It's good that you're moving out- you don't need to be paying all that money to someone who can't even act like a real adult and can't even support herself.
It didn't seem like the two of you had that good of a relationship even before the whole money situation thing came about.
And about what Dad said in his reply to your post- just because she's your mom, doesn't mean that you have to help her out with every single little thing. If it's a situation like this where she's just throwing away money for things she can't afford, then she doesn't deserve any financial help from her children. It's not like she's working her butt at two different jobs and struggling to keep herself from being evicted. If it was the other way around, with a daughter wasting money on things she can't afford and in financial trouble, the mom shouldn't be required to help out the daughter financially. That's just my opinion. Sometimes Dad gets things, but for whatever reason, he just doesn't seem to get that your mother probably doesn't deserve any financial help because of her lifestyle.
Is it normal that my mom makes me pay rent like this?
