Poor timing

Older than dirt
I have an old favorite I've been seeing OTC for years. She's not my ATF but is a more occasional drug user and recently got out of court ordered rehab. I hadn't seen her in over a month & was pleased when she texted that she was house sitting, needed food & cigarettes, was lonely and would love to see me. I drove an hour, bought butts & food and got there just when I said I would. She had sweats commando and looked really good.
We sat to catch up & the doorbell rang & it was her mother, come to pick her up for a family gathering the next day. I left & drove an hour home two days later I got a text at 3:00 am that her mom had a bad wreck, washed flights to a trauma center, was on life support in icu.
The next day she texted again a need for food & cigs. I went right over & 10 minutes after I arrived with cigs & cash, her uncle showed up to drive her to see her mom. I left & drove home.
After a couple of days we started texting & I accused her of using me for cigs & money and then kicking me out. She went ballistic, called me a fucking useless old man, unfeeling, oblivious to her mom almost dying, ignoring that she is "in recovery", etc. I told her to fuck off, don't call me again, and get a life.
This morning she texted about midnight wanting to see me.
1. Was my timing bad?
2. Should I see her again ( she does a good (not great) BBBJCIM)?
3. If I see her should I be apologetic or expect an apology?
4. Her mother is 41, she's 26, and I'm 70. The mother really likes me. Should I offer to bring her to the hospital to see mom?
I have very mixed feelings about this one.

Once again, Gawker's stripper stories never cease to amaze even us veterans of strip club stripper shit...
I changed my number and never looked back. No matter how much money I gave her, it was never enough.
I hate her and learned a valuable lesson.
She's going through a difficult time - as you've mentioned. However, that doesn't give her the right to use you. If you were friends (and not OTC P2P) - that's much different.
White knights are also addicted to drama, too, feeding into the cycle of dependency. People do what they're going to do, whether it's self destruction or finding healthier alternatives. Whichever route you take, enjoy in moderation.
Meat, that statement is the most profound statement I have heard, on this subject, Subraman that should be in the aphorisms for sure
I can't help myself to engage in a board to someone as clueless as he, but I digress with self-edification.
Always get yours first!
You know you are good for it and you now know she is not.
