Mom Has Been Using My Debit Card To Buy Items On Amazon.

As the title says, I recently found out my mom has been using my money in a bank account I don’t really use to purchase items on Amazon. For reference, this card was on her Amazon prime account from when I was 15/16 and got my first bank account and bought stuff on her account. Anyways, I went to use her Amazon account to look at a previous purchase and noticed my debit card was listed under a $45 purchase that I did not make. Brought it to her attention and she said “Oh that must’ve been a mistake I’ll pay you back”. At that point I was like yea, must’ve been a mistake but then I went ahead and looked at all of the Amazon purchases made for the year of 2025 and it totaled up to around $527 unauthorized purchases just for the year 2025. I haven’t checked previous years. She said she would pay me back and it must’ve been a mistake again and she doesn’t know how that happened and at the time I was very understanding. It’s not like I’m hurting for the money. She said she would pay me back in increments because she can’t give that much before the holidays I was like that’s fine. And life continued on. 2 days later my dad mentions how his truck that I have been using frequently for the past 2 weeks needs new tires and I “owe him” 500-1k for these tires. That is a whole other issue in itself because how do I owe u 1k for tires on a truck I don’t own and have been using frequently ONLY for 2 WEEKS because he was away and my mom was sick so I was using it to do all of the chauffeuring for my younger siblings and shopping for the house. Mind u I purchased all the gas for it too while using it. ur telling me in the lifetime of those tires I owe u half for using the vehicle for 2 weeks… anyways, I then said “well mom owes me $527 because she used my card without my permission to buy things on amazon” and he gave her a look until he said “we will call it even because of those tires” to which my mom smiled because she didn’t need to pay me back. This set me ablaze and made me want to bite heads. In theory what could I do in this situation?
