[quote=Anonymous]No way. My mother is extremely controlling and uses money to make people do what she wants and to buy people back after abuse. Sometimes after one of her more horrendous episodes, after she's spent a month screaming and yelling about how she's right and I'm whatever, she'll mail a check with a note saying she "noticed" that X or Y or Z item of my daughter's is subpar and that I know she is always happy to help since we can't afford whatever thing (we're fine, actually). I have a form letter I use when returning her checks. I always void the check and attach it. It basically says that as an adult I have my own budget. With some people gifts are weapons and you never want what they give. I don't think any adult should be taking anything from her parents unless it's an emergency. Maybe I'd feel different if I wasn't raised by a monster. [/quote]
