I am shocked where again: a thread has not gotten the OP the "support" she wanted.

I have been a very poor young mom, alone. Always had animals. If I had the money, or a boyfriend or whatever that was springing for a trip: you would think that there was a firm foundation for love there. I would have explained the situation to him/her and gotten the money to get my own place. I was VERY close to my Mom, but we could not live together.

My DH won a trip to Hawaii just as we were moving into "Grey Acres" here. It is 2.5 acres and he traded the trip for cash (only about 500.00) but we needed it to put toward the $15,000 it was costing to fence the whole property.

As an adult you will face all kinds of tough choices. You have chosen a trip for a few memories, where you could have chosen a place of your own and possably saved your relationship with your Mother. I lost both of my parents way to early. To put the "bit**" in print was taking it to far...

Sorry I just don't see it your way.
May make this "mature" woman a "Bit**" also. But that is ok. I earned that title years ago with my own kids that live on there own and pay their own way.
