Misunderstanding

It turns out that Mom didn't realize I had received my tax return and couldn't figure out how I had all this "extra" money when they were having to help me out.
In the mean time, I have figured out a way to pay my bills without the help but not very comfortably.
However, they insist on paying the loan for now. There was a big brouhaha first. Mom is still upset but she's not talking so it can't be helped.
Family! What can you do? I choose to not continue to let it upset me. I'll keep working on finding a better job so it's not such a tight squeeze to pay the bills each month.
