This might be confusing because I'm sure I'll forget key details. I (f 20) am trying to move out of my mother's apartment with my boyfriend, whom they don't know about, because I feel like they won't approve of him, and I don't want to go through all of that drama yet. I'm moving to another town for school, and the bf is just tagging along. My issue is about money. My car recently blew up, so I no longer have a car. My parents are pressuring me into a car, but I would rather have an apartment. I only have enough money for an apartment (both the first month's rent, security deposit, and food) (along with what my boyfriend has saved).
The thing that is really stressing me out is that my mom's "wealthy internet boyfriend" gave her a huge check for $34,000. She put it into her account, and it locked it up. She has a truck payment due tomorrow (05/01), and I fear that she is going to use my money for it (She has complete access to my account). I can't afford to pay for her truck payment, nor do I even want to.
This internet boyfriend has been rubbing me the wrong way ever since she first talked about him. At first, I thought this bothered me because she's still technically married to my dad, and I believe she made up some bullshit excuse to leave my dad without making her look like a bad guy. He's completely torn up about it. But the more crap that has been going on with the internet boyfriend keeps getting fishier and fishier. He's about the age of my older brother (late 20's- early 30's) and is getting a kidney transplant, for which she wired money. And now she gets this check, and her account gets locked up?? IDK, it just seems strange, and I don't know if this is normal.
Please let me know what you think, and I'll do a compilatory post if I think of any more to this
