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.

Just today, my mother took the last of my money to pay for shit too. I don't even have a ******* job and she STILL does it. I wouldn't mind if it wasn't /all the time/, if I actually had a job, and if she wouldn't keep making fake promises about paying it back. Knew I should have moved in with grandma when I had the chance.

Everyone is a lawyer on here I guess. *laughs* Over $28,000? Yeah, I'd sue, and children can sue their parents. How the hell do you think kids get emancipated? I would also call the bank and ask WTH did they allow a withdrawal of that size to someone who doesn't own the account. Secondly, is a minor going to have 28,000? *laughs* I guess everyone on here must have a silver spoon in their mouth, and was born with tons of money so a 16 year old kid would have 28k. Thirdly, even if they are your parents they had no right to the money even if it was gifts and or you earned it. I cannot believe the moronic comments from the people on here half the time. Half the time they don't read the whole thing and the other half they think that their words are the greatest. *laughing* Lots of people like to hear themselves talk IMO. But I bet 1/2 are too afraid to spill the beans, but enjoy putting others down to make themselves feel better about their f'ed up lives. Oh, and in case you didn't know or don't bother to read... I don't come back and read comments left to me. So, whether you agree or disagree. Doesn't matter to me. I've said what I need to say. :D

if this guy is a minor, i dont think they're saying that they took out the whole 28k from his bank account He says that they /are/ 28k in debt, and they took his money out of his bank account to /help/ pay for it sadly that means hes down to $27 but yes, a minor can earn a couple thousand dollars by themselves from working, gifts, etc and when you dont have a real career, losing all that can be a big blow

When will you twats learn not to let other people have access to your bank accounts?

Move out and disown them as soon as you can or they will always be in your pockets. And generally they only get worse - more needy and more manipulative. Soon you'll be in debt for them.

To the people saying that he owed them more than that anyways, his parents owed their parents then, and op's kids he has in the future owe him. But if op's parents don't pay theirs back, op shouldn't pay them back. OP will probably spend plenty taking care of them in their old age anyways. FYL OP

If you're living with them and are under 18: don't worry about it. The same thing's happening with me, and I'm fine with it.
