My mom tried to pull the "I need money for X, I need money for Y" crap with me many many years ago and eventually I broke off all contact with her and told her that the only way I would consider talking to her again was if she told me in writing she would never ask for money from me again. It took almost a year of no contact but she eventually agreed.
After that our relationship was on pretty decent terms (it was never as good as it used to be honestly) up until she passed away.
After 16 years, I have decided my signature will NOT be about my job! But I still don't know what to put here so...yea...
