Today, I borrowed my dad's laptop to type an essay. While I was saving it, I noticed some curious looking files and I opened them. They were rejection letters from all the colleges I had applied to. My dad had been forging them so he wouldn't have to pay for my tuition bills. FML

Today, I realized that when my dad said he would pay for my college, he really meant that he was going to forge my signature on a student loan in my name and not make payments on it. FML

Today, I was cleaning my father's study room and wondering why I did not receive my acceptance/rejection letter from a college I really wanted. I found the acceptance letter, on his desk, also approving of a full scholarship. The deadline to confirm was a month ago. FML

Today, I finally finished typing up a story I had been working on for about 7 months, saved it on my computer and left to hang with friends. Came home later to find my dad had sold my laptop in order to pay his phone bill. My hard work is now gone. FML

Today, I received yet another rejection letter from a college I'd applied to. After crying for a week about how lousy I felt, my older sister gave me all 6 of the acceptance letters she'd been hiding. Turns out she's been forging rejection letters and keeping the real ones in her room. FML

Today, I left for college. I spent hundreds of dollars on clothes, bedding and other things. After packing my entire closet and everything else I needed, I left only to have to head back home. My dad forgot to pay the first semesters tuition. He said "Oh well, you would have failed out anyway." FML

Today, I went searching for my old school laptop only to find that my stepdad had swiped it and given it to his mother. My sex tapes and nudes are on it. FML

Asshole, he should of told you he couldn't afford them so you had time to get a job and to apply for some scholarships. Sorry that your dad is a coward and a selfish bastard (assuming he didn't just lost his job) but then he wouldn't have enough time to forge them. pre-meditated bastardness.

Don't worry about it, eventually it'll be up to you to decide if you want to pay for him to stay in a nursing home, keep him on the ventilator, etc...

I think the OP should stick with the community college (if that is what they're doing now) get the gen eds done the cheap way. Then transfer to the expensive university and finish there. It actually does save a lot of money. Financial aide is always an option too! I get it cuz my family is poor :D If I were you I would bitch slap your dad sooooo hard! **** that! No one should ever miss out on life in a university and the dorms are always awesome!

If he can't afford the tuition he should just tell you, not fake rejection letters. You can always apply for financial aid and student loans. Don't let him stop you from getting a good education.

I don't get it. Why would he be expected to pay for *your* education?

It's not expected, but he doesn't wants to admit he's not planning on paying for it, so instead of telling their kid to work or get loans, they took the asshole way out by using fraud instead.

Right -- but why should he have to explain that he, as the father, is not paying? Is the submitter a spoiled, entitled brat or something? Dad should not have to say a word -- as his paying should not be expected.

#89 - Are you a ******* idiot? Most parents pay for their kids' education. It's a reasonable expectation from society. Parents who can't afford it may feel uncomfortable admitting so. While it's perfectly okay to pay for your own education, don't you dare rag on people whose parents actually care enough to put away money for them! Ever heard of class envy? You've got a bad case of it.
