Today, my mother asked me if she could borrow $200. Being the lovely daughter I am, I gave her my bank card to withdraw it herself. She gambled it away and maxed my bank account out. I had $1500 saved. FML

Today, I found out my father has been saving money to help me buy my first car. In the same conversation, I found out my mother, unbeknownst to my dad, used nearly all of the money to bail my drunken, deadbeat uncle out of jail for the fourth time a month ago. He's now back in prison. FML

File a police report. I know it’s your dad but he needs to have consequences to his actions.

Report to police, cut all ties and take out court order disowning him just in case if something happens you won't be contacted for financial needs over him.

Exactly. Addiction may be a disease but the more the people around him enable or have him avoid consequences, the longer his disease will go untreated and worse off he’ll be for it in the end. It may not be easy, but you need to do it for your own welfare and his as well - he WILL do it again if he knows he can get away with it, no matter how much he says otherwise.
