Hi all, I don't want to get into too much specifics about my family situation as it is too complicated and the post will end up being too long. Sorry if this is the wrong sub but I had no idea where else to go.
Long story short. I am a 19 year old student. I have around £8k in my savings. 4.5k of that, is my mums money which she hid in my account to hide from my fathers gambling addiction. The other 3.5k is my money which I saved from many jobs.
My family is planning on buying a house next month. They want to borrow my money for the initial payment and plan to "pay me back". However, I know they won't be able to because they are TERRIBLE with money. Not to mention, they are toxic and I am planning on leaving them for good when I finish university. I also have an unstable relationship with them and I know, if they find out about the lifestyle I live (not religious, I have a boyfriend etc) they will kick me out. So I know I will need that money as an emergency back up for when that happens. I don't mind them taking the 4.5k for good but I want that 3.5k for myself.
Now, I am planning on opening another savings account under another bank. And I was thinking of transferring the 3.5k into there. But I realised that it would appear on my bank statement which they'll see when accessing the 4.5k. I need to transfer it in the least dodgy way possible. I could do small increments but it has to be transferring within the next 2-3 weeks and I don't think that's enough time. What are my options please?
Also please don't tell me that it's my money and I can say no and leave. My family is incredibly toxic and it's best to stay on their good side. I am happy with transferring 4.5k to them as long as they don't hate me and try to make my life hell for the next 2-3 years I have left with them. If I refuse to cooperate, I could be left in a dangerous situation.
Thank you in advance.
