Today, I found out that Yale had actually accepted me 17 years ago. My mother apparently burned my acceptance package and letters because she didn't want me to upstage her UChicago degree. FML

OP here. To the people who said I deserved it, my psychotic mother actually had the balls to craft a ******* rejection letter and mail it to me. I was sixteen and had never seen an authentic denial letter from Yale---you guys would've believed it, too, had you been in my shoes. To the people who keep bringing up e-mail: it was 1996. As my generation will tell you, we grew up without the internet. To the people who agree that my mom's a bitch, damn straight she ******* is. My daughters and son will not be seeing much of mee-maw anymore, nor will I. To the people who said I wouldn't be who I am today without that lie: Doesn't matter; parents are supposed to nurture their children, not deprive them for personal gain.

In some fields, University of Chicago is more prestigious than Yale. Maturity is not one of them.

I have an MD and masters and always push all of my 3 kids to complete their doctor in square degrees. I am sorry for you, but my specialty is not psychiatry to dissect your moms behaviour. However, I 1000% agree with these non-medical terms people posted. Cheers AAT

A mother would unlikely sabotage her son's admission. Psychologically speaking, most mothers tend to develop a competitive link with their daughters thus explaining this one's attitude. This link doesn't build the same way with boys.

That was extremely selfish and rude of her, OP. I'm sorry that you had to suffer that betrayal. Coming from a family member it makes you doubt your entire relationship. I don't blame you for distancing yourself from her; that sounds like a really smart move on your part.

I can't believe that a mother would do something like this! Insanity and total disgust.

What a bitch! Some people really enjoy screwing with their childrens' lives just because their own lives suck. This is not good at all.
