family stuff is the worst; and family money stuff is a special level of badness, particularly when there's manipulation involved. :/
mine has been with multiple family members and a friend over the course of years, and in smaller chunks at a time; but it's crazy how it adds up. not to mention how it can end up feeling like we're almost being punished for being responsible and not spending everything we make. (note: this is when it comes to non-emergency/special circumstances assistance -- those are different).
it's really easy for a lot of people to say "just say no;" but, in reality, it's really not so easy, particularly with the aforementioned manipulation in the mix. ugh.
I'm particularly sorry your sister would get your Mom involved in any way at all as a middle person or more. I have had similar happen, and it made me about as mad as I ever get. it's inexcusable for an adult to do that; and I suggest that, if you haven't already, you do your best to ensure that your Mom isn't involved at all, even in further discussions. it's yet another way for master manipulators to get what they're after.
please feel free to complain here about this stuff any time you need to.
