text: how do you deal with a selfish mother?   i feel sometimes like my mother is selfish too. i pay here money every week because she is having a hard time right now financially and last week she wanted to flip over $25.00. "r u serious lady?" but i just think to myself, and things like this happen often. i think to myself, "hey it might seem like she is being selfish to me, but she is the one who has taken care of me and supported me all of my life so i guess she is not so... selfish after all!!!" sam 19yrs old
