We all need someone we can lean on when life takes an unexpected turn. For many, that support comes from family. After her divorce, Reddit user FlowerPowerPuff96 thought her mother could help her get back on her feet.
But the more the woman worked on herself, the more her mom seemed to knock her down. Eventually, she ended up paying the bills, handling the house, and dealing with constant pressure to stay dependent. And when she started dating, her mom’s behavior only worsened.
