Family situation, need some advice

[ClaytonN]

I've had a truck since age of 16. It was my granddad's old truck, and I've owned it but my mom has owned the insurance and such.

In mid May (day of HS graduation) the parking brake on my truck snapped out of place and the truck rolled down the driveway and hit a tree, making a huge dent in the bumper.

I'm never going to use the truck during the school year bc I'll be a freshman in college, and fixing it now would be a big hit to my net worth going into the college year (cost $350, I have about $2100). The family will be using my truck during the school year, I think. Next summer I'll have more money and will actually be using my truck in the fall at UGA, so fixing the bumper then seems more reasonable.

Unfortunately, the way with everything my mom and stepdad give me, is that every "gift" is conditional. My truck, my cell phone, the cell phone service, are all taken hostage when we have a disagreement. In essence these "gifts" aren't even mine, I'm just using them from my parents under the condition that I *obey*.

Well, I'm going to college now and I think that is horse [censored].

My mom insists I pay for this bumper before college starts or she will sell my truck. I am tired of my possessions from their side of the family being used as a leverage point.

What's my line?
