How much should we forgive?

[AnthroHeart]

when I compare my situation with yours, I see how much patience and love you have.

Today I was in the car with my mom and as usual she was complaining about everything in her life and acting like such a victim. she was angry and every moment of it bothered me. I said nothing and just listened. I spoke very little because if I wanted to speak my mind, I would hurt her and reflect her own anger and negativity.

I was drained and filled with negativity after that. until now.. I somehow released the anger. I'm no longer carrying the negativity she had with her.

Now I'm not bothered or annoyed anymore when I think of her words and actions. so the proper forgiving can be done with no effort. because I care for her.. and that's what matters.

Yeah, I'm going to keep 50% of the income I make and let her continue to have 50% instead of all of it.
I need to let her know that she appears to be polarizing negatively and incurring negative karma. If I am right about that.

It'll take a few days, but I think she needs this lesson. And I have no other income so I need to do it for my sake.
She is a dependent on my taxes, so I get some extra back at each tax return. So there's that too.
My mom complains about her life too, but uses words like god da**it and more. I swear it seems like she has Tourette's.
