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

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I found my checking and savings account to both read $0.00. My parents transferred all my money to theirs because "I'm irresponsible, and not fit to handle money." I'm a 3.8 college student and have a full-time job. They are currently unemployed. FML
Today, I found out why I haven't been getting my bank statements for the past couple of months. My parents have been hiding them from me, because they've been stealing from it. FML
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
Today, I found out why my parents have been trying to convince me not to go to college this year. I also found out where the $20,000 they just spent on landscaping came from. My college fund. Which is now $0. FML
Today, I frantically told my parents that my bank account had no money. Turns out, they took the $1,600 I had saved up from a summer job and invested it in penny-stocks. I was grounded because they were "doing it for the family," and I'm being selfish. They also had lost it all in a matter of days. FML
Today, after weeks of allowing my parents to borrow money, I got a check for $2000. I took it to the bank only to find out it was fake. FML
Today, I had to dig into my savings to help my parents pay for their divorce. FML
Today, I'm 36 years-old, living with my parents, in debt. My mom always wants to solve my problems by giving me money, which she later claims as "borrowed", so now I'm highly in debt with the bank… and her. FML
Today, I found out that my parents used all of the college money I have been saving up for 8 years to buy a beach house. The reason they waited until now to tell me? A tree fell on it, and they need more money for repairs. FML
Today, I found out that when my uncle died, he left me and the rest of my family £2000 each. Only my parents kept and spent my share on themselves. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

That's horrible! How dare they! You should sue them when they get back on their feet.

By law, if your under 18 it's their money. But that's ok, there's what's called Karma. When they are old and can't take care of themselves, you get to put them in a home.

Bring in the law. If it's good for anything, it's selfishness like this.

All these people saying that if he is under 18 he can't complain are retarded. Minors can have jobs and earn money too. And no, one's parents aren't entitled to that money. You don't owe your parents anything because it was their choice to have kids and therefore their choice to spend the amount of money it takes to raise said children.

I love how so many people are saying the OP shouldn't be bitching if they're a minor. I bet all of your wouldn't be saying the same thing if all your hard-earned cash got stolen from you by your own parents! Even if OP is a minor, if they earned the money themselves, it's theirs! Just because your parents brought you into this world doesn't mean your obligated to pay them back financially. You pay them back for all the wonderful years of growing up your did with them and creating fond memories. But I guess to most of you, life has a price tag on it.

Even though you might be under 18, your parents have control of your bankaccount. But you probably earned that money. FYL.

If my parents did that to me I'd break their legs. I'm not saying you should do that though - You should, however, take them to court and sue them - they stole from you, plain and simple.
