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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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.

was it money that YOU saved up or was it money that they had set apart and then decided to use it on something else?

yeah, that was my inquiry as well. If the money was in an account that *only* had OP's name on it, then there are definitely grounds for legal action. However, if it was a joint-account or strictly the parents' account, and it was money they were putting aside... well, hate to say it- but it was their money to do with as they pleased. Either way, terrible parents for pursuing their own desires before considering their child's economic/educational future.

Sue them for the house and sell it to pay for college. Or threaten to sue them and make them pay for college. whichever works better.
