Today, I found my checking and savings account to both read $0.00. My parents transferred all my money to theirs because "I'm irresponsible, and not fit to handle money." I'm a 3.8 college student and have a full-time job. They are currently unemployed. FML

Today, I found out why I haven't been getting my bank statements for the past couple of months. My parents have been hiding them from me, because they've been stealing from it. FML

Today, I found out why my parents have been trying to convince me not to go to college this year. I also found out where the $20,000 they just spent on landscaping came from. My college fund. Which is now $0. FML

Today, I frantically told my parents that my bank account had no money. Turns out, they took the $1,600 I had saved up from a summer job and invested it in penny-stocks. I was grounded because they were "doing it for the family," and I'm being selfish. They also had lost it all in a matter of days. FML

Today, after weeks of allowing my parents to borrow money, I got a check for $2000. I took it to the bank only to find out it was fake. FML

Today, I'm 36 years-old, living with my parents, in debt. My mom always wants to solve my problems by giving me money, which she later claims as "borrowed", so now I'm highly in debt with the bank… and her. FML

Today, I found out that my parents used all of the college money I have been saving up for 8 years to buy a beach house. The reason they waited until now to tell me? A tree fell on it, and they need more money for repairs. FML

I would probably never talk to my mom again if she did that. Seriously ever. And I would sue her.

@ all the idiots saying he/she deserved it for sharing the account. There is such thing as identity theft you morons. It's more common with parents then you idiots know of. They can manipulate late you as they are your parents and that is practically a specialty of them. It's not that hard to get into a bank account when you know the SS number. In fact they can use your credit score when you are a child and ruin it before you know what a credit score is. If you want to act like high and mighty douchebags then at least be SMART! Seriously I never knew there were some many stupid people that can operate the internet until I read these comments. I mean this isn't like mentally handicapped stupid but it's too stupid to realize the phone isn't a calculator stupid.
