[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks everyone. Your answers make me feel so much better. I was feeling like a horrible person for even considering drifting away. I should clarify that my mom wasn't abusive or anything like that. Just made a lot of irresponsible decisions, didn't model healthy relationships, etc. [/quote] I'm in a similar boat. My mother was irresponsible in many ways (relationships, money, not taking me to a dentist until too late and I my teeth were all rotten). As an adult I drifted away from her and stopped giving her money two years ago, when my second child was born. I was really resentful that I was taking money away from what could have been my kids' saving accounts to give to someone so irresponsible with money. Told her "I have two kids to support on one salary, and they are my priority now". She gets a pension and she has no savings, despite the fact that she and her husband made decent money.[/quote]
