[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you sound awful. Your mother worked in manual labor until she couldn't function anymore, physically and mentally, and you feel bad about giving her the occasional $20 or $50? That is just shockingly callous. Cut off your mom? I would not cut off a beggar on the street who had worked their entire life for a meager living and now could no longer physically work.

Awful. You sound just awful OP.[/quote]

Screw you PP. The mom chose to adopt OP, not the other way around. It's possible that given their culture that the mom probably adopted as an 'insurance' for her old age instead of wanting to parent a child out of goodwill.

You wouldn't cut off a beggar? Unless you're actually supporting some degenerates out of your own stupified martyrdom, get off your f***ing high horse. [/quote]

You sound sort of dangerous to interact with PP, but -- the OP's mother is MENTALLY ILL. You can't blame the  mentally ill for their mental illness.

The world needs more people who are able to stand up and be the healthy ones, helping the unhealthy people who can't take care of themselves. This is not a mentally ill person on the street -- the OP has a huge connection to this person, and yes, they do have a moral obligation to help them.[/quote]

Financial exploitation is never ok. What makes you say that the mom is mentally ill?[/quote]

The OP said the woman was too physically decrepit and mentally ill to work any longer. How is it financial exploitation to ask a younger person, capable of working -- WHO IS ALSO YOUR CHILD -- to give you money? That seems totally rational and normal to me. It's also such small amounts of money. Sheesh. There is no parallel universe where people get to be their better selves so they can be uncaring assholes in this one and still consider themselves "good." This is it. Sounds like a person too old and mentally ill to work deserves a hand out. That's not "exploitation" in a civilized society.[/quote]
