‘She cried… was [I] too harsh?’: 69-year-old mom caught wracking up more credit card debt after spending 3 years paying off her past crippling debt, daughter who helped her finally snaps

When it comes to family issues, they can be about all kinds of things. Money tends to be a big one, however. But that's not just with families! Money issues can arise anywhere. In the case of this family, it is appearing with the senior citizen mother. The daughter, who is grown, and married with her own children, came to her mom's aid. The credit card debt that her 69-year-old mom had wracked up was crippling. She had to move in with her adult daughter and her family for three years just to work on paying it off. Finally, when it was paid off, her daughter helped her move into a low income senior facility and start getting back on her own two feet. 

 

However, she recently caught her mom frivolously spending again and that was the final straw. She blew up at her mom so much, that she made her cry. However, her mom was paying off her credit card, but it wasn't enough. But now she is feeling guilty for making her cry… Is this manipulation?
