My mum has lived in poverty since before I can remember, she never has money but doesn't work out of personal choice. She asks me for money at least once per week, this week I gave her £20 and told her to not ask me for any more money, bearing in mind I'm currently on mat leave pay, and now it's the end of the week she's asked me for another £10 (which I haven't given). I'm getting really annoyed now, it's just constant, she guilt trips me by telling me she has no food and that she's hungry etc. I have my own bills, family and I do not need another bill, she's now became a financial burden. It's really stressing me out

My mum did this. I stopped replying.

If she’s capable of working then offer to help her find a job or else she will have to find another way to receive money besides you
