[quote=Anonymous]My mom always had a serious shopping problem. Like not being able to leave her home(s) or go anywhere without returning with something purchased. It was pretty bad.

Up until like 15 years ago she'd even do stuff like lose money in Atlantic City and then strong arm sell me something I didn't really need so she could replace the cash before my stepfather figured it out. I did that for her more than a few times. I didn't it "because she's my mom" etc. and she always told me I was her best friend and so on.

I got tired of being that best friend. She also was doing all this stuff without ever sending gifts or things for my kids because I needed to "visit her" for them to get the things.

When there was a flood at her place and things got ruined she got angry with me because I never picked up the things that were ruined. I DID NOT BUY THEM.

I got tired of it. She's in assisted living near my sister who clearly hopes to inherit everything she has left, if there is ever anything left. I'm not flying across the country to cater to her anymore. My sister can do that.
