<human>: I'm probably a shitty young adult, because I've never checked my credit before as I've had no reason, but I started house hunting with my boyfriend recently and decided to check my credit score last week. I was horrendously confused because it stated I had an open credit card with a bank I had an account with as a minor and my credit itself is absolute garbage. I've never applied for a line of credit in my life.  

After calling the bank which the card belonged to and hearing some of the charges on the card and how long it's been active, I can say without a doubt it's my mom. I lived with her briefly years ago and I think she stole mail from me and applied for a card, using the personal information at her disposal. I've filed a case with the fraud department of the bank and I'm waiting on a call back from the police so I can file a report. I'm waiting to contact experian until I can provide them with a police report. 

What I'm struggling with is the feeling of utter dread I can't shake. The woman who raised me betrayed me in such a serious and multifaceted way. She has a history of drug-use and mental illness, but I've never pictured her doing something like this. She's had the card for four years and I'm so frustrated and upset that I didn't catch it  sooner and that things got so out of hand. She's also come to ask me for help with money, a place to stay, etc, very recently, all while knowing she'd purposefully robbed me. I'm in a state of numb disbelief.

I need help figuring out how to handle this situation on an emotional level (advice about handling the financial aspect is welcomed too.) I'm lost, feeling like the imaginary figure I made up as my mother died and I'm left with the hull of a thieving stranger and fading memories of better days. I don't know what I did to deserve this. I just want my mom back, but she's long-gone. I'm not sure how to deal with any of this. Thanks for reading.

Can you provide a brief overview of the text?
