I was allowed to take half of my belongings when told to move out. She lied to sheriffs and said kitchen belonged to her. I cannot afford to get another lawyer to obtain the rest of my things. Even the sheriffs said she is playing a game and they don't wanna be involved. I can't even afford a small claims because I have to pay for storage till My apt is ready. Her cruelty is over the top. Any suggestions?
On the plus side, if you were doing well before you can do well again. Leave behind whatever remains in your mother's home and look forward. Best of luck to you.
Who is the "we" in your post headline, by the way? You plus partner, child or what?
I hope you can put your own life back together at least part of it, but I sense some things you did are not so reversible...I feel for you. If things are going to go badly without you in that home, you have an option to call Adult Protective services to check on her welfare and your brother's.
If the situation is different --as in, you did pay market -based rent, and half the utilities, and did not damage anything, if after being a good renter she reclaimed some of what was legally your property, then your only recourse is Small Claims Court (but you have to prove she is guilty, otherwise she is innocent).
Sounds like maybe you just learned a lot about many aspects of Life. So sorry you have this bad experience.. I've had horrible roommates, bad siblings, and spend oodles of time doing things for my mom. Not much time left for myself. Be glad you have a new, fresh start. Put your kitchen accouterments back together by shopping the summer yard sales. You might find something better than what your mom kept!
And, so, who's taking care of your brother?
Since you have moved out, who is now taking care of your Mom? Would that person allow you to come into the home to gather the rest of your things? With Alzheimer's/Dementia, it could be you Mom might not even remember what things are yours and what things are hers.
