This will clearly be an unpopular opinion, but I’m with your grandparents, mostly. They are your guardians right now. Your mom is unfortunately unreliable and maybe not trustworthy. You didn’t tell anyone they could trust that you were ok. They are deeply scared that you will face the same issues as your mom.
Your grandparents could have asked your mom. But she’s effectively sick right now, and not reliable. Your grandparents could try to talk more and control less. It sounds like you could also try to communicate better. Frankly, a family therapist sounds like they could be helpful in improving your family’s communication.
Experiencing some social embarrassment because your grandparents love you is far from the worst thing in the world. And they clearly love you.

i think the worst part for me is that they called my brother, who lives nowhere near us but still has my location on iphone. and he told them where i was and that i was fine, because we had a conversation about all of this and we tend to talk every night. yet they still chose to do what they did. they are not scared of me ending up like my mom, they threaten me with it, but i really do love my mom and i’m proud of how far she’s come especially considering the things they’ve done to her for much longer than they have me.
