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?

This is definitely a good reason to call the cops. I would press charges on her or else she could do it again in the future.

A lot of people don't seem to get how ass-backwards much of the US is. Sometimes going to a mailbox or post office just really isn't an option if you want something paid on time. I live in rural FL too, though I put my mail in the outgoing box at work rather than at home. Also, what's with all the "get with the 21st century" comments? A lot of people just don't have 24/7 internet access or smart phones w/unlimited data, not because of nostalgia for the past or a desire to live in the dark ages, but because they simply may not be able to afford things that most people take for granted, that may unfortunately include a bank account.

Isn't messing with the mail a federal offence on your side of the pond?

Why would you not pay the bills online? Or through the bank.

Has anyone thought they do not have a bank account, and it was safer for this individual to send a money order in the mail. I would do something for to learn her lesson, like not allowed on your property ever.

Like calling the post office IG and opening an investigation on a federal crime...
