Today, my father stole the money I'd saved up by working and spent it all gambling. I'd saved it up for a year for a new car. FML

Today, the bank called saying we were late in the mortgage payments. I was puzzled because three months ago I issued a big cheque to my mum pay off the mortgage. I just discovered that she instead lost it all at the casino. Turns out, she's become a compulsive gambler ever since dad passed away. FML

Today, my sister finally broke down and told me that our dad gambled away of all my college savings, and I would have to pay for school the best way I can. They have known for months, and when I asked why nobody told me, the reply was, "You're a college boy, we thought you would figure it out." FML

Today, I finally told my dad that he owes me over 400 dollars, and that I need it or else I'd get kicked out of my apartment. He only gave me 70 and said to get a better job. FML

Today, my dad screamed at me because I've been "spending too much money". He's been out of a job for 4 months and I've been giving him 300 dollars a month to help pay for bills... and his beer. FML

Today, my dad asked to borrow some money off me, so I said okay. Later on, he told me he'll be using it to help divorce my mom. I pretty much just helped pay for my parents' divorce. 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

Press charges. That's theft, dad or no dad. Maybe some time in prison will sort him out. What a tool.

I don't know about you all, but I certainly trust my parents not to tap my bank accounts that they helped me set up when I was a teenager. They probably still have the information sitting around somewhere, but they don't go into my bank accounts and randomly use my money to pay their debts. Now, if my father was a raging gambler with a mean streak of bad luck, that would be a different story. I'd also be slightly irritated (read: enraged) if he hid his addiction and then used my accounts that I trusted him with to pay off his debts. I would also press charges, and possibly disown him. FYL. Press charges. Disown him.

My parents have no access to my accountds and I'm only 23 with a full time job. Don't trust anyone especially with money. Can't you press charges and recover its worth it

I love these types of FMLs.. Parents clean or take a significant amount from their Kids' banking account, OP is ******, several posts indicating how the OP deserves it for giving their parents access.. So you people are okay with parents taking thousands of dollars from somebody's account to cover a debt?

You're getting married in five months and your parents still have access to your account? That totally sucks, but I think it's time to take them off the "allowed list".
