My Mom Sold My Stuff And Pawned My Laptop. I Called The Cops, Had Her Arrested....-Reddit Family

my mom sold my stuff and pawned my laptop I called the cops had her arrested and filed a restraining order Christmas dinner was almost finished when my father put down his Fork looked me directly in the eye and said you are a burden and you can no longer live with us at first I assumed I had misheard him my mother let out a strange nervous laugh as if she wasn't convinced he was serious but then he simply sat there staring at me waiting for a reaction the room went silent my younger sister Lily froze with

her fork halfway into her mouth she glanced at me with wide eyes as if she couldn't believe what she' just heard I swallowed the slice of ham I was chewing and set my Fork down what you heard me he stated you've overstayed your welcome you need to move out the reality check I just sat there trying to process I was 23 I had a regular career and could have left long ago but I stayed because they needed me I paid the energy bill internet and groceries most weeks which they couldn't afford because my father had

been unemployed for years and my mother only worked part-time I was not a burden I was the reason the lights remained on in that house and now out of nowhere I'm being tossed out like a useless freeloader mom has finally spoken up maybe we should talk about this later no dad interrupted this is my house I make the rules and I say he's done here Lily's Fear Lily sat down her fork she was barely 16 and I could tell she was afraid she looked at our parents as if she didn't recognize them what did it

mean for her that they could throw me out so easily I took a deep breath I wasn't about to argue or plead what if they wanted me out fine but they were not prepared for what that really meant I slumped back in my chair all right I said Dad sat up straighter as if he had won an imaginary fight mom still looked uneasy but she said nothing perhaps she was in shock perhaps she didn't care as much as I imagined she would I stood up grabbed my plate and took it to the sink I didn't

want to give them the reaction they expected instead I gazed at Lily who remained tight and uncertain I gave her a slight nod she was the only one at the table that I still cared about Dad sipped his drink as if nothing had happened mom returned to picking at her mashed potatoes Lily continued looking at me as if she wanted to say something but didn't I did not remain to complete dinner I just walked out the Silent Goodbye that night I walked directly to my room closed the door and began packing I wasn't going to

waste time figuring out why they were doing this if they wanted me gone I was gone however this meant they would lose all I had paid for and I wasn't about to warn them I packed quietly but I could hear them talking below mom's voice sounded low and terrified dad's tone sounded forceful as if he were attempting to persuade her of anything I I caught bits and pieces HEK old enough we can handle it he should have moved out years ago an hour later Lily knocked at my door I opened it and she slipped inside

closing it behind her she appeared distressed her eyes red as if she had been sobbing what the hell was that she said I don't know I replied tucking my laptop into my bag but I'm leaving tomorrow she shakes her head that's crazy you pay for everything they can't even afford food without you not my problem anymore Lily bit her lip clearly attempting to keep back more tears where are you going I'll figure it out the fact was that I had some money saved up but I had not intended on moving out so soon I'd have

to locate a place quickly perhaps staying at a friends for a while but I wasn't concerned I would be all right they would not Lily paused can I she stopped herself I knew what she'd ask she wanted to join me but she was still in high school and as much as I disliked leaving her behind I couldn't bring her with me you know they'd never let that happen you said she stared down at the floor yeah I finished packing while she stood there as if she didn't want to go finally she sighed you're going to

regret this I grinned I know the next morning I left before they even awoke I hauled my bags downstairs loaded my car and took one last glance around the house there's no sadness no regret just relief then as I was driving out of the driveway I entered my banking app and erased my name off all bills electric internet water even the Netflix account I had paid for each of them without me everything would shut down within a month I grinned put my car in to drive and drove away without looking back for the next few

days I stayed at my friend Jake's apartment while looking for a place of my own his sofa sucked his dog Max would not stop looking at me while I tried to sleep his roommate repeatedly asked are you staying forever but none of this mattered because I was free no more paying for a house that I didn't want to live in no longer pretending to appreciate a man who threw me out of Christmas dinner no more being regarded as a walking ATM I was finally doing something for myself 3 days after I left my phone started

ringing initially I ignored it seven missed calls from my mother my father called me twice which surprised me because he seldom did Lily sent a handful of SMS I also ignored those until she sent it they're freaking out the power's been cut off I grinned they honestly believed that the bills would magically pay themselves then another text Dad's losing his mind he said you did something to the house oh this was getting better I could just imagine dad stomping about in the dark cursing at my mother while she cried over the Wi-Fi being down an

hour later my phone called again this time I responded resped the moment I took up the phone my mother's voice hit me like a hurricane Kevin we don't know what happened the power's out the internet's down the water bill you didn't pay I replied simply silence then in a hushed voice you paid for these I nearly laughed are you serious who else did you think was paying for them she paused your father said she interrupted herself I already knew my father was too proud to acknowledge he didn't know how things worked he presumably assured her

that everything would be all right that the house would function flawlessly even without me not my problem anymore I said Kevin please we didn't mean I hung up not my problem anymore I assumed that was the end of it they would figure it out perhaps my father will finally get off his ass and get a job perhaps my mother would work more hours perhaps they will sell something to keep the lights on either way it's not my concern the next morning I awoke to a message from my bank fraud alert a suspicious login attempt was

detected I sat up fast my heart racing I checked my email three additional alerts someone had attempted to enter my account and I already recognized who it was I quickly logged in and went over my purchases nothing had been taken yet but there it was an attempt to reset a password another failed login then a third I clenched my jaw my father must have been quite desperate calling Lily I phon Lily she responded right away I was just about to call you she said quietly dad's freaking out he keeps yelling about money he was on

the computer all morning I breathed sharply trying to get into my bank account she was silent for a second before cursing beneath her breath does he have my old passwords I inquired probably she confessed you know how mom used to keep them in that little notebook by the computer I knew it my father must have gone through that figuring I'd be stupid enough to continue using the same passwords from high school Kevin Lily whispered her voice shook HEK really pissed I think she paused I heard shouts in the background my father's booming voice the banging

of doors and my mother crying I think he's going to do something stupid Lily's words sent shivers down my spine what do you mean what did he say I inquired squeezing my phone more tightly she lowered her voice he's saying you ruined us that you did this on purpose to screw him over heun's talking about calling the cops I nearly laughed for what not paying his bills I don't know she hissed HEK losing it Mom's crying saying she'll talk to you but he won't listen he keeps saying he's not going to get away with this

Kevin I think he wants to go after you that took the smile off my face I had expected my father to to get desperate to beg perhaps even try to Guilt Trip me but to believe he would gain revenge on me that was a new level of foolishness locking down everything lock your door I instructed her if he does something crazy call me I hung up and quickly changed all of my passwords bank accounts email streaming services even my Amazon login then I called my bank to report the hacking attempt they had locked my account

so tightly that I even had difficulty logging in for a few hours I assumed that was was the end of it I was completely mistaken that night Jake and I were hanging out in his apartment playing some ridiculous Xbox game then bang someone slammed the door hard Jake paused the game are you expecting someone I was not I already got a horrible feeling I got up walked to the peephole and my stomach dropped it was my father he was standing in the corridor hands clenched and breathing like a bull prepared to charge Jake asked who

is it I stepped back from the door my dad Jake stood up dude what's going on bang Kevin open the door I did not move bang this time it's harder I know you're in there you think you can just walk away from this Jake scalled at me dude should we before he finished my father kicked the door in calling 911 that was it I grabbed my phone and called 911 my my dad just showed up at my apartment I told the dispatcher he's banging on the door yelling at me and he just tried to kick

it in Jake stepped back Kevin this is crazy I met his gaze yeah I know I held the phone to my ear while my father continued yelling you ungrateful little you think you can just walk away you owe us you sir officers are on their way the dispatcher stated 2 minutes later I heard sirens then my father's voice went silent a knock at the door police open up I opened the door just in time to see two officers handcuff my father his face was hot and his chest heaved but as he noticed me standing there

his expression altered there were no regrets there is no humiliation just pure hatred you did this he muttered as he was dragged away I simply stood there unaffected because the reality was he did this to himself they took my father away that night but I knew things weren't finished an hour later Lily called mom's losing it she explained she's crying and saying it's all your fault yeah that sounds about right she keeps saying you have to fix this she's already calling people trying to get bail money I nearly laughed with what money silence because we

knew they didn't have any no electricity there's no internet no savings and now there is no Father Figure to yell at everyone while trying to be in charge without me they were sinking quickly I should have felt bad but I only felt relief keep an eye on her I advised Lily if she does anything crazy call me Lily texted me the next morning mom's selling your stuff I froze then I called her she picked up immediately her voice harsh I told you to fix this are you selling my stuff a pause then bluntly we need

money Kevin I clinched my jaw so you're stealing from me you don't live here anymore she yelled you left all this behind it's in our house that makes it ours she felt no regret there is no guilt it's just entitlement I'm calling the cops don't you dare I hung up then I phoned the cops 2 hours later I received a call back we talked to your mother the officer stated she wasn't happy but she's agreed to hold your things until you can pick them up messaged Lily I'm coming over but I should have realized they

were not prepared because when I arrived at the house something made my stomach plummet my automobile sitting on the driveway it should not have been there I had left it at Jake's flat I turned off the engine my heart thumping my car wasn't simply here it had been driven the front seat was folded back as if someone had sat in it the glove compartment was open and worst of all the gas tank was nearly empty I clenched my fist they'd stolen my car the confrontation before I could exit the front door swung open my mother

stepped outside arms crossed you called the cops on me she remarked you stole my car I snaap back she scoffed it was just sitting there you weren't using it I stared at her trying to grasp the absurdity of this logic it's my car how did you even get it she didn't respond but I already knew they had an extra key mom I said my voice dangerously calm if you don't give me my key I'm calling the cops again her expression flickered for a second then without speaking she stormed inside a minute later she returned and

threw the key at me it struck my chest and landed on the grass there she spat happy I picked it up trying not to be angry I'm taking my things and then I'm leaving for good I walked past her and into the home Lily waited in the hall looking nervous she took your laptop and pawned it she said quietly I closed my eyes take a breath in breathe out then I turned to my mother where's my laptop she raised her chin I told you we needed money that was it I took out my phone dialed

911 for the second time this week and let her watch yes I want to report a stolen vehicle and stolen property I responded looking her dead in the eyes my mother has just revealed that she pawned my laptop without authorization her face lost its color this time she was the one who had to deal with the police my mother worried when she realized I wasn't bluffing you can't do this she muttered her tone low I'm your mother I ignored her yes officer I have proof that she admitted to taking my belongings and pawning them I

stated over the phone I want to press charges Lily stood motionless her gaze flitting between us my mother's hands were shaking now she was absolutely taken aback as if she believed she could keep pushing and I would never push back Kevin she said again this time softly like if she were pleading we struggling your father's in jail I had no choice you had a choice I explained you could have worked more you could have sold your own stuff you could have asked for help instead of throwing me out like garbage she blinked rapidly her face

contorted I was angry I laughed yeah so was eye I heard sirens outside my mother jumped a few minutes later two officers walked through the door sir did you call about the stolen property one of them inquired I nodded and pointed to my mother she took my laptop and pawned it I want to press charges my mother gasped as if I'd stabbed her Kevin don't do this the officers turned to her ma'am is this true she hesitated her gaze shifting between me Lily and the cops I could see her her calculating attempting to determine whether

she could lie her way out of this then Lily spoke she told him herself just before he called You My Mother snapped her head at Lily so quickly it was almost frightening you little ma'am one of the cops interrupted her do you have a receipt from the pawn shop her face fell she knew what was coming they took her outside I looked through the window while they spoke with her for a few minutes handcuffs appeared unexpectedly she was straining crying and yelling neighbors looked through their blinds the entire Street most likely heard her weeping about

how she was simply a struggling mother and how unjust this was Lily's realization Lily Stood Beside Me looking out the window she gulped hard is this really happening I nodded yes and for the first time in a long time I felt calm the text message my phone buzzed with a message from an unexpected number you're going to regret this my chest tightened I read it again then I realized my father had been released on bond when I saw that message I knew exactly what had occurred someone had bailed my father out and I had a

fairly solid idea who probably one of his old drinking cronies or perhaps a distant family member who hadn't heard the entire story in any case he was done and angry I showed Lily the text her face turned pallet Kevin you need to leave no I replied I turned to face the cops who were still outside dealing with my mother can I go in and get the rest of my stuff one of them nodded as long as it's okay with your sister Lily was already moving let's make this quick we walked upstairs and packed everything that

was mine clothes old video games even the silly things I had left behind thinking I'd come back for them one day I was not coming back ever as I took the last box to my car my mother was still crying in the driveway pleading with the officers to let her go this is a misunderstanding he's my son he wouldn't do this to me I just strolled by her unconcerned she screamed my name as if it would suddenly change anything I got in my car Lily stood in front of my window Shuffling from foot to foot

I don't want to stay here I exhaled I know you don't but you only have 2 years until you're 18 she nodded with watery eyes I'll be fine I'll just be quiet and keep my head down call me if anything happens she nodded again then headlights arrived on the roadway an automobile turned onto our street my stomach sank it was my father he pulled up right as I started the engine he hardly had time to go before I put it in reverse and backed into the street he stared at me with hatred in his eyes

as if he were about to approach and try something I rolled down my window just enough to carry my voice you try to come near me again I'm filing a restraining order his hands tightened into fists you think you're better than us I smiled I know I am then I drove away it was the last time I saw them I blocked my parents phone numbers changed my financial information moved and never looked back Lily's Independence Lily kept out for 2 years just as she promised she left as soon as she turned 18 she moved in

with a buddy and headed off to college we're still talking all the time the consequences my parents my father never had a job my mother lost the house a year later they bounced around for a while destroying relationships with family and the last I heard they were renting a dilapidated flat in a poor neighborhood they attempted to reach out to me Facebook messages unknown numbers even letters I never responded because they had made their pick for Christmas dinner and I made mine thank you for watching if you haven't subscribed yet please do so and hit
