Bro, my mom tried to friend me on Facebook. Just, no. I only logged in to share a story about a local kidnapped/missing friend. Support Trump, lose your family, fuck off fascists.

I've heard this same issue several times from people who have lost family members to the trump cult. It's sad how misinformation feeds off of mental illness and lead poisoning victims.

So glad my parents got more liberal as they aged. My sister though ...

The mom has been a freeloader all her life, then she demonstrated that she was a lying, demanding, untrustworthy pain in the ass. Her daughter is 100% right not to want anything to do with her.

I almost want updates on this story.

The fuck is this ? An article that summarises a Reddit thread ?

Not if I was making six figures at an ice cream tasting company

Karma is a bitch. Good for that young girl that she refuses to put up with that bullshit right away. The mother should have been nicer to their kid.

Piss poor title.

Based on the title I'd say let the mom move in, she raised you. Help her out.

But reading the article tells me,do not let her move in. She moved in with brother and didn't watch the kids as the agreement stated. Plus created problems in the marriage.

Yeah I'd tell her if she needs help hit the welfare office.

Fun fact : in many states in the US if you let her move in, the welfare office won't help her on housing assistance because the welfare office will look at her income plus your income. Which means she has to much money coming in to get help, and now she can't move out.

How is it a poor title? It's literally the situation. Just because someone who raised you needs help doesn't mean you need to. They chose to have kids it's their responsibility to raise them or give them up to someone who would provide more than the basics. If right at 18 you consider yourself done with them then expect them to do the exact same thing.
