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.

Ugh that sucks!! I feel sorry for u, but I would be soo pissed if my dad did that! I'd confront him, definitely. Maybe theres a specific reason, other than he doesn't want to pay? Good luck w/that! : )

You might be wrong , did you comfront him about it ? Perhaps , he's just doing it so you don't leave home ?

This seems a bit... extreme. Not saying this isn't true, just saying your dad is a bit extreme- and perhaps a bit too desperate. o.o

If he didn't want to pay your tuition he could've just told you instead of overdoing it by sending you fake rejection letters. Plus, he probably knew you'd find out sooner or later.o.o

As a parent it's your responsibility to keep your kid safe and healthy. Not to take out a second morgage to make them happy. Just because you grew up with money doesn't mean everyone did. This thread is about the jackass father who fabricated the rejection letters not whether or not he would pay for college.
