Grandmother And Mother Want To Institutionalize Me

Card image cap

Hi! I'm 27M from Meridian, MS. I have hypopituitarism and secondary adrenal insufficiency. My mother is a travel nurse. All my life, they have told me I will never live alone, and I spoke to my endocrinologist and he gave me the green light that I could. However, my grandma is seeing me take care of things by myself. Paperwork, cooking, etc and she told me today "I hope you're not hoping to move out of here because ha, me and your mother talked and she said if you did any stupid shit like that, she would take guardianship of you and put you in a group home." I even called APS on my grandma a month ago and they did nothing, so what can I do here? I am not legally dependent on anyone. Does anyone have any advice of what to do or how I would go about getting a lawyer if they do try to institutionalize me?

Location: Meridian, Mississippi

Update: Thanks to everyone for their suggestions. Next time she is out, I'm paying an Uber to take me to the bank and ask about my SSN, closing my account there and opening another at another bank
