| How would you handle this?
My alcoholic mom and I live together but I am not living WITH her. The distinction being we each pay half of everything- more of a roommate situation.
With that said, my mom was laid off in March and has not found a job to date. She is very well educated, always performs well in her jobs and at work is ALWAYS sober. She has been on several interviews but has not been hired yet. She suffers from depression and the 6 months of unemployment have sent her into a tailspin of drinking and sleeping.
Due to the unemployment, she has recently run out of money. I paid half of her rent in August and all of it in September. After a recent drinking episode, I told her I would no longer help her with bills but honestly when I think about that it isn't possible. If all of rent doesn't get paid, I am in trouble as well.
Ideas, thoughts, etc? I am actually buying a place of my own within the next 6 months but until then I am not sure how to handle this...
