Today, my mom started dipping into my college savings, just so she can continue throwing money away on visiting a medium who claims she can channel the spirit of our recently-deceased family dog. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I found out my mom has literally spent all her savings sending money to some bullshit-peddling megachurch televangelist, who apparently told her that giving them money would ensure her future fortune. Tithings, my ass. FML
Today, my mom started fundraising and selling things on eBay. At first I was happy because I thought she was finally going to help me pay my college tuition. Turns out she's planning on raising money to get our dog a new friend because she's "lonely." FML
Today, I called my mother to check up on her. Lately, she's been having some financial problems, so last week I sent her my last $100 to help her out until her next paycheck. She used the money to euthanize the family dog. FML
Today, my mother informed me that she sold my dog to pay off some bills. FML
Today, my mother took 350 dollars from savings to go to a psychic. But it's okay though, because now I know I'm an "ancient soul from another dimension". An "ancient soul" who now has no money. FML
Today, after being accepted into the college of my dreams, I found out that my mom has spent all my college savings on alcohol over the years, and she says that it's my fault for not "helping her get help." FML
Today, I found out my mom recently stopped taking her medication. I came home to find she'd shot my dog because she thought he was possessed by the devil. 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 my mom has been stealing from me to pay for Scientology courses. FML
Today, my mom told me she spent $760 on "quantum pendants" that "produce scalar energy that helps to enhance the body’s biofield." When I told her she got scammed, she denied it and yelled at me. Best part? She frequently lectures me about how I waste my money and spend irresponsibly. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Well, you mom could be in pain, or just crazy.

If your mother's seance leader was very short and disappeared without a trace, there would be a small medium at large.

What is channeling the dogs spirit mean? Does the medium start barking and sniffing your crotch?

Mom, stop this madness! Shut up Jon! If you paid more attention to Garfield and protected odie from that old stick-your-face-in-the-bowl trick, odie wouldn't have drowned in his own drool and this wouldn't be necessary! Now gimme that money!

Well, the medium is a twat for lying and taking money from someone who's... er... grieving, but I agree, the mom isn't being rational... Who takes money from their own children's futures? And for a dead dog no less?

Hey dogs are just as important as people too you know. Though that doesn't excuse taking money out of a person's college savings.

I38- how can a dog's life have the same importance as a human's? Dog's don't go to heaven , neither will they matter in the long run .
K_kanaka 26
Epic fail on sarcasm. I apologize for that.
saksxalmo 20
EVEN if a dog's life were worth a human's, it's illogical to take money from a living person with a future and give it to a medium simply because s/he CLAIMS to be in contact with the dead dog... And to anyone who supports mediums: you may believe in them, but there is no evidence to support them (but there's a lot of evidence against them.) I can't think of any other service, except gambling, that people pay for without knowing whether they'll even get what they paid for... EDIT: #52, I just saw that you were being sarcastic. Just pretend this comment is directed at someone else. :)

48- That's so stupid. If God made humans and animals then why would only people go to heaven? And to tell the truth animals are so much nicer then people. I mean would a dog cheat on you?

For people who believe in them, mediums can help with the grieving process. But there's a limit to how far one should take it before it hinders their ability to move on. OP's mom has definitely crossed that line.

91, how does scamming someone out of their money help them?
kakarot2 11
You should contact long island medium. She seems pretty good at channeling spirits.
hellbilly205 17
Too bad OP's from texas...
iBanana 17
They have wonderful things called cell phones, where you can call people without having to see or be near them!
shanemaximo 7
They also have a wonderful thing called brains that you can use to figure out that all that is bullshit.
metalwolf 17
Yes, but just like my land line after I got my cell phone, there are some thing some people hardly ever use.
kakarot2 11
**WOOOOOSHHHHH*** That was the sound of a joke going over all of your heads -_-'
iBanana 17
Uhh, I caught the sarcasm in both of your posts. I guess you didn't catch mine, with a glove that is inscribed 'The Sarcasm Handcatcherglove.'
SocialAmethyst 20
I believe long island medium is real though. It kinda goes into my religion, which I don't want to get into because honestly, I can see why some people might take it as weird, but my apologies.

The dog or college?
AwkwardPartyBear 24
Reread the fml
buck33 14
Let me clarify: communicate with the dog (which I don't believe) or go to college. It was a joke.. Sorry it wasn't funny. And I ment to put a period not a question.
buck33 14
No, that's seriously what I meant. Anyway, if you have an opportunity for an early post, why not take it?
McMan 23
Because if you have nothing to say you'll probably post something irrelevant or mundane like "First!" or "The Dog or College?" Besides, if you're that desperate for attention I suggest you go streaking in the streets.
THE_A_TEEN 28
Listen to McMan, he is the wise one. But seriously, if you're on one of he newly posted FML, try posting something that is worth thumbs and laughs, not complete bullshit with you coming up with the "it was sarcasm" or "I wasn't trying" or " i was joking" bullshit. That is the surefire way to get ****** in the arse by us.
RaggleFrock 13
If you need a thumb up to make your unimportant life feel more worth while, I will thumb you up. Thumb up for life, bro.
buck33 14
It was a stupid comment. I won't deny that, in retrospect. But seriously, some if you need to get out of your caves and quit giving crap to a 15 year old. Here come thumbs down.
DrDilllonReese 12
You all need to shut the **** up.
WaSiSimiLang 8
I suddenly feel threatened by FML... So I can't come in here and post whatever shit I want? Shit, I'll rather say what I want when I want even if it gets thumbed down than observing the hidden unspoken rules made up by people I don't even know on the net...

I got the joke! Thought it was funny it made me laugh so dont listen to the meanys. PS I thumbed up!

If someone has one bad comment you shouldn't automatically thumbs down all the others

Maybe she thinks that college is throwing away money? And wanted to put it to good use.
DrDilllonReese 12
Good use... Hmm... Well, even if she reached the spirit of a dead dog, the dog wouldn't be able to talk because it's a dog. Good use indeed

You're joking right?

Isn't it obvious he was? It was to me.

Killer_fel 15
I see what you did there... XD
2oc 5
Does someone always have to say that? We all understood what he meant or his comment wouldn't be thumbsed up...
onlychildFTW 34
Thank you 2oc!!!

Reminds me of powderpuff girls :/

It would be very ironic if OP went to Butler. Because their mascot is a dog.

And what is this spirit saying to her through the medium? "woof"?
perdix 31
Unless you're going to become a vet that can bring back beloved pets back from the dead, she's making the wiser investment with the medium.

Say you have the right to dipp into her sex funds
