You are enabling your mother - that means that your constant help is preventing her from living her own life without you. If your mother is capable of working at SOME job, you need to step out of her life, even move away, so that she can start helping herself. 50-something is NOT too old for her to find a job.
Good Luck with YOUR life - you deserve it!

Find a program at a hospital for her. She sounds depressed or bipolar and can't concentrate or focus(ADD) .....I feel so sorry for you. Do you have other siblings or relatives that can help you.
She is not too old to get a job. Most people don't retire until 55 or older. Call a church for help. Get her involved in something. You have a right to have a life. I know it is hard. But sometimes tough love is needed. Move on and let her figure it out. Even if she hits rock bottom...sometimes that is what it takes....don't be her codependent....don't always let her know that you will be there to help her....she has to be strong on her own. But she hasn't had any practice if you are always helping her. Seek Counseling for her at the churches or hospital. Good Luck

It's called tough love hunny. You got to be firm and say get a job I'm not giving you anymore money.
