Same here

drives me nuts to see the woman who's taken care of me since birth struggle to take care of herself. I wish someone would give my mother a break, She has raised 4 kids that weren't biologically hers ( 9 kids total over 18), and now she's raising 3 more because some people in my family would rather party than take care of their own, not me of course). All at the same time dealing with her health issues (bad back, macular degeneration, panic attacks, the works), watching my son while I attend college classes and the list goes on. Thinking about getting her a Ego Twist set with some stuff soon to help her get off the smokes but been having a hard time afford a set for her (considering since I'm in college and better half is the only one bringing home money, figure when I do, it's something little I can do for her that will show that someone out there still cares for her and thinks of her as more than just some where to drop their kids off.
