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.

Unfortunately, you need a co-signer for loans so it's not as simple as just getting some student loans. You might be able to file as an independent but you'd need to be making income and be at least 18. That is some seriously ****** up shit. Tell your mom or a relative about it.

You do *not* need a co-signer. At least, not always.

Actually, #101, to cover the full cost of education, YES, you DO need a cosigner. Federal loans only cover 5k of the 15-20k it costs to attend a state school (per year). Do you even live in the United States? WTF?

He shouldn't have to be paying your tuition.

I beg to differ. If you decide to procreate in this day and age when the vast majority of people who do not attend college are pretty ****** in terms of finding a decent job you DO have a responsibility to save and help pay for your child's tuition or AT LEAST co-sign on a student loan for them. Why would you bring a child into this world just to **** them over? People should only have children when they are ready in all respects, including financially, to provide a good life for their children. FYL OP. That's REALLY ****** up.

Dramakat, drop the drama. You act like it is impossible, or even *hard* to go to college without parental assistance. I took a double major and paid for it myself, and am working on my masters, and got my employer to pay for it. Take out a few loans, and get a job, and it is not that hard. Just don't take out *private* loans -- the federal ones are a much better deal and easier to get.

Your father is a jerk! He should have at least sat down and talked with you about how you were going to be paying for school and at least given you the option to find other ways to pay for it, rather than assume that he was going to be stuck with the bill. Also, If your father sent these "rejection letters" through the mail, he is in violation of various federal postal laws. If this were my father, I would move out, never trust him/speak to him again and would look into whether he is guilty of any postal crimes.

What a bastard. Thats like another one on here a while ago, some girl's brother kept her acceptance letters and wrote rejections as a joke and didn't tell her until it was too late to say yes to the school.
