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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I learned that my daughter pocketed the money I'd paid so she could go to college. FML
Today, after being accepted into the college of my dreams, I found out that my mom has spent all my college savings on alcohol over the years, and she says that it's my fault for not "helping her get help." FML
Today, I found out I'm on wage garnishment because my mother, who took out a student loan for me back in '05, didn't pay off the $2015 owed when she said she would. I got screwed over financially because of her. FML
Today, I discovered my own mother has been stealing money from me for months when I opened my savings box to find it empty. 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, 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, I found out that my parents are 28,000 dollars in debt and that my bank account has $27.17 in it. They took my money to help pay their debt. FML
Today, my mother asked me if she could borrow $200. Being the lovely daughter I am, I gave her my bank card to withdraw it herself. She gambled it away and maxed my bank account out. I had $1500 saved. 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.

I am so thankful that I do not have parents who have ever taken money from my savings/checking account. if they ever needed money they asked and paid it back. I don't understand why parents do that to their own child. She should have made your sister pay for it.

How did your mom get access to your money. And what a nasty mother to take from one daughter and give to the other in a thieving way.

You can make a linked account so that a parent can give (or take) money from that account without having to go through as much of a Hassel. Also allows parents to watch what their child is spending.

this is why when I turned 18 I took all my money out of the account that was linked to my parents and went to the bank across the street and got an account in only my name

You should get a separate account so she doesn't have access.

I will never understand why American banks don't have accounts that both parent and child can put into, but only child can withdraw from. Seems it would prevent a lot of this shit.

#38 they do you stupid ****. It's the type of account, the said person chooses

@44 I wasn't given that option when I opened my first account at 17. If I had to guess, I would say it depends on the bank.

Is this legal?

Sucks

This is considered a felony. No matter what. Price of stolen is above 1500

I'd imagine the idea was paying off current debt so that the flunked courses doesn't build up more cost in the long run, but there's no excuse for stealing that money.
