My mum giving up!

Sorry if this is in the wrong place.
I have overheard (when sleeping) she talking on the phone about how she is going to give up her job. She left her email account open again and inside said how she is on the process of handing over her notice.
She is into the 'healing' business and wants to set that up and do that - but how can u afford to live on it (she has about 2 customers a month) and out goings are £2000+. She has a mortgage to pay too. She says 'spirits' and other people say (their spirits) say she should do it.
She is going to imo ruin us, how will she like it when people come knocking at the door demanding £500 etc?

However, if I recall previous posts, you seem to be a bit too into her life. Just because she is a mother does not mean that she has no other dreams, goals or ideas besides her children. Perhaps it may be a risky venture but if it something she desires, why rain on her parade, as long as she is not completly reckless.
If she is attempting to do something she enjoys, I would hardly clasify that as giving up, I'd say it is the complete opposite. She has the gonads to go out and do something she finds pleasurable and believes in, not sticking around in some shit hole job just to for the paycheck.
Second, you're 21, which means you're well old enough to be supporting yourself financially. Why are you still living at home dependent on your mum anyway? Do you have a job? You are now at an age where, unless you are for some reason physically or mentally unable to do so, you should be supporting yourself financially and therefore it's none of your business if your mother wants to make stupid decisions about her career.
If this is something she wants to try, then you should support her.
