Today, my mom started dipping into my college savings, just so she can continue throwing money away on visiting a medium who claims she can channel the spirit of our recently-deceased family dog. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I found out my mom has literally spent all her savings sending money to some bullshit-peddling megachurch televangelist, who apparently told her that giving them money would ensure her future fortune. Tithings, my ass. FML
Today, my mom started fundraising and selling things on eBay. At first I was happy because I thought she was finally going to help me pay my college tuition. Turns out she's planning on raising money to get our dog a new friend because she's "lonely." FML
Today, I called my mother to check up on her. Lately, she's been having some financial problems, so last week I sent her my last $100 to help her out until her next paycheck. She used the money to euthanize the family dog. FML
Today, my mother informed me that she sold my dog to pay off some bills. FML
Today, my mother took 350 dollars from savings to go to a psychic. But it's okay though, because now I know I'm an "ancient soul from another dimension". An "ancient soul" who now has no money. FML
Today, after being accepted into the college of my dreams, I found out that my mom has spent all my college savings on alcohol over the years, and she says that it's my fault for not "helping her get help." FML
Today, I found out my mom recently stopped taking her medication. I came home to find she'd shot my dog because she thought he was possessed by the devil. 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 my mom has been stealing from me to pay for Scientology courses. FML
Today, my mom told me she spent $760 on "quantum pendants" that "produce scalar energy that helps to enhance the body’s biofield." When I told her she got scammed, she denied it and yelled at me. Best part? She frequently lectures me about how I waste my money and spend irresponsibly. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Well, you mom could be in pain, or just crazy.

If your mother's seance leader was very short and disappeared without a trace, there would be a small medium at large.

Seems legit.

I can understand missing a recently deceased loved one but visiting a medium should be the last thing on her mind. If I were her, I'd spend a bit of cash on a memorial instead of throwing money away continuously to listen to a person talk as if he/she is speaking for the dead. Why are some people so stupid nowadays? Seriously -_-

Nowadays? People have been throwing money at "psychics" since the dawn of civilization.

I have been visited by the spirit of your dearly departed dog, your great grandma and Elvis. Please tell your mother to contact me immediately because I have incredibly important information for her. Make sure she has her credit card information ready.

I truly feel bad for OP's mom. Maybe she has a low iq and the "medium" is taking advantage of that. I know some people like that; and they are so naive, but very kind-hearted. It kills me to see when stupid people like that take advantage of ones who know no better. :(

Maybe she does not have a low IQ. Just some people when they're sad about a loss they want to believe in anything. I've never been to a medium and think they take advantage of people but I guess if I loss someone close to me I might believe in them.

You're right. I thought about that after I posted; but I still feel bad for someone who is willing to go so far to keep in touch with their dead animal. It's heartbreaking!

Yeah I love my dog so much and my entire family. But I wouldn't see a medium. And how would the dog even talk to her?

I think that money would be better spent on therapy.

I don't think believing means a low iq all of the time. People reach into anything when grieving. Just like with most mental illness, grieving can cause rational thought to go out the window. Maybe research techniques to help her cope. My dog I just lost was 17. It was hard. She was a huge part if my life so I can see how grieving for a pet can reach those extremes.

26- the little insults you made in your comment were unnecessary , and why would you care what she has to say in the first place? Everyone's entitled to their own opinion. And stop treating Noor like a god, she's not that popular, she's a regular person too y'know.

Damn Noor I've never seen so much controversy over a person's comments. I think I want to marry you... you can play as much Assassin's Creed as you want.
