I 27m and my mother 51f have had our ups and downs and I've come here to ask if it's time to cut her out of my life for good or if there is something that can be done to fix our relationship. This is a long one but I'll try to keep it as short as possible. The first issues started while I was sitting my exams for school. I always knew my mother liked to gamble but there came a day where she asked me for money to cover the mortgage and other bills (£3000). I was so focussed on studying that I gave her the money without much thought. She paid me back over time bit by bit. Fast forward to results day and I got great results! She told me that in a weeks time we'd go shopping and she wanted to buy me a watch or some form of jewellery so that I would have something of a reward for my good results. The day came where we were meant to go shopping and after I was ready to go she said we couldn't go because she didn't have any money. Later that same evening she again asked for money to cover bills. Again not wanting my mother to worry about bills etc I gave in and covered the bills (several thousands of pounds again). It was around this time that my step father confessed to me that he had been looking through my mothers bank statements and had seen that thousands of pounds was getting deposited into gambling websites. We staged a form of intervention and she stopped for a while. Fast forward a few years and my great grandparents died (my mothers grandparents). At this point she started to drink more and more. At the time of writing this, whenever I tell her I'm coming over to visit she asks that I bring her booze. Not long after the heavy drinking started, the gambling followed. As of today l've had my own house for 2 years and have been living with my fiancee for about 4 years. We have a beautiful baby girl who is about 18 months old. Upon finding out that my partner and I were expecting, my mother went all out buying so many things for our baby. We both told her how grateful we were but that she didn't need to spend any money like that on us or our baby. Again, not long after spending money on our baby my mother then begins asking for more money. At this point I have began lying to my mother making it seem that my partner and I are struggling financially (we are not rich by any means but we live a comfortable life within our means), just so that I can tell my mother we don't have the money to bail her out again. My partner and are getting married in the summer and wedding preparations are well underway. My mother was insistent on wearing a white dress that cost several thousands of pounds. I had an argument with her telling her that nobody is to wear white given that it's a wedding and my bride will be the only one in white on the day. My mother is still really annoyed at this and has commented about how 'she is taking my boy away from me' and will often make comments to myself, fiancée or other family members, which I address and call out whenever I hear. My mother was my rock when I was younger, she was a single mum for years and I'm very grateful for everything she has done for me and everything she sacrificed for me. That is right up until the first time she asked for money. I still resent how much stress she put me through. I, along with other family members, have suggested therapy/ counselling for the issues that she has (I believe that she is a gambling addict and possibly alcoholic) but she outright refuses any sort of help. Do you guys think that there is any hope to reconcile the relationship that we once had or is it perhaps time to cut her out of my life? Side note-As I mentioned she was a single mum for a long time while I was younger, I haven't seen or spoken to my 'father' since I was about 11 years old so perhaps l'm clinging onto the idea of still having a relationship with my mother to avoid having no parents in my life. Any thoughts, comments and advice would be welcomed. If you made it this far thanks for reading guys. TLDR;Mums a bitch when is enough, enough?
