When you responded to my question, are you talking about giving money to her monthly, or in regards to my question about backpay?

I've read on several sites, including this forum, that people may be asked to show proof of where the money has gone, and it is not allowed to be given to other people.
You can pay your legal debts. How much do you owe your mother? What were the terms of your agreement? When she fronted you the food and shelter, what did the two of you agree on?

Without an agreement, you have no loan. You cannot make food and shelter become a loan after the fact.
