Mad at my mom during christmas holidays. Should I leave?
We had an argument about 30 mins ago. I think she has a gambling problem. She always goes to the Casino to play bingo and the machines. She always complains about how broke they are and how she needs to borrow money. I moved out 2 years ago and am attending a university. So far I had lent her $1,500. I'm also very broke and I barely have enough for my rent and bills. I live 3 hours away but came to visit for holidays. I planned on staying till Jan. 2nd but now I want to leave tomorrow or christmas day. The argument was b/c she wanted to leave to the casino right now and borrow money to go play! And, her sister is coming to visit and she wanted me to cater. I said, go ahead and leave but you should be giving payments to the bills you are behind in! I also said, maybe if you didn't gamble we'd all have money in our pockets! I wanted to spend the holidays with my boyfriend and his family but chose my family instead. Now I'm regretting it.
Should I leave? Or just stay and have a not-so-merry christmas? My mom said I was just being spoiled and snotty.
My dad hasn't been able to get any jobs b/c he works in construction and since the economy is down he hasn't worked in months. I began to lend her money b/c she constantly called me and would go on and on and on about how behind she was in bills. I love my mom, but even my boyfriend has began to get mad at me b/c he also sees my moms problem and he tells me it's wrong for my mom to take advantage of my help while I bust my butt being a full-time student and also an employee.

First, even though you didn't ask, don't lend your mom any more money. Helping someone because they have fallen on hard times is one thing; supplying gambling money is something else.
Since you are already there, I suggest staying until Christmas. If the situation doesn't improve, or gets worse, going home might be the best thing. If you leave, try not to leave in anger; simply tell her that the stress is overwhelming for you and you have to get rest/relax before going back to school.

Calm down. Get a grip. Pinch yourself. Smoke some weed(Just joking). Theres no need to get mad at people during the holidays...
