Today, I found out that Yale had actually accepted me 17 years ago. My mother apparently burned my acceptance package and letters because she didn't want me to upstage her UChicago degree. FML
OPhere tells us more.
OP here. To the people who said I deserved it, my psychotic mother actually had the balls to craft a ******* rejection letter and mail it to me. I was sixteen and had never seen an authentic denial letter from Yale---you guys would've believed it, too, had you been in my shoes. To the people who keep bringing up e-mail: it was 1996. As my generation will tell you, we grew up without the internet. To the people who agree that my mom's a bitch, damn straight she ******* is. My daughters and son will not be seeing much of mee-maw anymore, nor will I. To the people who said I wouldn't be who I am today without that lie: Doesn't matter; parents are supposed to nurture their children, not deprive them for personal gain.

What a selfish bitch

In some fields, University of Chicago is more prestigious than Yale. Maturity is not one of them.

Psychotic bitch. I don't see how anyone could hit the YDI, unless they're on a mobile and simply missed. I hope there will be no more visits to the crazy lady.

Your mother is awful. I think it's right not letting your kids see her anymore.

Sounds like mom deserves that third rate nursing home with the 1 star Yelp reviews when she gets old...

Your mom's a bitch . Internet became a thing in 1991. I get tired of people around my age saying "we didn't grow up with it" we did just not everyone used it regularly. Some of us did a lot.
