Today, I found out that my parents used all of the college money I have been saving up for 8 years to buy a beach house. The reason they waited until now to tell me? A tree fell on it, and they need more money for repairs. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I found out why my parents have been trying to convince me not to go to college this year. I also found out where the $20,000 they just spent on landscaping came from. My college fund. Which is now $0. FML
Today, my parents blew my entire college fund in their quest to finish building their replica Hobbit house in our back yard. FML
Today, I found out that my parents are 28,000 dollars in debt and that my bank account has $27.17 in it. They took my money to help pay their debt. FML
Today, my sister finally broke down and told me that our dad gambled away of all my college savings, and I would have to pay for school the best way I can. They have known for months, and when I asked why nobody told me, the reply was, "You're a college boy, we thought you would figure it out." FML
Today, I discovered my parents have spent my college fund because "2012 will happen" before I graduate. FML
Today, I checked my bank account that I've been saving money in since I was a kid for college. I have $100 left out of the $10,000 I had last month. Apparently my parents thought buying a pool and an HDTV for themselves was more important than my college education. FML
Today, I woke up and found that the tree in my front yard was gone. FML
Today, I found out that my dad has been trying to take money out of my savings account to pay for divorce fees and a hammock. FML
Today, I frantically told my parents that my bank account had no money. Turns out, they took the $1,600 I had saved up from a summer job and invested it in penny-stocks. I was grounded because they were "doing it for the family," and I'm being selfish. They also had lost it all in a matter of days. FML
Today, my parents told me they're getting a divorce because of all the strain caused by me nearly dying in an accident. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Why did your parents have access to it in the first place if it's money YOU were saving. My parents can't go into my accounts.

If it was money you yourself earned, take them to court. If it was money that they put into the account, its not your money, its theirs and if they wanted to spend it on something else, sucks, but they could. If you also put into that account, you should take them to court.

They obviously dont value a college education. Either that or they think that OP will never get into college anyway. Parents can be idiots.

First, your parents have stolen from you. There is no reason not to go to the police and file a complaint. That money was yours and they had no right at all to take it. Second, it shows your parents have absolutely no faith in you at all. Parents like this are more trouble than they're worth, so save yourself future heartache and break ties with them. Unless you do something, they will only continue to abuse you and take advantage of you like this and you cannot let that happen.

First of all, your parents suck. Second, that's theft. REPORT THEM TO THE COPS.
