Today, my dad had something to tell me. He'd cleaned out my bank account to pay off 38,000 dollars worth of gambling debt. My wedding is in 5 months. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my dad came home from Vegas. Today, my college savings account is down by $64,000. FML
Today, my father stole the money I'd saved up by working and spent it all gambling. I'd saved it up for a year for a new car. FML
Today, the bank called saying we were late in the mortgage payments. I was puzzled because three months ago I issued a big cheque to my mum pay off the mortgage. I just discovered that she instead lost it all at the casino. Turns out, she's become a compulsive gambler ever since dad passed away. FML
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
Today, my sister finally broke down and told me that our dad gambled away of all my college savings, and I would have to pay for school the best way I can. They have known for months, and when I asked why nobody told me, the reply was, "You're a college boy, we thought you would figure it out." FML
Today, I found out that my dad has been trying to take money out of my savings account to pay for divorce fees and a hammock. 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, I finally told my dad that he owes me over 400 dollars, and that I need it or else I'd get kicked out of my apartment. He only gave me 70 and said to get a better job. FML
Today, my dad screamed at me because I've been "spending too much money". He's been out of a job for 4 months and I've been giving him 300 dollars a month to help pay for bills... and his beer. FML
Today, my dad asked to borrow some money off me, so I said okay. Later on, he told me he'll be using it to help divorce my mom. I pretty much just helped pay for my parents' divorce. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Kill him. Sell organs. Profit.

I second what #1 said - how come your dad has access to your account? If you're an adult, I thought you automatically became the main person in charge of the account and no one else could access it. Unless he stole your credit card or something? Either way, FYL for sure

I dont believe it would be all that hard for my mother to go to the bank impersonating me with my birthdate, SSN, address and all that other personal information that she knows so well and withdraw money from my account. Its actually not that hard to do. Try going to the bank without an ID and see how easy it is for someone who knows your personal info to take out your money, especially if they swipe your debit card like I'm sure a gambling addicted individual would have no qualms about doing. Lots of people assuming stuff here. People with addictions dont always care about who they hurt in order to feed their addiction, my fiance has an aunt who would steal from family members left and right including her own semi-coherant senile mother untill she lost custody of her deaf child she used to defraud the government and ended up moving somewhere in Arizona. We all think it was drugs.

Unfortunatly that does happen. However, I do have to say, when I had a joint bank account with my mom, her name did appear on the bank statement, and my deposit tickets. I knew she was there and I didn't need her permission to remove her once I turned of age. If he wasn't on your bank account I would be heading up there and raising hell. They had no right to release money to someone who wasn't you. fyl

I would disown your father and uninvite him to your wedding. He's addicted to gambling and will do it again. If he stole his own son's money he will steal from anyone.

YDI for letting other people have access to your bank account.

If you're old enough to be getting married, why the hell does Daddums still have access to your bank accounts?

FYL for having your money "stolen." YDI for letting your dad "steal" your money. He wouldn't have legally been able to do that if he didn't have access to the account. If he isn't, then you can file a fraud report to both your bank and the authorities. Odds are less than likely that you'll get any of it back outside of suing him. Of course, since he had to steal the money from you to pay anything off in the first place, it's less than likely he'll have the resources to pay back a lawsuit either... at least without paying you back on the credit of some other company, meaning that the only way for you to get anything out of this is for your pap to go back into debt. Regarding your father's luck, karma wins yet again.
