So my mom came home from church and I asked her where my PS2 was. She looked me dead in the face and said in the most flippant tone:

"I pawned it."

Flabbergasted, I asked her why. She told me in the same tone that she needed gas money. My boyfriend was pushed to his breaking point and confronted her, telling her that she stole from us. My mom said that she spoke to a lawyer and he told her that she could. In fact, this lawyer said that everything in the house belonged to her so she could sell it if she wanted to.

She then said that we stole from her because we weren't paying her bills, the bills that she neglected to pay. Shane got really pissed and started yelling at her. I started yelling at her too.

Sensing that she may have to face her actions, my mom announced that she was calling the police. She then dragged my 10 year old sister outside and held her close and started saying stuff to her. I don't know what she said but my sister was in tears by the time the cops did arrive.

So the cops were on their way and Shane attempted to talk to her and mom wasn't listening. She said that the line had been crossed and that there was nothing to be done.

So the cops arrived and no my mom is holding my crying sister like she's some kind of mother-figure. Trying to keep calm, me and Shane went out to face the music.

So my mom told the cops that Shane yelled at her and she she felt like he was going to STAB her. She then said that she had told us to pawn our stuff and we didn't (even though we sold our games) so she took the initiative and did so. She said that we stole from her because I traded in some games for my younger siblings and didn't ask for her permission. She then said that she had wanted us out in a month when we arrived and that she wanted us to sleep in separate beds and shit. She then said that she planned to buy the PS2 back. Something else she neglected to tell me.

We told the cops that we were already leaving and they were pretty much like, "Why are we here?" So they left and we waited for Shane's dad. I found out that my mom DIDN'T buy gas with the money. She bought fast food and a perm.

I'm glad I'm gone...
