I moved from home in 2016 and my momma calls me telling me they’re about to turn off her lights. This is such an unfair thing to do to your child unexpectedly. I JUST SENT HER MONEY.

Everyday I try to make decisions that get me closer to financial freedom but damn I’m only one person battling generational conditioning and bad financial practices. What the fuck am I supposed to do?!

I grew up in HUD my entire life. I was on welfare. I had food stamps. I had free lunch and was a latchkey kid. I was raised IN and AROUND poverty and I’m barely with my foot out but this shit just brings me back to those places of uncertainty as a child.

On TOP of suspecting that my mother is walking around with an undiagnosed mental illness and she refuses to get help. I’m the only child. I really don’t understand what the universe is wanting from me at this point, but I am tired.

This is a big reason why I don’t have kids nor want them until I’m financially stable. I can’t have my kids growing up like me. I refuse.

Oh yes. I've had to raise my mama. And everytime the topic of children come up and I say it's selfish to bring children into this world when you can't afford or truly provide for them she gets in her feelings. Yes indeed, you aren't alone.

I just moved out this year & my mama acted as if I betrayed her because I wanted my own space smh. And I cut her off financially but help when I can. All you can do is continue to set your boundaries, despite any emotional manipulation. They gotta learn

My parents lived check to check my whole life with bad financial habits & 4 children. I was determined to not live like that. It’s crazy that they wonder y I work so much. I feel like they don’t get it. I damn sure didn’t want my child picking up those habits
