In reply to the discussion: 18 year old sues parents for kicking her out and not paying her tuition [View all]bravenak
(34,648 posts)I was stiffed out of my social security initial settlement when my dad died, because my mom had gone off the rails ( hs shot himself in front of her)and withdrew all of the money out our joint account ( I had been saving since I was 11, all of my permanent fund checks, my work money from weebees, and the 8000 I had gotten from social security). I was legally unable to do anything about it, so I moved out and shared a 1 bedroom with a couple of friends from foster care. It was supposed to be my college money, but I didn't gave enought money to go after that. I had to go to the social security office and show that my mom was not supporting me and gad moved to another town before I was able to start getting the checks in my name. I also had to pay back an overpayment that she had gotten in my name. That's why I think she won't win. Not because I'm unsympathetic, I've just been throughout it before.
I get along with my mom just fine now, and she fully admits that she had lost her mind for a few years. It sound to me like the whole family will be needing extensive therapy in the future.
