Today, after weeks of money slowly disappearing from the stash in my bedroom, I confronted my son about it. I'm not sure which is worse: that my son is a thief or that he actually blamed his father for it. We've been divorced and haven't spoken for eight years. 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 my son's dad stole his unemployment card and took the money. My son was homeless at the time and using his dad's address for mail. FML
Today, I invited my deadbeat dad over for dinner, hoping we could resolve our issues and build a proper relationship. Just minutes after he arrived, I caught him stealing money from my purse. He actually said I owe him for raising me. He ditched my mom and me when I was 5. FML
Today, everyone says I'm being too hard on my son, who I disowned and went no contact with after he cleaned out all of my late wife's belongings without asking. I have nothing, literally nothing left of her now. 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
Today, my son got in an argument with my boyfriend, packed up his stuff, and moved in with his dad. Not five minutes later I saw my boyfriend doing his stupid happy dance. When angrily confronted, he admitted he orchestrated every argument for months until he got the result he wanted, my son gone. 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, I found out that my son and his stepdad have bonded over covering for each others' misbehaviour so I don’t find out. Between them they have kept it secret that my son sneaks out at 1am to see his secret girlfriend, that my husband lost £500 gambling, that my son scratched the car… The list goes on. FML
Today, after spending 6 months and $15,000 on lawyer fees at my 13 year-old son's request, his abusive, alcoholic father no longer has any legal right to see him. How did my son repay me? He ran away to live with his father the very first time I told him he couldn't have friends sleep over. FML
Today, my son is an idiot, but I tried to give him the benefit of the doubt by giving him a job as a cashier in one of my stores. Within half an hour, I was sent security footage from that store's manager showing my son on his phone, ignoring customers, picking his nose, and stealing money from the till. FML
Today, it's been thirteen years since I divorced my husband for being too hard on our son. Since then, he's remarried and had two beautiful, well-behaved kids. My son, meanwhile, is a thieving hellion who doesn't care about anything but himself, and my ex wants nothing to do with him. FML

you have a stash in your bedroom? Whatever happened to the bank?

Discipline should be in order. Seriously, who steals money from their own parents?

Your hiding place must suck.

does it matter if it's a good hiding place you shouldn't steal from your parents.

it's weird that he did it an age where you remember the amount of money you had. it'd be a whole lot smarter to do that when you're at the age where you forget the little things. not that I encourage or approve of the son's actions or anything of the sort

Just because you haven't spoken to your ex in eight years doesn't mean your son hasn't.

Take him for a drug test.

If you noticed the money slowly disappearing, why didn't you move your stash of cash?

That money that he's been taking, has been used to buy his supply of hallucinogens. In his mind, his dads still there.

sorry to say it but you need to find another hiding place, and that place should be the bank.And have a serious talk to your son and find out way he stole the money . Ps I hope it wasn't for drugs or something much worst . please find out before it really gets out of control .

not everybody trusts banks, and it is actually smart to keep an emergency stash just in case.

just remember dumb ass what comes around , goes around, and please let me come over and steal your hard earned money that you worked for , since you don't believe in banks. And then you will see how happy that you put your money in the bank. Just maybe she was saving something that she really wanted and turns arounds and it's gone seriously how would you feel if that happened to you? Please get your head out of the sand and see that her great son is a thief and he needs a serious talking to . Or better yet wait until you have children and watch them steal from you and see what you would do ?
