Q: I am 18 and my mom is threatening to throw away everything that I left behind, and won't give me my SSN card. Can she?
I moved out 5 months ago, 24 hours after I turned 18. I wasn't able to take much due to having to secretly leave.
She is stating that she throw away, sell, or is just not give me my things. What was would be the best thing to do
I also am wondering what to do as she is saying for me to burn in hell (not a problem but I think it is with other information), that she doesn't care if I die, and that if she saw me it would take everything in her power to not run me over (basically stating that she wants to harm me in my opinion.)
I'm at a loss, what should I even do?
A: Call the police. Tell them you want to peacefully enter the home and collect your belongings. They can meet you at the house at a specific time. It should probably be a time when someone is at home. While moving your stuff out, tell the police that your mom has your SS card and that you want it. You may also benefit from some version of family therapy to improve things going forward. Therapists make great referees, not to count points, but to call foul on comments that only cause harm. Good luck!
