Today, I overheard mom talking about how my youngest sister was the only one who used the money from the insurance settlement from my dad's death responsibly. I was in my first semester of college when she cashed in mine for a vacation. I had to drop out. FML

Sorry, the limits on number of characters made my description a bit light on details. Dad was killed in a car accident and the insurance co of the driver of the vehicle who hit him paid out a settlement. The amount is really none of your business, but the principal plus returns between settlement and when I started to draw it was enough to cover tuition only for 4+ years. Money was placed in trust for each of us- all of us with mom as custodian, as we were minors. At that time, unless the minor changes/removes the custodian when they turn the age of majority, the custodian remains indefinetly. Mom cashes in fund and when I come home for christmas break to get the portion of the money for second semester tuition, says she used the money on a vacation for herself and my loser stepdad. Later I found out she invested it, made a killing and kept it all. She didn't want to put HER money on the line- in case the investment didn't work out. I even got to pay taxes on the capital gains!! I continued attending college until my SAVINGS was gone and LOANS I qualified for didn't cover expenses (mom was loaded from her part of the settlement and life insurance so I didn't qualify for much) I dropped out. DECADES later, I overhear her telling someone in our family that my youngest sister is the only one who used the money wisely from the settlement. Apparently, she has been telling everyone that I pissed my part of it away. Hope that clarifies. I guess having a college education would have given me the skills to change the second "she" to "mom".

"Today, I overheard mom talking about how my youngest sister was the only one who used the money from the insurance settlement from my dad's death responsibly.

The last "she" he talks about is his sister, therefore the next "she" he talks about has to be his sister also, if not he would have to confirm it was his mother. On topic, FYL man that sucks majorly, you should have taken her part of the insurance and her savings to cover it. Screw what she wants to do, she's had her fun. Even if you can't get back into the college now still take the money.

Sue your deadbeat mom/sister/whoever spent your money. If you can't than you probably went on the vacation with them. Any way you go off this you will be good to go. Minus you might not have family after because they may have to go to jail. Well FYL indeed.

D: !!! What kind of mom is THAT?! Despite her being your mom and everything, you should definitely call her out on her asshole-move. I'm sorry to say, but she's an absolutely horrible mother.

And why, pray tell, didn't you take it to court? I say YDI for not fighting to get your STOLEN money back.

I did contact a lawyer and because I didn't have her name taken off the account when I turned 18, I had no legal recourse.

Keep this in mind when picking her nursing home.

Oh my god OP I'm really sorry to hear that but if she invested YOUR money and made more surely you can sue for a reasonable portion but you don't sound too bitter which makes you 20 times better than your thief of a Mum
