Hi, I'm new and I have been on this site for a few weeks now and you have all opened our eyes so much and helped us become so much stronger, so firstly, I will say thank you.

I hope it's okay to share our story with you all, but it's quite a long one, so I'll try to cut it down. My evil father D left my mum at christmas for her daughter in-law and ran off with mum's grandchildren in tow. This was sick enough, but since then we have been doing some digging and found out that he has hoarded huge amounts of money from mum's bungalow (she made the mistake of putting him on jointly three years ago) and done a runner with it. We stuck by mum and we were 'punished' for it by him when he cut us off from the rest of his family. He did us a big favour really, as they operate by suppression and suffocation, and we were okay for a while. Mum is doing a lot better and is ready to fight. The thing is, and this is the main point to my post, I have moved out of the home he put my sister and I two years ago, with my sister following in a weeks time. Since we have been cut off from the family, they didn't let us go completely. The brother and his wife have watched our every move (and I'm not paranoid, I have seen the sicko's face more than once eyeballing us when we leave) the wifes daughter has threatened us and tried to stop my sister from going into the flat, and since I have been gone, the stupid big mouth wife has had the audacity to ask of my whereabouts to my mum's other grandchild (my other brother's girl). I have a feeling they have been instructed to watch us by D. When we move I know they aren't going to let up until to know something, and since we are with my mum, I don't want her to have to deal with anymore of their sick antics. I know they are getting off on the power they are getting from trying to intimidate us, but we just want to be left alone to get on with our lives. I'm twenty three, my sister is twenty two, and the apron strings were cut long ago. They have no right to do this do they?
