Not long now Kelly!!!

Next time Mommy Dearest starts you just repeat to yourself "PT loves me" over and over again. She may not appreciate you, but we do!

I didn't go back and re-read what you said about your parents having control over your finances...but, how are you addressing that issue? Will they hold or keep your money from you once they realize you are moving out? Is it more that you are expected to turn it over to them, rather than them having control over it? I wasn't clear on that, but, you need your money, and if they have it...well....

Taking everything you say as true, I would probably arrange for a police officer at the time of the move. While it might be your mom/stepdad, the way you have described some of their actions is a little off, and you want to make sure this happens exactly as planned.

Johanna brings up an interesting point with "your parents having control over your finances" ...

Do your parents hold a Power of Attorney that names them as your overseer or
gives them financial control over your accounts?

Do you voluntarily put your paychecks, alimony, and other income into a
"joint account" that your Mother has access to?

I'd take steps to nullify any of these agreements if they exist.
