What to do if I’m 18 and was kicked out of my parents house 2 months ago but they still will not give me my personl belongings?

When I left they said I can come pick up all of my stuff when I can. Well now they are saying that I’m only allowed to get a box of my things; my parents said that I am not allowed to have my TV, playstation or bed. These items where given as a gift to me about 3 years ago. Am I legally allowed to have these items or no?

If the items you desire are actually your own property then under the laws of all states in this country your parents are required to allow you to retrieve such upon asking since you no longer reside at their home. If they are unwilling to do so, then your legal recourse if you want the items is to retain an attorney to assist you in getting them.
