[QUOTE="katya02, post: 565025, member: 2884"] Linda, I'm so sorry. You probably don't remember me but I've been around the board awhile and I remember what you've been through ... this is more than anyone should have to cope with. But I agree with witz, and she said it so well: the threat to sue is nonsense, it's hurtful but no attorney would take that case. And as for family photos? No way can any child 'claim' family photos, they are your property. For that matter, a minor child doesn't own anything, anything at all, and every bit of furniture, clothing, and other paraphernalia she ever had in your home legally belongs to you, not to her. She owns nothing that she didn't buy herself, with her own money, after she turned 18. I think, in your shoes, I'd be looking at protecting myself through mailing her anything you think is truly hers, not opening the door to her, not letting police come through as though you're a suspected thief, not buying into any of this drama and vitriol at all. Put your family photos in a safe deposit box and don't take them out until you feel like it. Don't make yourself available to her, since she is taking this attitude. Just ... be good to yourself after all these years. Do what protects YOU, and don't feel guilty. Many hugs. Oops ... red face ... somehow I missed the second page. But I'm glad you have things in hand, Linda! And - she stole your car two weeks ago and now proposes to turn up at your house? Sounds like an easy arrest to me, if you feel so inclined. One way or another, I'm very glad you're feeling better. [/QUOTE]
