My mom is threatening to report my car as stolen if I dont talk to her?

So I am a 28 year old adult and my relationship with my mom is toxic. Long story short she beat me a lot when I was a kid because she is Chinese and I was getting Bs. Then when I was 20 and got my driver's license she gave my my dad's old used car to drive.

That was 8 months ago. Ive been diagnosed with depression by a psychiatrist and he says it's because of my past abuse from an overbearing mom. I stopped talking to my mom and she tried to get relatives to call me and guilt me into unblocking her from my phone. Now she sends me an email saying she is going to report the old junk piece of crap Ive been driving as stolen because it's technically under her name as the owner even though I have been paying the insurance. The car's a 2005 honda accord with no autolocks or anything, probably worth 3 grand or so. I have over 15k in the bank can easily buy a used car to replace it but I would need to drive my car back to her house and park it there and meanwhile go car shopping and it will take a a few days, if not a few weeks. Would I seriously get arrested for grand theft just because my mom is trying to trap me into talking to her?

    If the title in not in your name, and she told you to return it, it IS stolen.

    You can RENT a car while you shop for a replacement.
