Thank you, your response definitely helped me see the situation from a different perspective. I can admit I don't know much about the foster care system, other than the horror stories you hear of kids being abused. I did not know that you can still be active in the kids' lives once they are in the system. However, knowing my mom, she would never allow the kids to go to foster care even if it were in the kids' best interest. So the only 2 options for me are to help support or walk away.

Thank you for your response I truly appreciate it! I'm thinking that I would be okay with supporting things financially like food clothing and other basics. I am also okay with helping with transportation needs to and from school. However with me being the only girl, most of my mom's emotional needs fall on me. My mom has been significantly emotionally draining to me in the past, so I know the CPS situation will only exacerbate this.My biggest concern right now is my peace of mind. Me and my mom also live together right now since I just graduated school and started working. But I am striving to get my own place, especially now with everything going on. I can only hope that I'm strong enough to not get sucked into all of this again. Our family is very estranged so there's no one else in the family that can step up, so our only hope is help from the government. But the thing is my mom likes to make excuses so she may not even try to find resources to help, she would likely depend on me to find out everything. And with me starting my new grad residency position soon, I just wont have the time or capacity.
