So my mom calls me last week and asks to borrow a 100 bucks.

A little background on mother...

She makes at least 1000 a week

She owes 100 grand in credit card debt and is about to lose her house

She's an alcoholic who's been diagnosed w/ Major depression and OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder)

which lets her...

Use FMLA when she's too hungover to go into work so really, she'll prolly never lose her job unless she gets locked up for a long period of time, but she's totally using the FMLA to her advantage.

Ok fuck, truth is, I could go on and on about her, but what's the use? Anyway... she went and wrote out 2500 in bad checks last weekend at the casino and this isn't the first time she's done this. She's been doin' this for years on top of years sicne I was a baby... spends every damn cent she makes up at that fuckin' casino and then comes and cries the blues to us (me, my little sister, and my grams) like we're supposed to just give her money and make everything better. What I really wanna say to her is, "Bitch, we could all own BMW's and nice houses w/ all the money you've blown at that fuckin' casino." I hate her, but I love her, I just don't know how to tell my own flesh and blood to fuck off. She needs to learn a lesson though, not everyone is gonna be here for her to use when she's in a bind. Today she calls and asks to borrow a 100 more cuz she's outta beer and smokes.

I'm sick of it, but how can I tell her no? She's my mom for christ sakes, I love her. Anybody else have this problem?

Just be honest and up-front with her. Sit her down and have a serious talk with her and tell her how you feel, and let her know that you aren't going to continue acting the way you have been towards her and that she needs to change. If not for herself, than for you, your sis and your grandma...

Fuck yeah she needs an intervention... I've tried the talks, she's been in treatement... never completed it though. Everything is a lost cause w/ her... I just wish I could pick up my shit and move far away.

I have tried the tough love though, but I think its more hard on me than it is her... I just can't say no, my heart wont let me, though I know I'm not doin' her any good by givin' in, but damn, its hard with someone you love and care so much about...

sounds like she needs an 'Intervention'.. hit up A&E

Yeah I was just about to say call up A&E.



What you can try to do is when and if you can get a moment of clarity with her, have her go to the Casino and put herself on the "not allowed" list.

I am too lazy to google, but as I understand it, every casino has a mandatory system whereby people can "ban" themselves from entering.

A few of my boys who had gambling problems did that to themselves at all the casinos they were getting raped at.

Really? Never knew such a list existed. Good idea. LOL, I'm sure she's already on that list by now... I know she's not allowed in Mystic Lake Casino anymore for writing bad checks and bringing alcohol on the premises, but I dunno about Hinckley. Does she have to put herself on this list? Cuz I'm sure that's gonna be pretty much impossible.

Yeah the more money you give her the more your enabling her...
True that, I know I aint doin' her no good, but its hard to say fuck off mom, don't want anything to do w/ ya, yer a fuckin' loser who works for nothing. And she begs... that's the worst part about it. I could ignore her, but then I have no relationship w/ my mother or I could give her what she wants and let her continue, continue, continue, until she sucks me dry too like she did the old man. Its a lose lose situation I guess, just sucks...

tell your mom sound dude on siccness.net said step her addiction game up and then hand her a laoded crack pipe
No cuz for real... that would be just another addiction for her to kick cuz I swear she'd light that shit.

Found out she was doin' coke w/ my ex... she only stayed on it for like 7 months, but still, she's a stupid bitch... with an addictive personality. She's got enough addictions... don't need her doin' crack too now, lol...
