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
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I received a call from a collection agency. Since I had no clue, I was ready to file a police report for stolen identity. I then called my mom only to find out she has been opening new credit cards with my information for 3 years and not paying them. My credit is ruined and I'm only 21. FML
Today, I learned why my credit score is so low. My mom stole my identity almost three years ago. Her excuse? "You didn't need good credit for anything anyways". FML
Today, I discovered my mom has been using my credit card to buy everyone's Christmas presents. 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, 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, all of my credit cards were frozen due to fraud. The culprit? My own mother. She rationalized it by saying I "owed" her for raising me. She didn’t even raise me. My grandma did. FML
Today, I found out why I haven't been getting my bank statements for the past couple of months. My parents have been hiding them from me, because they've been stealing from it. FML
Today, I had to dump my girlfriend because of tons of trust issues that kept reappearing. Shortly afterwards, my credit card disappeared and I got to experience my first identity theft. All within 24 hours. FML
Today, I hid my credit card from myself so I wouldn't use it. Now I can't find it. FML
Today, I found out that, after offering to fill out my student aid application for me, my mother sent all of my personal information to a scam site instead. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

thats probably why she does what she does. If we didnt have consequences for breaking the law do you really think people would follow them as much as we do now?

confront her on what she did if she doesn't fix it turn her in! she deserves it if thats the way she treats her children! parents always go on and on about how since we're the kids we have to respect them what happened to respect is a two way streak? wheres our respect? this FML got me riled up against my own parents who go on and on about how we should respect them then we get shit!

YDI for not having the balls to turn your mom in. She's not above the law, and she shouldn't have done that.

Somebody's already said this, but I'd be willing to bet that if she'd sink so low as to do this to her own child, she's done it to other people in the past. Turn the bitch in for their sake if not for your own.

I love my mum. she gave birth to me an what not.. but if she ruined my feature like that.. I would turn a bitch in faster then you could say "who's your daddy!".

I've enabled my mother's lies my whole life. At some point, you need to recognize that YOU are the problem. Stand up to her and start your own life.
