Today, I found out my mom took around $2,500 from my savings account to pay off my sister's college tuition. She recently flunked out of her studies and won't be returning to college anyway. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.

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, my mom decided to go against every promise she's made to everyone once again and left us in financial ruin. How? She took advantage of my kindness, and didn't pay any of the money she owes me for driving my car, and for so much more. I'm more than $2,000 in debt now. FML

Today, my mom cleaned out my bank account, saying my "no-good dad" owes her child support and that she'll get it one way or another. FML
Today, after months of helping my mother with bills because she claimed she had no money, I found out she makes way more than what I do. She just wanted my money for alcohol and drugs. FML

Moral of the story: your mom shouldn't have access to your savings account.

Why does your mother have access to your savings account? How old are you?

I'm guessing from the fact that your mom could access your account that she's been the one putting money into it often enough, in which case maybe be more grateful that she's helped when she can and be glad to be able to contribute now. Hopefully she'll help again when she can. Granted, if that was all money you'd earned yourself, then you should pursue legal measures to ensure she pays you back right away.

Okay if we're getting into the legality of her actions, even if she was the one putting the money into his savings account (his, meaning in his name). it's still illegal to take it back. you ever see that shit hold up in court? No, no you ******* don't. think

when I got my first savings account I was really young, so they had someone over 18 sign on with me and that was my mom, so she had full access to my account. It doesn't mean that their mom is putting money into it.

My parents were on my account but never put money in it for me. I had to have them on it when I got a job at the age of 16 due to being too young to do it myself. Don't just assume that OP didn't work hard for that money and that it's okay for the mother to take it

If we're getting into the legality of the actions, it's very likely that what OP's mom did was legal. Whether or not it was a douche move vs Douche Move! depends on the timing of the withdrawal compared to the reciept failure notice. Either way, lesson learned. Clear it out and open a new one in your name only.

My question is, did your mom take the money out recently and claimed it was for your sister's school so you know she's lying, or did she take it a while ago and you just found out after your sister flunked? Either way, fyl.

Now she owes you $2,500. No excuses.

You need to tell your bank to deny her access and make her pay you back

If I'm right about this not sure though. But tell the bank not to give money to your mom from your savings account or any account in your name. And if you can prove it you can sue her to get the money back.

Unless your mother's still listed as a cosigner on your account, if you're at least 21, you can probably sue.

Sorry but your mother or anyone except for maybe a husband/ wife shouldn't have access to your bank account(s)

Something like this deserves payback. Something evil. What she did is ****** up, so, like, stuff shit into the door handle of her car and stuff like that. You. Must Make. Her. Pay.
