Financial talk

Pretty sure, that my own mother – who has known me for 23 years – does not care about me one bit, let alone wants me to be miserable and not have a life. My mom is terribly awful with finances. I mean, to the point where she has bills in collections. About two years ago is when I started to notice something. At the time, I was saving money for college.. it turned out that she stole every penny of my savings. Now unfortunately, I had to move back with my parents. For the past year, it’s been an emotional rollercoaster. She still steals my checks when I am at work (she goes into my room without my permission). I try to hide them anywhere I can, but somehow she manages to find it. I am to the point where I sleep with my purse under my pillow. Recently, I got a letter in the mail saying she used about $160 worth of my checks at a local grocery store. My fear is that the police will go after me, let alone have a warrant out, on something I did not even cause. I have confronted her, but all my mother does is get all stubborn and defensive, and states I do not help around the house (supposedly), therefore she can go and take my money. [I pay for the satellite bill, internet bill, my own groceries, my cellphone bill, etc. while she has been unemployed for 6 months, and not taking the effort to find a job]. She knows I want to go back to college, but I can’t save because of this. I am so stressed, I have been ill more than ever, my weight has been fluctuating. I feel like I do not matter in my family, and I feel like a doormat. I can not move out.. I have no where to stay. I am at my wits end. I do not know what to do anymore…
