I Share A Bank Account With My Guardian (she Helped Me Make It When I Was 17) And I Want To Move Out, Am I Entitled To Withdraw My Money As An Adult?

Location: WI

I'm 21 years old and am trying to move out. I've had my bank account since I was 17, my guardian helped me make it and is the co-owner of said account. We have an unwritten agreement where she doesn't touch my money aside from withdrawing roughly $300 a month for rent, so I'm curious if I'd be able to legally withdraw my money? All of the money in the account is money I've worked for over the course of a year and I'd like to become financially independent. (She works as well and is not financially dependent on anyone so she would be ok.)

She's a bit of a control freak as well so she receives an email every time I use my card for anything, and she doesn't want me using my money on things I want as well so I'm also afraid of the thought of her freezing my account if I try leaving to make me come back. I'm curious if she can legally withhold my money?

I'm way out of the loop on legal things so I apologize if this all sounds ridiculous and is a no-brainer kinda question, I just feel stuck with this feeling and thought I'd ask.
