Since I was 3 Ive lived with my grandma and aunt due both parents being hooked on drugs and alcohol causing that. But Now that I’m 26 I have a on and off relationship with my mom but now it seems as though the only time she’s wanting to be in touch is when she needs money. As for my dad he calls once a year at least sometimes not.

Growing up I was always told to forgive my parents and told “my mom is still my mom” but my question to y’all is when is it time for someone in my situation to say enough is enough?

My mom got mad at me for not sending her 20 bucks quick enough and the only reason I help is because she’s recently got diagnosed with cirrhosis and liver failure. I send her money when she asks for it for food and small things she’s needs but I never know if it’s for other things since we only communicate over phone. I just don’t know what to do anymore. It Sucks to not have stable parents in my life but do I keep forgiving and helping when I feel like I’m just being used????
