Wow. Your mom.....maybe she takes advantage of you because she feels she can. Maybe she needs someone to dump on and whether you realize or not, you make it safe for her to do it? I don't know! I guess you'd feel guilty if you started shutting her out, but after all, it's as if she's asking for it.
I don't know the whole situation: how old she is, if she's ill, etc., but you know, couldn't she take the bus?
