Having some financial difficulties due to unhelpful mother.
I am graduating next year and I have earned some money working part time. All I need is just 10k more to fully pay off my student fee loan. However my mother is really very selfish.
Since the start of Covid I have been buying groceries for the whole family with my money from part time. My dad gives my mom a monthly allowance to settle household stuff. Basically she has zero output for these few years and a net gain of maybe close to 30k.
I finally ask her to just give me 10k to settle the loan then I wouldn’t have to pay the damn interest rate. She went completely mad after I ask her that. She thinks that I am “after her money” and she told me that she doesn’t have any money to give me. When I try to explain I need only 10k I am not asking for all her life savings. She insisted that she has no money and I should stop pestering her for money that she doesn’t have. When I told her I have been spending a lot of my money on this household that’s why I am unable to pay, she completely just ignored me.
I am really speechless. I feel that I have been serving her blindly, waking up early to go to the market and spending my hard earned money without hesitating. Naively thinking that my feelings are reciprocated and she will do the same for me. Boy am I wrong. I am okay with paying the interest but I don’t understand why she can’t just support me. It is literally the last time I am taking money from her. I hope to move out and stay away from her.
