It's not really normal, but for a woman who feels alone it's normal. After my parents got divorced she started spending a lot of money. Even the money she got from child support because of me. She stopped when she realized how bad it actually was for her economy and for me. She started painting art instead and now she actually sells her paintings from 1000 to 4000$ a piece. Make her do something where she feels more appreciated. I swear to god it will help.
Eh... actually... ^^;;;
She has plenty of "hobbies", jewelry making and such. But we can't even get her out of the house. She's also a pill head, by the way. She is on a lot of medications and has a lot of illnesses because she doesn't care for her health. She hates leaving the house and driving and whatever she does make, she HAS to keep.
Well, then it's not much that I can say. Have you tried taking her to something like a psychologist? And I'm sorry to say this, but if she uses "illegal" pills or drugs I would actually call the police. They can (if it's really bad) force her to go to rehab. I know it's tough to do something like that to your own mother. But maybe that's the best way to go. Good luck, and I wish you and your family the best in the future.
She's not using illegal drugs, they are all legal. She goes from doctor to doctor and her healthcare system does not keep tabs on what she is doing v.v
Are my Mom's spending habits normal and should I give her my money?

In other words, we've tried that route v.v
