I am 30 years old with my own home. Everything I can possibly think of, I have changed to my own address, but on account of having the same name and birthday as my father, plus using my parents' address until I was 24, mail sometimes shows up to my parents' place.
My dad is often out of town - but really for only 2-4 days at a time. My mom opens his mail. The problem is, my mom is prone to panic. Today she opened junk mail that made her think I'm $63,000 in credit card debt, and spent the day losing her shit and demanding I show her my accounts. (Not at all true, and I didn't show her.)
I have asked that she no longer opens mail addressed to my dad and I's name, because she will always freak out, and sometimes there might be something I don't want to share with anyone. She's refusing, and saying I must have something to hide.
What legal recourse do I have to report her for opening my mail? How severe will the reprecussions be?

Depending on where you live, it's probably illegal for her to open your/your dad's mail, unless he's told her that she can open his mail. The fact that you share a name is problematic though.
However, the repercussions will probably be next to nothing, and not worth taking it any further. You'd have to show some sort of damage, which there'd probably be none of.

>Share same name
Why the fuck did your parents name you after your dad if you guys have the same birthday? That just sounds so fucking dumb to me. I think there might be a fine

The damage is that she occasionally gets sensitive information intended for me. Presently, it hasn't caused anything more than dramatics, but there's always a chance it could damage my character, give her confidential information, access to my finances, etc.
She's prone to major breaks - she tried to unenroll me from school, she stole my car, she got two of my bank accounts locked... She has a weird desire to control.

Agreed, it's stupid, but they thought it was charming. My dad is a good guy though, no problems sharing his name.

That's not really damage though. It'd have to be something like a business deal somehow falling through. At most, you'd get exemplary damages, which would probably be pretty token.

That's cool that you're dad is chill. If your mom gets any access to sensitive info like bank accounts because of the mail, and locks your accounts again, sue the fuck out of her
