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

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

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?...Sounds like mom needs a medium to show her the way to the nearest psych. in town. Who's going to end up paying for the college fund......us, the taxpayers of course.

God, mediums, philosophers... all of them have believers and all of them have evidence to disband their existence. to a person with no direction looking for guidance finds a philosophy that helps make their lives meaningful and makes them strive to be a better person - who's to tell them its not worth it? granted they probably didn't spend much. HOWEVER; mediums that give a one hour session ONE time to HELP someone are more legit compared to this quack who claims to have contact with a late dog. anyone with a REAL mediumistic ability wouldnt exploit it to gain a woman's misguided search as a means for gaining a regular. especially if they knew they were taking from a future OP is lucky to have the potential of having. my mother gets carried away & I have to help her by showing her the situation in context. explain to your mother that shes had the blessing of getting to say good-bye, but that taking advantage of a supposed "constant ability to contact the dog" is selfish and hurting your future.

granted, I don't personally believe in mediums or have ever seen one, and I think they do more harm than good. I guess my point was that there's a thick line between getting closure in a way others might deem unusual and getting addicted to the idea of not having to say good bye. OPs mom has crossed that line and OP should say something about it. I only wanted my novel (I tend to make too long a comment) to offer some insight ans help OP.

Why does your mom have access to your savings anyway? And also, why is that every single time I comment on this site, it logs me out and makes me log in again before I can type? It's annoying...
