Go fund this

Today, I found out the fund-raiser my uncle ran to raise money for his cancer treatment was all a sham, that he doesn't even have cancer, and that the money was to fund a coke habit nobody knew he even had. FML

Today, I found out that my mother, who's been against me seeking treatment for my cancer, has been going to different churches and charities to get donations for her "poor ailing daughter." I've not seen a dime of this money, and my mom just tells me to pray my cancer away. FML

Today, I found out my father has been saving money to help me buy my first car. In the same conversation, I found out my mother, unbeknownst to my dad, used nearly all of the money to bail my drunken, deadbeat uncle out of jail for the fourth time a month ago. He's now back in prison. FML

Today, my town had a carnival to raise money for cancer. I ran a kissing booth, when a really cute guy came up paid his $20, looked at me, and said "not even for cancer." He took his money and left. FML

Pretty sure 4 was joking; I thought it was funny. Although he must've been buying a lot of soda if he was doing a whole fundraiser for it!

It really is so sad. I say F his life too. I imagine he felt awful while doing it and this definitely isn't how he imagined his life would be. Addicts are literally slaves to their drug. It's so sad and horrible. I hope your family can get him help op!

Ok, I seriously hope you're not defending him for this. The guy needs to take responsibility for his actions.

I wouldn't call it defending, but I grew up with an alcoholic father, and I know that having an addiction completely alters the person, and they don't even realize it. And quitting is extremely tough. So even though what he did wasn't okay by any means, I actually feel some sympathy for him, just because I know what it's like.
