenience for mom.  OP could very well be willing to have mom stay if it's an end-of-life situation or if mom was completely out of money.  Here, mom is presumably healthy and could afford an apartment, so I think it's unfair of you to expect OP to treat the two situations exactly the same.[/quote]
