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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I found my checking and savings account to both read $0.00. My parents transferred all my money to theirs because "I'm irresponsible, and not fit to handle money." I'm a 3.8 college student and have a full-time job. They are currently unemployed. 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 found out my mom took around $2,500 from my savings account to pay off my sister's college tuition. She recently flunked out of her studies and won't be returning to college anyway. FML
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, 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, after weeks of allowing my parents to borrow money, I got a check for $2000. I took it to the bank only to find out it was fake. FML
Today, I had to dig into my savings to help my parents pay for their divorce. FML
Today, I'm 36 years-old, living with my parents, in debt. My mom always wants to solve my problems by giving me money, which she later claims as "borrowed", so now I'm highly in debt with the bank… and her. FML
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
Today, I found out that when my uncle died, he left me and the rest of my family £2000 each. Only my parents kept and spent my share on themselves. FML

That's horrible! How dare they! You should sue them when they get back on their feet.

I understand that they are using the money to pay the debt but they should have asked for help instead of taking it from you without you knowing. I agree FYL

If you open the account while you're a minor, your parents have access to it. If OP didn't get the account put solely in his name after he turned 18, his parents would have the power to withdraw from it.

this makes me so angry. my mom did this to me once when I was younger. we went to the bank to cash in some money in my account and my brothers. when I wanted to see how much was in there she wouldn't let me because she took some. I don't even know if she payed it back.

I know the feel man. Im 15 and had 3k in my account then checked on it online and there was $5 in it. My father is the guardian on the account and apparently he has some debts he forgot about and my account got garnished. He refuses to pay for it.

Give it to them, they do a lot for you. My dad asks me for money with the farm economy being tough and I give it to him and don't ask for it back. He does a lot for me and I want to help him out anyway I can!
