I think my mom is lying, need advice.

I wasn’t sure where to post this but I just need some general advice on something that’s been really bothering me. I’m 25and I live with my boyfriend who’s in the military (so nowhere near either family).

My mom’s always been bad with money- I remember moving a few times as a kid, and eventually my grandparents stepped in and bought my mom a condo for her to rent from them. For several years, they were really lenient about rent- I don’t know how often my mom was late or didn’t pay, but in the past year, I learned that it happened all of the time. Last year, she stopped paying my grandparents altogether, but she tells a completely different story (that they needed to pay off some debts and wanted to sell her home and didn’t care about what happened to her). In April, she got notice that she was going to be evicted, and eventually found somewhere to live with reasonable rent, room for me to come and have somewhere to stay if I visit, etc.

She also had an issue with buying a new car last year- said that there was something broken that needed replacing and that the dealership wanted her to pay $4000 to fix it, but I feel like she might not have been making payments... she ended up selling the car back to the dealer. Then right before she was almost evicted, she got a new car (older, lower payment, etc)...

Today she calls and tells me that she was part of the Equifax hack, and that her bank account was compromised and because of that, her rent didn’t go through, phone bill didn’t go through, etc., and her landlord told her that if she doesn’t pay by Saturday, he’s evicting her...? If she was only late on this month, that would seem extreme, but I feel like maybe she hasn’t been paying... I don’t know what to say or do, but my instinct is telling me that she’s not telling me the truth. I don’t know why, and I know I should trust my mom, but I also know she’s done this in the past... and she has a decent job- she makes over $60k per year... so I guess I’m also just worried because I don’t know what her money is going to.

I’m sorry if this is long and shouldn’t have been posted here, I posted it on anonymous, and some people post much, much, much worse than this. I guess I’m just wondering if I should try to ask her what’s really going on, and how to approach that, because I don’t think she’ll actually open up and tell me.
