my parents, had me paying rent at home with my babysitting money, then when I started working, my mother would take my checks and cash them, then lie to me and tell me they never arrived.
Needless to say, I had the check thing happen twice, once, then another time while they were invetigating what happened to the first check.
At the age of 18, I moved out, my mother stole the money out of my car that I had locked in ther to pay for the rest of the deposit on my apartment. With a whopping 65.00 left to my name, I pulled that out to finish paying for my apartment.
My boss gave me the two check copies, I went to the police department. They told me I could file charges against her, but I'd have to take it seriously that I could not go back after I started.
I didn't. To this day, I regret not doing so. My mother divorced my father, managed to also steal thousands of dollars from all of her children through one child, and told us we were not worth receiving our inheritance.
3 years of probate court, $50,000.00 in attorney fees, and then she tried to have my son arrested for claiming he kicked in her screen door 2 weeks before he graduated. I was asked by my town police department to never have contact with her again.
I haven't spoke to her since.
That was my parents love. My father was a spineless man, and my mother was a thief and a liar. I have moved on, and my husband and children are great.
WE are paying my childrens way through college, and I paid my way through college.
And as for my mother she can go pound salt.
Yikes, sorry to hear about your situation about you mother. That is really messed up.
I wish you and your family all the best.
