How does a parent “financially abuse” an adult child?
I’m siding with mom on this one.
I’ve know plenty of kids with problematic relationships. The ones where the parent was truly bad, the parent’s death went unrecognized. Indifference is the reaction. Or relief. But there will just be a death notice.
When the kid (usually a daughter) was scum, it’s a reaction like this.
Might be different here, but I’m going with this until proven otherwise.
You are probably not in the right. Read below.
By providing college money for other kids but not you. By purchasing winter coats/clothes for other kids but not you. By buying cars for other kids but not you. By providing down payments on houses for other kids but not you. Get it?

It doesn’t say she was abused as an adult. The mom could have spent money set aside by someone else for a collage, spent the child support payments on herself, taken and/or sold gifts given to the child.

I watch local obits. I've noticed that a few times. "No service". Always wondered.
(One of my uncles was like that. No funeral after he died. Wondered at the family dynamics (he was an alcoholic, I found out later.).
Take their stuff and sell it. Take money from their wallet. Steal their identity and use it to take out loans.
Lots of ways.
And the police and prosecutors quite often will do nothing about it.
They will tell you that you should "work it out" with a stupid smile on their face like stealing from someone and trashing their credit is the same as not putting dirty dishes in the sink.
My daughter’s friend’s mother took her daughter’s money that she earned working. Her house was filthy, the daughter slept on a mattress on the floor, the mom did drugs, and was verbally disrespectful to her. The girl was shy, well mannered, and a good student. I wanted to call DHS to get her out of there, but she didn’t want me to. She was in high school at the time. She ended up going to live with another friend her junior year. The fact that she earned money and her mother would take it, that is financial abuse.
