I am adopted.

My birth mother gave me up when she gave birth to me. Well she asked for money from the family who wanted to adopt me.idk was I sold?. Luckily I was given to a very kind family and really lovable one. My mom and dad who adopted me put me through college and i now have a bachelors degree and a job. One day, my birth mom found me. She made me feel loved and regret what she did but she asks for money. I dont earn that much until one day when i wasnt able to give her money. She suddenly became berzerk crazy like telling me hurtful words. For 26 years she never contacted me. Only talked to me when i finished college and have a job. I find it weird cause my parents who adopted me never asked me for money cause they know im still a beginner at my company and i dont earn much. I havent told them what my birth mom said to me. Do i have a responsibility of my birth mom? I kinda feel guilt cause i wasnt able to send her money. My SO told me in the first place she gave me up and i dont really need to send her anything. She gives me words like

"Oh im still ypur mother and you are my child"
"We are family even if i gave you away"
" i hope you can help me as your mother have a better life"

I have a hard time sleeping and keep having bad dreams cause of what my birth mom said. I feel im an awful daughter. Like it is not my fault she is in her situation. If she didnt do drugs and not have a lot of men in her life she woulve been in a better situation but she makes me feel responsible for sht i dont do.

That's so manipulative of her.
If she's nice and loving right up until the point where you don't give her what she wants then you know she's just using you.
You owe her nothing.
I'm sure you're a good daughter to you real parents.
This woman is your biological parent but she is not your mother, especially since she tries to use you like this.

Hope you can move past her abuse✌️
