I wouldn't give her the money...sounds like she is just using you for the money. I hate to hear that, and even say that but, I think even you know what is going on....you are a good person for giving the money up, but you should be able to live in your own home and not on the street

Growing up it's been a family plan that as soon as I got a job I would pay for certain things around the house to lighten the load off my parents. I paid for groceries, gas and sometimes part of the phone bill or rent. If this wasn't an arrangement you discussed with your mom, then you should. If you have a problem talk about it, don't come to conclusions and assumptions on your own.
If she really needs the help, it's so awsome that you're doing that.
Otherwise I'd say you're such a good daughter for helping your mom out eventhough she wasn't there for you earlier in life.
I don't think you're neither right or wrong, it's really something you should discuss with your mom.
If you're moving out, good for you, you'll only have yourself to support and all those costs you can look forward to which your mom is paying now include: the phone bill, groceries, car insurance, renter's/home insurance, cable bill, internet, gas and electricity bill, medical bills, dental bills...etc...
I'd say you have it pretty good where you are if all you're paying is rent and gas money.
Don't use the excuse that you're mom wasn't there for you so you don't owe her anything...she's made contact with you and you are living with her...think of her as a roommate and as roommates you need to share costs of things. Really talk to your mom if you feel your load of the bills is disproportionately distributed and you want it to be split 50-50.

Well sorry to hear about your past. For the here and now you are pretty much stuck giving your rent money till you can find a place to stay. I think its a little much for her to ask you for gas money.
