Today, I finally realized that the only time my mother talks to me is when she needs money. FML

A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

Today, after months of helping my mother with bills because she claimed she had no money, I found out she makes way more than what I do. She just wanted my money for alcohol and drugs. FML

Today, I told my mom I wasn't doing very good mentally and I was looking for some support. She decided to remind me of all of the things I still haven't paid her back for. I'm now an unpaid loan, not her daughter. FML

Today, my child told me when she makes enough money to support herself, she's never going to speak to me again. FML

Today, I discovered that my mother has been stealing from me to cover her mountain of debt. I’m barely making ends meet as it is. When I confronted her, she had the gall to suggest I get a second job to support her. FML

Today, I found out all the money my dad has been saving in the bank for me since birth has all been spent, by my mother who I haven't seen or talked to in about two years. FML

Today, I learned that now that my mom is dead, and my dad doesn't need my emotional support during her illness anymore, he's going to go back to insulting me every time he talks to me. FML

Today, I called my mother to check up on her. Lately, she's been having some financial problems, so last week I sent her my last $100 to help her out until her next paycheck. She used the money to euthanize the family dog. FML

Today, my mom cleaned out my bank account, saying my "no-good dad" owes her child support and that she'll get it one way or another. FML

Today, I called my mother to say hi. She spent a whole hour and a half complaining about how I never call her, bawling and calling me "a waste of human flesh." I call her at least once a week. FML

This sounds like my life exactly. However, I don't mind giving her money because she always gave me money when I was growing up. Yup, money, food, and beatings.

Be glad of that, my mom talks to me everyday, many times, and its not new stuff she talks about. And its not becouse she has bad memory, she just like to talk alot.

Be happy that your mom still loves you enough to talk to you...

Geez :/ My mom and I talk pretty much every day. It's because we enjoy each other, though. Even when I was living in the same city, working at the same hospital, and even working in the same department, we used to have lunch together and still called each other later in the evening to talk more, lol. It's ok to have a good relationship with your mom! Then again, we do always find something new to talk about, and my mom is seriously one of the most amazing and hilarious people I know :D

She will probably will spend it on Drugs or Alcohol - but then again, bet you're gonna do the same!!

It could be she's spending it on groceries or bills because she doesn't make enough to get by.

Who cares what she is spending the money on? That isn't the point of this post. OP: If the only time she ever talks to you is to mooch, tell her the ATM is shutting down until she decides to be a mother first. it's all well and good to help her out, especially these days, but that should not be her only reason for contacting you. Lay that guilt trip on her and if she is any kind of decent human being, she'll at least attempt to make it up to you. If not, she doesn't deserve to call herself a mother.

Not an uncommon problem, and this is just the easiest way to word it using "today". I think it's legit.
