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.

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

Not fair, but what's done is done. Your choice if you want to continue a relationship with your mother, because it's very understandable if you don't. However, if she was trying to confess this to you after all this time, maybe it's worth putting all this behind you -- after all, she is your mother

Burn your mother because you don't want her to upstage YOU as a parent......

now it leaves you to question what else she had done in the past. how man times she sabotaged something so you didn't look better than her.

I refuse to believe this. It's absolutely infuriating. FYL.

Why don't colleges also send out emails when you get accepted? It would prevent things like this and could potentially save paper if they stop sending out physical letters.

Seventeen years ago, I think it would traditionally have been done via letter rather than email.
