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

Today, my mother started nagging me for spending $500 on a guitar, stating that, "We're not in the mood for unnecessary bullcrap." I paid for it with MY money, and she suddenly turned up at MY house because my father kicked her out of their house after finding out that she cheated on him. FML

Today, I came home to find that my mother had sold all my valuable collector coins for cheap at a local shady pawn shop to buy herself a TV. The coins in question were worth enough to start a business. FML

Today, my dad agreed to let me borrow the car to go rock climbing with my friends. He'd just filled it up with gas, which is how I realized halfway back home that one of my "friends" had siphoned well over half the gas straight out of the tank. FML

Today, I dropped my 6-month-old $3,500 guitar. Luckily, it had a one year warranty from the store so I drove back. It was shut down. FML

That's not right if my dad did that I'd get a knife and take his kidney for guitar money!

That wasn't right on your father's part but I'd like to believe you're mainly upset because you didn't have a chance to make the offer yourself. It sucks to lose possessions but they are replaceable (unless you had some sort of expensively unique guitar). If your family is in such financial difficulties that gas is a problem, try to be understanding. Maybe things will get better and your guitar will be replaced. Talk to your father.

As a fellow guitarist, I can sympathise. All my guitars have names and are loved dearly. :')

same here. I just got a new acoustic, she's my baby. I don't let it stay out of my sight I'd other people are handling it.
