can my mom file a missing persons report on me because I am not giving her my address? (i’m 20) details below?
my mom is threatening to file a missing persons report &get the authorities involved if I don’t give her my address. I am an adult so is this something that she can really do&even if she does would I get in any trouble bc I haven’t done anything wrong? 6 months ago I left home bc,had returned home from college&immediately felt like **** being home so decided to move out. my dad is abusive & so is my brother &my mom continually makes excuses for them I told her that it’s not OK & that is enabling abusive behavior. she refuses to accept responsibility &still to this day tries to force me to be around them i’ve even told her she can continue to be around them but at least don’t drag me into it &she just flips situation around on me&says that I am trying to control her&has started treating me as if I have something wrong with me. she thinks that I am going to kill myself even though I have told her I am doing well many times i’ve even had friends try &talk to her&explain that nothings wrong w me and I don’t need to be treated like a patient but she is like brainwashed or crazy at this point idk she texts me constantly even though I told her to please leave me alone so many times already she keeps asking for my address even though I already told her I don’t feel comfortable with her knowing where I live because The last time I gave her my address at the previous house I lived at she threatened to come and visit multiple times even though I told her she was not welcome to come.

Your mom can file the report, but when the cops find you, they can't give her your address without your consent, since you left on your own and are legally an adult.
Now, you might have an issue if your mom hires a private investigator.

I would think most likely not.

What you should do is go down to the police station and show them proof you are an adult and tell them about your situation and tell them if your mother calls, you don't want to have any contact with her whatsoever. That should take care of the situation for you.

File a restraining order, explain your situation to the police.
Legally at 18 you're on your own.
Tax wise she can claim or vice versa you until you're 24 that's about it.
You fit the mold of a child of toxic parents.
You should be proud you can make it on your own without them.
They may threaten to cut you out of the will or cancel Christmas, or use guilt.

Let her file the report. When the police find you, tell them you don't want any contact with her. They'll leave you alone and tell her. Stay as far away from this nut job as you can for your own safety. You may have to get a restraining order to limit her ability to contact you. In fact, that might be the best idea to do first.

She can file a report, although if the conditions are as you say, she'd have o spice it up with a fib or two in order to get most police departments to investigate. Should that happen, they would investigate and, should they find you, they would talk to you briefly, find out you're fine and it's your choice to live by yourself and report to her that they've found you and you're ok. They would not give her your address and she''d be advised not to file any future missing reports on you or she could be arrested for filing false reports. You're an adult and, as such, can decide on how you wish ro live.

You won't get into trouble, she might though, that's filing a false report which takes time and resources away from people who actually need it.

None of those details were necessary. Your mother can file a missing person's report, but if you're 20 and simply don't want her to know where you live, her report will be ignored.

At 20 you are considered an adult and don't have to give your address to her. She can try to file a missing person report, but if she tells them the whole story they won't do anything about it because she's been in touch with you on the phone and you're definitely not missing. The police may talk to you, but you can tell them your side and they will leave you alone. They can't force you to return or be in contact with her.
