I'm requesting prayer at this time b/c my mom has started bullying me. She already has mental health problems & is very manipulative & controlling. Usually, when she's manipulative it's more subtle. Now, she's making actual demands. Last week I did a pet/housesitting job for church friends & earned a little extra money. After I pay tithes/offering I really need to buy a few things, but my mom keeps demanding that I take her to dinner at this expensive restaurant. One time she even said that I need to turn the money over to my sister b/c her & her husband have finacial trouble. They earn a lot more than I do looking after my mom & the few little side jobs I get. If I refuse or take up for myself, I get accused of being greedy & selfish. She yells & calls me names. I don't mean to be selfish, but I already have a serious financial need. I just don't see why I should do a job, then spend the money on frivolous stuff for my mom or give it to my sister who has a good job. I just can't take the stress AND her added bullying & demands. Please pray that God will intervene. I'm so physically ill & depressed.
