I got divorced 2 yrs ago and moved in with my mom. My son who is now 4 lives with us. My charged me $50 a week. I think that is high but whatever. She usually work full time day shift. I work part time in the evenings. She usually helps with my son. She had surgery 3 weeks ago and has been unable tobhelp with my son. She also told me she would need my help around the house. She precooked meals but would need help with other stuff. I have been trying to help but it's been rough.
Last night my son was with his dad. So for the first time in a few weeks I got to go out. My mom was having a bad pain day and asked me to stay to help her. I declined. I am sorry but not really. I need a break too. I need to drink. Well after a few hours I got a call from my aunt that my mom wasn't doing good and needed help. Believe me I didn't want to hear it. My brother who lives 2 hrs away went to my mom along with aunt. So she was covered. I decided to get a hotel room so that I didn't have to deal with everything.
So here Inam with 30 mins left enjoying room service.
My mom is begging me for the money I owe. But I feel since I am doing all the work I shouldn't have to pay.
Is my mom using me?

Is this real? You live there, so you're obligated to help out by cleaning your space and helping clean the communal spaces. You use up food, utilities, etc so regardless of how much you "help out" you should still pay something. You're acting like a spoiled child.
You were born an original, don't die a copy.

I feel like the last few weeks she is using and abusing me
She didn't have to let you move in nor allow you to continue living there.
In fact, were I your Mom and unless your attitude about this arrangement changed, I would be giving you a month to clear out.
Be grateful and grow up.

Sounds like a you problem. You live there, so you need to clean up too and pay something to offset what you use in utilities. And unless your mom was abusive as shit, requiring a little extra help while she recovers isn't her using and abusing you.Anonymous 1 wrote: ↑Sun Nov 27, 2022 10:59 amI am an functional adult.

If you think this is oh so terrible, move out and get your own place.

Sounds like the reverse is happening to me.
