Personally I would go to the Police. This will ensure the friend is dealt with for the threats and will mean your ex is exposed for being a benefit thief.
It may come up that money was given to you and if it is seen that you were involved with the benefit fraud you may have to pay that back, but if you have acted honestly, all evidence will suggest that so you have nothing to fear.
You may find your relationship with your mother becomes unpleasant, but you truly will be doing the right thing to put an end to this drama.
Too much drama, it's definitely MENTAL issue I can't deal with it right now, have to leave. sorry!
That's seriously messed up if your mum is siding with a man shes been dating and not her own daughter! if he gave you the money willingly and you didn't even ask then hes in the wrong for accusing you of asking for it. but the thing is, if he did something like prosecute you for stealing the money and it's your word against his, your moms and his friend for instance then you might have to give it back. you could report him for being a benefit thief, i don't know how much you dislike him, but i hope you don't mind me asking, you went out with a guy that was 28 years older than you? he could be your dad...
the benefits agency wil conduct an investigation then tell im to pay the money back and/or give him a prison sentence
i cant believe what your mum has done i would not even waste anytime talking to her
go to the police note his threats and what he says to you
he chose to give you money that is not the same as theft
i dont know what else to advise you apart from go to the police nad maybe contact a solicitor
all the best
