Question:

why not sue them? THIS IS LITERAL THEFT!

Because she still relies on them for her survival for a few more years?

All these people downvoting her for not retaliating need to realize that she still has to live with this people for at least 2-3 years at minimum.

I don't know why more people don't realise this. If OP 'retaliates' visibility, her life & sisters could become bad/worse.

1 and a bit, if she plans to leave the minute she turns 18. But I'm guessing it would be good to stick around for the sister, unless she tries for guardianship, which doesn't seem realistic for a freshly 18yo in the case of a 16-17yo sister.

Honey, I hate to break it to you, family does not do this. They don't neglect you, nor allow literally theft.

I am so, so sorry.
