<human>: Can you provide a brief overview of the text?

About a year ago I moved back into my mom's apartment with her after I broke up with my ex who I had been living with.  Around that same time, I had also lost my job. During the time I was unemployed she was giving me about $30 a week to spend how I wanted.  
  
A few months ago I got a new job and since then she seems to feel like she's entitled to everything I make. She initially just asked for %50 out of each of my paychecks to put towards bills. Now I'm totally fine with that, but its gotten out of hand. Beyond what she's asked for I've been paying for all of our groceries, putting gas in her car, and covering all sorts of "little" things for her. (The other day she asked if I could get quarters so she could do laundry and I said "sure I need to do laundry too." Then she went and used all the quarters on just her stuff.) She's demanding so much from me that I couldn't even afford to make my last student loan payment.  
  
When I try telling her that she's just taking too much from me, she gets all upset and says that she can't afford things on her own. This doesn't make any sense to me because not only did she give me money on a regular basis before I had a job, but she's constantly going out and doing stuff with her on-again-off-again boyfriend thing (and I am more than aware that staying at a hotel for a weekend, going to fancy costume parties, and eating out at nice restaurants all the time are not cheap activities.)   
  
I've considered just straight up saying no when she asks for things, but then I realize that it won't either of us any good if the rent is late, the phone bill doesn't get paid, or she doesn't have enough gas in her car to get to work. I really just have no idea what to do in this situation and could really use some help.
<bot>: My mom seems to feel that she's entitled to my paychecks and doesn't listen when I tell her I need some money for myself too.
