[QUOTE="Marcie Mac, post: 654968, member: 47"] CB I gather that your mom is important in your life helping you here and there. Totally understand - its difficult raising difficult kids on your own and I know you are thankful for what she does. HOWEVER, you need to sit down and have a talk with her about boundaries. Your financial affairs are just that, yours. Someone would have to peel me off the ceiling had I found out that my debit card was cancelled, or my phone account had been changed. I am positive that had I not put 3,500 miles between my mother and myself when she was alive, she would be doing the same thing. I always had to be careful what I said or she would start making a mountain out of a molehill. Had to be very careful I never ever mentioned any financial situations whatsoever, even down to saying shoot, tax time is comming up or it would be constant grilling about money. I would not be cutting her out of your life, or having her arrested - that would be a knee jerk reaction. Am sure she meant well, but you are the one who has to set guidelines on what is and what is not acceptable. No nosing around in my finances, no calling people pretending to be me, and no comming to my job and upsetting me with your bonehead moves. Good luck Marcie [/QUOTE]
