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

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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.

You are in Texas. Tell your mum that mediums are the devil!

Yeah, because all Texans are religious zealots. That's not an ignorant assumption at all. >.>

Fml that people in 2012 still believe in this crap, as well as enough to throw away money.

You do not know any real mediums. They are either lying, or fooling themselves. There is absolutely *no* scientific evidence that says otherwise. Tell your magical friends they can use their "evolved spiritual state" to claim the cash prize from the James Randy Educational Foundation if they can prove they have powers.

Whole new meaning to barking up the wrong tree.

Dipping into your savings was a lousy move. But if you think a college education is worth what it costs in the US today, you're not much smarter than your mother.

Ok, so I don't think anyone has mentioned the obvious here... OP can and take out student loans yes it sucks and yes OP's mother has lost her mind for dipping into the college fund for this but with the way college tuition is these days OP most likely needs the loans anyway so OP needs to talk to her mother and salvage what's left of the fund take out those loans and get an education and start her future

I have to agree with you. Mediums are entertainment, and if the customer is too stupid to realize that, it's not the entertainer's fault! No different from somebody who frequents a strip club who thinks one of the strippers actually likes them.
