When my dad died, I became very good friends with my mom, helping her go through the grief period with grace. When my boyfriend left me and I was heartbroken, she also helped me go through the heartbreak with the heart of a soldier.

Somewhere along the line, this man came into her life and I thought the man wasn’t good for her. He would disappear for no reason. He would come back and not give my mom any explanation or a dime. He would feed on the little things I bought for her, and at some point, I believed my mom was giving him the money I gave her.

Nothing I said made sense to my mom. She kept going on and off with this man. When I suggested the man might be married, hence the disappearing act, this woman got so angry and asked if I was for her happiness or against it. I decided not to talk about him again since it made her that uncomfortable. Plus, she was mature enough to know what was good for her.

The man disappeared again, this time for a very long time. I decided to move my mom from where she was living to somewhere close to me. I paid for a new place, decorated the space, and moved her in. We were once again happy. She would come to my place when she was bored and we spent whole weekends together, cooking and being the friends we had always been.

Out of nowhere, this man appeared again after many months away. I don’t know what he told my mom but she took him back and brought him to live with her. She thought I was going to speak up. I could see she was ready for me but I didn’t say anything. I went on playing my role as a daughter. When she needed money, I gave her something. When I saw something I thought she would need, I bought it for her.

Currently, her rent is due and she’s looking to me to renew it for her. She hasn’t asked me directly to pay but she has hinted at it in long conversations for me to know she’s telling me something. I’ll never pay that rent for her to continue housing that irresponsible man who brings nothing to the table. If push comes to shove and the landlord decides to evict her, I will sit and watch how she would handle it.

My Wife Has The Spiritual Powers To Detect Cheating

If I don’t qualify to talk about her love life, then I don’t qualify to pay her rent, or am I being hardheaded? She’s happy with the man so they should be able to move wherever they want as long as my money isn’t involved. I hope I’m not being wicked?
