Hi,
I'm so sorry about your mom -- everything goes on hold when something like that happens.
Hugs for you! Hopefully she is stable now and you can recapture your enthusiasm for getting out of debt. It's reasonable that you would spend money during the last months since it is a distraction from a hard situation. On the other hand, the spending only helps for a short time. I've done the same thing. But now you can have a fresh start -- you've already locked up the cards so they can't get out to torment you!! You will win this. We are all in this together. Best of luck in everything.

I'm sorry you've been feeling overwhelmed with the cargiver duties. I hope your Mother improves to where she can have a more independent life. I'll bet it helped your mood just to write about it. It does for me. Maybe you've got a sibling or aunt or someone to help out to give you a breather. Or maybe your husband can help on weekends or something. There's a very important reason the airlines tell us to put on our oxygen masks first, before we attempt to help another...

Take care.
