Today, my dad had something to tell me. He'd cleaned out my bank account to pay off 38,000 dollars worth of gambling debt. My wedding is in 5 months. FML

I second what #1 said - how come your dad has access to your account? If you're an adult, I thought you automatically became the main person in charge of the account and no one else could access it. Unless he stole your credit card or something? Either way, FYL for sure

What a douche bag. You call THAT a dad?

That's awful. 1) share your bank accounts with nobody. Absolutely nobody. 2) have a modest wedding - shoot for the 3-digit range. A good opportunity to not feed the Wedding Industry.

Where do you live that you can have a wedding in the 3-digit price range? I can't even find a LOCATION for under $1000, and we've just got too much family to cram into our little one bedroom apartment. That's why I'm planning so far in advance (wedding is late may/early june of 2012) plenty of time to save up for it cause we couldn't afford to have anyone there otherwise, and I really want to have our families there.

Where do *you* live? We got the location for the wedding, and the reception for 300 people for a little under $500 total for both. Add $25/plate for catered food/cake and you are still talking a cheap wedding. Not 3 figures, but not bad, either. Drop the catering and go buffet style and you can go about $12/head to feed everyone.

Wow. Nice. Maybe I'll have my wedding somewhere far away from home. Plane tickets and a hotel would probably be less than what I'd spend otherwise.

In what hick town do you live? I was planning a wedding last year in Florida, and NOWHERE, I mean NOWHERE, could I do a reception for 300, including catering, for less than $6k. Location, music, food, cake, flowers, decor, dress, tuxedo, shoes, accessories. Unless you want to get married in a pair of jeans and barbeque in your mom's backyard, that shit isn't cheap. It amazes me that instead of focusing on the fact that his father STOLE from him (and it is a him. One person called him a 'she' and everybody followed along) you are giving him shit for wanting to have a nice wedding. Are you kidding??? There are some seriously effed up people on this site!

seriously effed up people on this site? first of all, duh. secondly, you just made yourself sound like a pretentious douche bag with all that expensive wedding shit so you're not really in a position to judge the moral character of others. seriously, **** you. there are so many people in this world that don't have anything and you're ridiculing someone for not wanting to spend thousands on one day of their life. i hate you.

YDI for not having your own bank account.

YDI for sharing your bank account with anyone.

Unless his father impersonated him, or otherwise committed a crime by taking the money by lying -- no. The vast majority of these "FML" stories boil down to the parent/sister/brother was granted access by the account owner -- giving them the full legal right to do any transaction they wish.

I don't get how everybody is assuming (notice the first 3 letters of that word spell 'ass') that the OP either a) gave his sperm donor access to his acount or b) had a joint account with the above mentined douche bag. He said nothing about anything of the sort, but here you all go jumping on the ASSume wagon! I would be more willing to bet that the DB had his son's SS# and DOB (which he would have since he was the "father" and I use that term loosely). My guess (notice I said "guess" not ASSumption) is that DB sperm donor committed identity theft, fraud and grand larceny by illegally accessing his son's bank account. OP should press charges ASAP. He shares DNA with his son, but that is as far as it should go. And to the idiots who said his father raised him, therefore he "owed him": Please do the world (and any potential children)
