Go fund me not

Today, I discovered that, according to her primary doctor, my mom never had cancer. That explains why she has the new iPhone, a plethora of designer purses, and a brand new Tesla. Turns out, I’ve been fueling her shopping spree habit, rather than her “cancer and chemotherapy treatments.” FML

And eventually mom will learn the moral of “The Boy Who Cried Wolf”… The most charitable interpretation is that there was a time when she thought she had cancer and then when she saw how it made others sympathetic and wanting to help she just milked it for all it was worth. (There was a Seinfeld episode about that.)… Now you know Mom’s nature - Don’t enable her any more! The probability is that no matter what you or her say, you are never seeing a dollar of that money back. But don’t throw good money after bad.

You spent on the order of $100,000 without ever visiting your mom or accompanying her to her chemo treatments? Seems like a small price to pay for being such a shit son.

she probably financed the car so he probably didn't spend anything near that.

I wouldn’t have worded it this way, but I was kind of thinking the same thing. There’s LOTS of doctors visits and documentation and details that accompany something that serious. Granted she’s likely a VERY good liar, but it’s still strange that you wouldn’t accompany her to a single appointment or chemo treatment. Still, FYL, OP. It’s gotta hurt being taken advantage of that badly by a parent.

Can you document this? Because you can sue the shit out of her if you can.

That is just messed up in so many ways. I always hear about people cutting parents out their lives and think to myself what could they have done. Well now I know because that would make me cut my mother out my life....
