<prompt> Human: Over the past three and a quarter months, I have been helping my mother financially due to her situation. Let me put things in context. I graduated college in May of 2018 and in January, I ordered a hotel room for my mom to stay during graduation. In May, my mom told me that she didnt have sufficent funds to pay for the hotel room and asked me if I can give her about 740 US dollars. So I agreed. Given that I occasionally helped my mom out financially during college, I didnt thought any different.After my college graduation ceremony, we head back home and thats when things get frustrating. My mom was struggling with unemployment, underemployment, and a depleted savings account. So from May to now early August, I have been financially helping out my mom by giving her my money. I started with about 11,300 in early May and now early August I am about 3,100 and I am expected to be down to 2,500 next week since my mom has a mortgage payment to attend to.I am currently unemployed and I would feel very guilty and frustrated when my mom ask me for money. At one hand, I dont want to be inconsiderate to my moms needs, at the other hand I dont want to sacrifice my financial well-being just to keep my mom afloat. To me, she is an adult longer than I have and should be capable of taking care of her finances. I am unsure if she is manipulating me since I am her only child and she is a single parent.I have read other threads on this subreddit about giving a parent financial help and overall the impression I got was that I shouldnt help my mom for too long. That said, she raised me all by herself and supported me when adults and my child peers ignored and avoided me. This is so difficult, I feel so much pain from giving my mom all of that money. I felt like I did something very wrong. She is currently leasing a SUV something I dont approve of, is paying off a finance plan for kitchen appliances, and is currently living as if she is paycheck to paycheck.Please help. Im tired of this bullsht. I know my mom loves me and is there for me in tough situations, but this is becoming a nightmare___TLDR: I am an only child of a single mom, and my Ive been supporting my mom for over three months. She promised to stop asking me for money by the end of this week, but I am skeptical. I honestly dont know what to do.Assistant: It isnt inconsiderate to decline other peoples requests that you give them money.Just say no, your mom is an adult, she doesnt need your approval to buy an SUV, just the consequences if she cant afford it.Human: Huh? Explain the consequences please.  <response>: The consequences of her not paying on her SUV is they come and take it back.
