I am currently attending a college out of state and have stopped reaching and communicating with my toxic family, especially with my biological mother. While here, I finally have independence and freedom but I am still financially dependent on my bio parents. I am no longer the one reaching out to speak to them. Instead, they reach out to me first.

Bio mom is toxic, racist, demeaning, controlling, a narcissist, a bully, and acts like a toddler. After not talking on the phone for 3 weeks and only communicating through text, she texts "if you don't call me back within 15 minutes, I will call the police," and she did. I didn't see the text because my phone was on Do Not Disturb as I am studying for finals.

As I am set to return to my personal hell in the next few days, what could I do to maintain this no communication? How do I maintain my sanity? I cannot lock my door or close it because "I am hiding something." I cannot go anywhere without having bio parents drive me even though I have a driver's license. Bio mom figuratively traps me and forces me to rely on her for everything.
