a lot

Would you please take a look at my questions and explain them to me?

I am not familiar with usage of "a lot" like these :
"She puts up with a lot with her boyfriend."
"My mom had to put up with a lot when I was young because we were always moving around to new cities when my dad got transferred."

I mean without something after. It is not mentioned to what. Perhaps it means a lot of putting up!
