Just needed to vent about my unfair parents

My husband is always asking my dad via text when can we talk personally about the money that my mom should've given back to us, he's texting my dad because according to them my mom doesn't have a cellphone anymore. You know what he said? "Ang alam ko may sinabi kayo na masama kay mama kaya iniipit nya kayo" (All I know is that you said something hurtful to mama that is why she won't give your money back) and "Kung ano ang iniisip nyo sa kanya gagawin nay talaga" (Whatever you think of her she will do) So if I think that she's good and will return our money will she do it? Hmm.. Is is wrong to ask "bakit parang ang hirap naman kunin ng pera namin?" (Why is it hard to take back our own money?) And they say the issue now is the 'irrespectful' things we said and not the money. My mom & dad always point out that they are mature & professionald, well if they are really professionals, can't they handle a situation without using their feelings as shield?! Professionalism aside, is it right not to give back the money that doesn't belong to you because you're hurt? My husband almost got sick trying to save the money worth Php150,000 which we entrusted to her one year ago still she doesn't want to give it back. I know one of my sisters is a mylot member too and upon reading my posts for sure she will relay this to my mom. My other siblings hate it when true and bad things / habits about my mom are being told to other people. Of course they will take her side and not remain neutral because she's still the one paying for almost all their expenses even though they are older than me. I really don't know what to do, I'm slowly loosing the respect I have for them. Mother's always hope for the best for her children, true but in every rule there is always an exception.

i agree yours points,i even have the same experience in past years of my childhood. whiles doing something as possible as my parent's expection,then i am not be informed or communicated something whether i want to do or not.so,i hope that please my parents give us more and more private space and time to free develop myself.in this way,the relation of child and parent's will be become harmoniousness.

Thanks for replying. What hurt me the most is that my mother used my money and lent it to someone without telling me first. Now I don't know if that someone already paid her and she just won't give my money back.
