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

Today, my mom and I went to Best Buy for some Christmas shopping. She picked up some presents for me and told me not to look at what she was buying. When we got to the register, she didn't have enough money, and I ended up having to buy my own presents. 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
ARGHHHH
Today, my mom ordered my birthday presents on eBay. Too bad she used my account, so when I went to look for ideas, everything she bought me popped up. It's so much stuff I don't want, need, or will ever use, and it's on my credit card. FML

Today, I found out my identity was stolen. The person got credit cards in my name and didn't pay the bills, which has ruined my near perfect credit. The worst part about all of this is that I can't turn the person in. It's my mom, and sending her to jail wouldn't really work out for anyone. FML

Today, I found out my credit card was maxed out to the penny, all thanks to purchases made on an online wine store. Apparently my mother was thirsty enough to steal from her own son. FML

Today, my mom got drunk and decided to unwrap all my Christmas gifts and throw them at the wall. Ho, ho, ho. FML

Today, my mother told me how she managed to afford all of the expensive Christmas presents we got. She took out extra money when applying for my student loans. FML

Make her pay you back, or press charges against her if she refuses to. That's effed up.

report your card stolen if I am right the money will be replaced at least that's what happen when my father's card was stolen

This apparently happens alot to people on FML. It leaves me dumbstruck every time. That is a horribly disgraceful thing to do as a parent, and a very poor lesson to pass on to your (presumably adult, but still) kid; that you're allowed to take whatever you want if you feel you deserve it. I'd tell her that either she pays up IMMEDIATELY (not next month, or whenever she feels like it or has the money) or you report your card stolen and press charges against her. If she tries the whole, "I'm your mother, I raised you"-thing, tell her that you're taking care of her when she's old. That's how family works. You don't get to steal from your child. However, I do want to ask why she had your credit card in the first place?

If it were me, I would report the card as stolen, call the police, and then get a lawyer right away to take her to court. Then I would try and get the presents back to return them, so you don't have a crappy credit score. I also would never speak to that woman again, invite her places, or let her near my property.

Take the money out of her purse and pay the bill. How can she complain, after having done the same thing (in essence) to your wallet?

Cancel your credit card and press charges against her

So, credit card theft is fine if OP gets a good gift? I don't ******* think so

And now i'm wondering: didn't you see this coming?
Sweetpea22 14
Should the OP have seen it coming? I would never expect my mom to do something that evil

Don't be a grinch OP. It's better to give than receive.
Sweetpea22 14
Yeah, OP should be happy their mother is messing up their credit score and that she's a thief. *Sarcasm*

I totally agree, jgriff79. Now, why don't you give me your credit card numbers so I can buy some Christmas presents for myself? Remember, it's all about the giving. You wouldn't want to be a grinch, right?
