<human>: I'm 19 now and my mum's been on benefits all my life. She did help for a few months in a friend's pet shop and she said she loved it but has done nothing since. I'm at university and hopefully I'm moving out in my third year. Since discussing this it's becoming apparent she's going to struggle, because I won't be paying her rent anymore, which also means she can't afford the 2 dogs we have. When I leave she'll get around £40 every two weeks, and that is to pay for everything. 
I would help but it's hard on a student budget anyway to pay for things so I can't afford to keep paying basically 2 sets of rent. I've tried getting her to see sense, but she just says she can't trust people anymore. She doesn't have any qualifications but experience as a nanny and a child's holiday rep. She would love to work with kids but as she's in counselling for abuse issues, it looks difficult for that to happen. She's so set in her ways, we just end up arguing every time this is brought up.
How would you approach this? I can't see my mum just wasting another 30-40 years of her life reading books like she is doing now.

Can you condense the text into a few key points?
<bot>: mum on benefits for 20 years. Wants a job but can't due to counselling for abuse. I'm leaving which means my rent will stop.
