    Hi there! As said by others bailing your mum out isnt helping her - effectively you are enabling her to continue the way she is by doing so...hard I know & am sure that we've all been there at the other end & would have done anything to get away from the panick! Another thing is that you are not responsible for your mother (though of course you love her & want to help!) and she is an adult. I think you need to have a chat, tell her you love her & will support her to sort things out of she wants your help but that you cannot give her anymore money...then take a loving step back & rant on here when she drives you to distraction. Iknow this muct be really hard but your mum is an adult & has to take responsibility....big hugaroos!
