Today, I borrowed my dad's laptop to type an essay. While I was saving it, I noticed some curious looking files and I opened them. They were rejection letters from all the colleges I had applied to. My dad had been forging them so he wouldn't have to pay for my tuition bills. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I found out that my dad, thinking it was an advertisement, threw away a letter from the college I applied to. FML
Today, I realized that when my dad said he would pay for my college, he really meant that he was going to forge my signature on a student loan in my name and not make payments on it. FML
Today, I was cleaning my father's study room and wondering why I did not receive my acceptance/rejection letter from a college I really wanted. I found the acceptance letter, on his desk, also approving of a full scholarship. The deadline to confirm was a month ago. FML
Today, I finally finished typing up a story I had been working on for about 7 months, saved it on my computer and left to hang with friends. Came home later to find my dad had sold my laptop in order to pay his phone bill. My hard work is now gone. FML
Today, I found out that 15 years ago my father threw out my college acceptance letters so that I could stay home and take over the family's funeral home business. FML
Today, I received yet another rejection letter from a college I'd applied to. After crying for a week about how lousy I felt, my older sister gave me all 6 of the acceptance letters she'd been hiding. Turns out she's been forging rejection letters and keeping the real ones in her room. FML
Today, I left for college. I spent hundreds of dollars on clothes, bedding and other things. After packing my entire closet and everything else I needed, I left only to have to head back home. My dad forgot to pay the first semesters tuition. He said "Oh well, you would have failed out anyway." FML
Today, I borrowed my adopted mom's laptop and found out that either her, my dad, or both of them, have been trying to research legal ways of un-adopting me and giving me back to the foster care system. FML
Today, I found out that the person sending me secret love letters was actually my dad, who felt sorry for me. FML
Today, I got a computer. When I opened it, I found out that my dad had made himself the administrator. He made it so everything shut off after 11 o'clock, and made it so I couldn't download anything without his password. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Asshole, he should of told you he couldn't afford them so you had time to get a job and to apply for some scholarships. Sorry that your dad is a coward and a selfish bastard (assuming he didn't just lost his job) but then he wouldn't have enough time to forge them. pre-meditated bastardness.

Fake. None of the colleges you applied to let you check you admission status online? And what's the reason for their rejection? Unless your grades are pretty shit that you expect them to reject you.

The Dad made the rejection letters. Also assuming the dad threw away the acceptance letters, you would need to find your student ID # and Pin to log in to check your acceptance status.

While I agree you should be able to check the status online, the OP might not have gotten the info since apparently her dad is trying to keep her away. But just because you have good grades, you might not be accepted into schools. Trust me, I'm a 4.0 unweighted and I got rejected from my top school simply because there's many people competing for few spaces. And they don't have to tell you why they rejected you.

not all colleges has the admission status online. some of them will only mail it.

You could be surprised how many D student idiots apply for many colleges and never get into any. Just because you scraped by in high school doesn't guarantee college, even clown college. Plus, why check online when you've already been rejected?

If this is true, it sounds soo intense, and un-Asian.

What does being Asian have to do with anything here? :/

And why would your dad do that? He is not obligated to pay your tuition, you know? Stop bitching and get a part-time job and get student loan like everybody else!

Obviously there's nothing wrong with not paying a child's tuition, the problem is with the fake rejection letters. If you think you've been rejected from everywhere then you don't have the student loan option, do you? What's wrong with you people?

@Melo, OP must have expected his dad to pay his tuition, or else why would OP's dad waste his time designing letter heads, writing fake rejection letters if it's not his responsibility?

Here's a novel idea, how about you pay for your own ******* education like all the non-rich people in my country? Hello student loan!

I bet she would have IF SHE KNEW SHE WAS ACCEPTED INTO COLLEGE

Student loans are selling your sould. Sounds like something my dad would do because he's that cheap

I bet you can get your dad into all sorts of legal trouble for that. Talk to a lawyer? That's really a miserable thing, what he did. It's never too late to try again.

Good idea! I'd say sue him for all he's worth but that wouldn't be much...

OP's father should have told her she was accepted to the schools so that she could apply for financial aid. My parents haven't put much toward school itself, but I've been lucky to have them help with other things when I needed it. But a father forging rejection letters? What a jerk. So, OP, FYL
