Today, I found out I'm on wage garnishment because my mother, who took out a student loan for me back in '05, didn't pay off the $2015 owed when she said she would. I got screwed over financially because of her. FML

Today, I found out my mom took around $2,500 from my savings account to pay off my sister's college tuition. She recently flunked out of her studies and won't be returning to college anyway. FML

Today, I told my mom I wasn't doing very good mentally and I was looking for some support. She decided to remind me of all of the things I still haven't paid her back for. I'm now an unpaid loan, not her daughter. FML

Remember the promise you made

Today, my mom decided to go against every promise she's made to everyone once again and left us in financial ruin. How? She took advantage of my kindness, and didn't pay any of the money she owes me for driving my car, and for so much more. I'm more than $2,000 in debt now. FML

Today, my mom cleaned out my bank account, saying my "no-good dad" owes her child support and that she'll get it one way or another. FML

Today, I found out that the $200 I reluctantly gave to my mother so she could rent a house was paid to a scammer. Now she wants to live with me, in my one bedroom apartment. FML

Today, my mother came over again to help me work on my Student Aid application. She also brought over the savings bonds that she has been accumulating since I was born to help pay for college. Turns out they won't reach maturity until I'm thirty. She never bothered to check out this fact. I'm screwed for college. FML

Today, my mother woke me up and asked to borrow money. Still groggy, I mumbled where my money stash was. She took all $300 and refuses to pay me back because I'm her son and I "owe" her. FML

Today, I found out that I owe my college a little over $10,000. Why? Because, due to a slight misspelling of my name, the scholarship that I have been going insane trying to meet the requirements for is not actually giving me any funding. FML

While she did dick you over by not doing what she said she would, you shouldn't be relying on your mother to take out student loans for you anyway. If you're old enough to go to college then you're old enough to fill out the paperwork for a loan.

So you're moaning because your mum didn't pay of YOUR debt? Boo Hoo.

2500? That's nothing? Grow up! Time to figure out what the real world is like. You're lucky it's not 25,000

2 grand is nothing. I'm not really looking forward to paying back my $10,000 loan.

To kick the dead horse, it is your responsibility to pay for college... Is is really nice that your mother offered to but whether or not she followed through on it, it's still your responsibility not hers and 2500 is nothing. Be greatful for your parents even caring enough about you to offer and suck it up. Right now not only am I in college and working two jobs, I am helping MY parents financially. So suck it up and be greatful for your lack of debt and your college education as well as your loving parents.

I wish my parents had even OFFERED to pay for my college. I can't really even feel slightly sorry for you that you have to pay for you own schooling, because most people do. If it is true your mom said she would pay for it and didn't , then yea, your life sucks because you have an unreliable mom, not because you have to pay for your own college.

I think this is only an FML if she offered to pay for it, didn't, and then hid the fact she didn't pay for it. If she wasn't going to pay for it she should have told you. Obviously you were making payments or it would have been a much larger bill.

She probably spent it on liquid meth.

If you didn't sign anything they shouldn't be able to garnish your wages :/ And if you did sign everything then it's your financial RESPONSIBILITY to keep up to date. So WAH, now you have to pay for your own schooling, like a lot of other people have to do. Grow up and shut up.

You are "screwed over financially" because you are giving up some of your wages from the job you got because of the education your mom helped you borrow money to pay for?
