Weve been broke our whole lives, my dad was never in the picture and it was me my little brother and older sister. Ive never thought to hold it against my mom though i always thought that she was trying her best to provide for us. But shes never had a job and we live off government money, section 8, ebt, etc, and now that im 16, ive felt a real need to get a job, hustle, do anythign i can to make money n ive been giving my mom a couple 100 every month but it never seems to help out my mom. yesterday for christmas i got socks and candy, similar presents for my siblings. i was fine with this but my mom seemed very sad. she said how this year was hard and i said to be greatful for what we have and that atleast we are alive. she then tells me that there are worst things than being dead, insinuating that our situation was worse than being dead, my close freind passed away a month ago and that comment hurt me alot. i told her that i know its sucks we dont have much, but yk you could try working or finding a job. ive told her this a couple of times throughout the past months that ive been getting money and she always says no or that its too much or tell her about it another time. This time though she begins to argue with me, saying how im always reminding her how she has no money. i tell her that its never to remind her, i try to find jobs she could do and explain them to her so it isnt confusing or difficult but she still doesnt care, i explain that im just trying to help her make her own money, the same way i try to make money to give to her. she tells me that i dont have to be doing that and she doesnt need the money. but she does. and ive felt very stressed now getting older and realizing how bad we have it. she tells me to not stress and that she never asked me to help her out that it was on me. i tell her that as her child i WANT to help her and get her a new house and make her and our lives better. she then tells me that she doesnt feel the same. and that shes happy where she is in life and i can do whatever i want to do with mine. that she doesnt want to try at all to work or to do anything to provide for us anymore than what she already is doing.ive never realized this was her mindset, i love her so much and everyday i try finding a way to make money to help her out, i dont live an expensive lifestyle or show off on social media, it all goes to her. this argument has really led me to overthink my life and what i want to do with it. Do i stop giving her money every month? i know that she needs it. Do i move out and make a good lifestyle for myself and not look back? all these past months my motivation has been my mom and doing this all for her. and she simply doesnt care for it. i honestly dont know what to do with my life lol. at the end of the day i was to be able to enjoy my last years of childhood without this overhwhelming feeling that my mom doesnt care at all. do i just give up on that idea?😭 New user pass phrase: Today is a good day to learn
