Today, and throughout the past week, my electricity, water, cable, and Internet were progressively shut off. Why? Because my deranged mother-in-law has been stealing the money orders I use to pay my bills out of my mailbox. She also stole the late notices because she didn't want me to be "mad". FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I have an egregious delinquent neighbor. She is always using internet and electrical services illegally, but is always getting packages from Amazon. Her packages are always left at my place, as she is so afraid of tax collectors, she won't open the door. She gave my billing address without my consent. FML
Today, I found out why I haven't been getting my bank statements for the past couple of months. My parents have been hiding them from me, because they've been stealing from it. FML
Today, I discovered my own mother has been stealing money from me for months when I opened my savings box to find it empty. FML
Today, my ridiculously paranoid mom was almost arrested after she caused a huge scene outside her apartment's leasing office. She demanded to pay her rent with a money order, even though they’re only accepting online payments due to the quarantine. She thinks they’re trying to steal her information. FML
Today, my mother called me "wasteful" because I left the refrigerator door open and that "electricity money doesn’t grow on trees." This is the same person who lets my little sister have her light on all night, because she’s scared of the dark. FML
Today, my grandmother, who I live with, turned the heat off in our house because she went through my private, personal notes on how I wanted to spend my paycheck, and she was mad that I used some of it to help the father of my not-yet-born child, who's struggling financially, make his car payments. FML
Today, all of my credit cards were frozen due to fraud. The culprit? My own mother. She rationalized it by saying I "owed" her for raising me. She didn’t even raise me. My grandma did. FML
Today, my nosy mom opened my mail and saw how much I have in my account. She confiscated my debit card because she’s convinced no one could save that much working part time at Burger King and is demanding I confess where so much money came from. I'm moving out. Fuck her. FML
Today, my mom blocked me on everything, kicked me out of her house, and declared that I'm "dead to her." Why? She ordered a package, but it never came. I’m still trying to process how that could possibly be my fault. FML
Today, my mom cleaned out my bank account, saying my "no-good dad" owes her child support and that she'll get it one way or another. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

first off take her to court for tampering with your mail second go to a blue mailbox the post office has them usually and put your bills there and third pay online if your worried about your mail getting lost

That is a felony. Send the thieving bitch to jail.

I'm from Ireland, and that just seems like a really weird way to pay bills. We pay ours online and such.

#44, these days most people in the United States, too, pay online, or at least mail checks instead purchasing a money order for each bill each month. But some people don't have a checking account, or any other account through which they can do online bill paying -- could be due to personal preference (not everyone trusts banks, or trusts themselves with an easy-access account) or a bad credit history (if any of these utility companies reported to the credit bureaus, OP got credit-record dings for bill nonpayment over this in addition to the shutoffs).

I can't believe someone would steal from their child!

Report her for felony(stealing from your mailbox). You'll never have to deal with her again.

How can she steal a money order, the only person who can do anything with it is the payee. It's not like she can cash it. I think I smell a little BS.
