To begin, I have always had a problem with money(one of the effects of being poor) and not having boundaries due to my subdued personality. I have working on that through therapy and introspection. I have been doing well for a couple of years but last week when my mother asked me for money. I have come to realize how emotionally manipulative she can be.

I can't believe I fell for my mother lies. I stupidly gave her $400 because she said that she was desperate. She claimed that her co-worker was bothering her because my mother owed her money. I should've seen through her ruse and stuck with my boundary. Now when I ask her when are you going to pay me back, my mother tell me to stop disrespecting and harassing her even though I sent a text message and a FB message. At this point, I am completely emotionally drained from this. I will look back at this moment as the straw the broke the camel's back (the camel being me) and learn from this. I cut off my Father and now it's time for me to cut my Mother too.

I truly believe that I no longer have a relationship with anybody in my family.
