Ok, here's the deal. I am in my 30's and my mother is in her late 60's, father in late 70's. They live on a fixed income and only owned 2 large older full size trucks. My ex-husband decided he was going to "give" me a vehicle that he wasn't using so I decided that it would be a great thing for me to give my 2002 Kia Spectra to my parents, no strings attached. That way, they would be able to go to town much cheaper, etc. etc. (Plus, to be honest, the thought of either of them driving those two big trucks scares me. They're not the safest drivers and I was worried about them hitting someone else and the harm they could cause.) Ok, so about a week after I gave them my car, I went out of town and called my folks to just check on them and let them know I had made it to my destination safe and sound. Out of the blue, my father accused me of stealing $200 - which I do NOT need! I tried to speak to him about it (he's been known to misplace things) but he insisted I took it and told all of my sisters and some of his friends that I did! He told me that the car was his now and that he didn't want me coming over to "his" home any more. My mother, who says she stands behind me, NEVER said a single WORD. Just stood there. Am I wrong to feel like I've gotten used? I have decided that I can not have someone like that in my life - I really don't need the stress. So the second part of my question is: am I wrong to cut them out of my life? Please, someone give me some advice!!!
