Thievery

Today, I checked my bank account that I've been saving money in since I was a kid for college. I have $100 left out of the $10,000 I had last month. Apparently my parents thought buying a pool and an HDTV for themselves was more important than my college education. FML

Today, my sister finally broke down and told me that our dad gambled away of all my college savings, and I would have to pay for school the best way I can. They have known for months, and when I asked why nobody told me, the reply was, "You're a college boy, we thought you would figure it out." FML

Today, I left for college. I spent hundreds of dollars on clothes, bedding and other things. After packing my entire closet and everything else I needed, I left only to have to head back home. My dad forgot to pay the first semesters tuition. He said "Oh well, you would have failed out anyway." FML

That sucks. Hope you had a backup plan. Gambling is addictive, something that large, he needs therapy to let it go.

Yikes, that sucks, OP. Maybe you should make an agreement with your dad that if he earns back all that money, and makes a court date to regulate his own access to that money, you will set aside a small fund for him whenever he gambles. This isn't something you should be required to do, but it may keep his hands off your money, and it will also limit his spending at the casinos. Really sounds like a serious addiction. He may need counseling for addiction recovery.

Today, I arrived at a camp and met one of my roommates. At bedtime, I had energy still, so I did push-ups. The guy was asleep or so I thought because he was facing the wall. The guy thought I was jacking off and told everyone I did it in the middle of our room. FML
