Today, my mom took away my car, phone, dog, laptop and college fund because I told her she lets me down sometimes. I'm moving to Arizona for college in two weeks. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my parents took away my laptop, TV, Xbox, and car all because I broke up with my girlfriend. They said when I patch things up with her, I can have my stuff back. FML
Today, my mom yelled at me for taking too long at a job interview, and that it was a waste of her time to drive me to it. I just quit my job, moved away from my boyfriend and the coast to help take care of her in Idaho. FML
Today, I dropped out of college and moved back home to help my mom take care of my younger siblings after our father's death. My mom yelled at me and scolded me and lectured me for throwing my life away, and said this was the last thing she ever wanted me to do. I thought she needed help. FML
Today, my mother kicked me out of the house because her new boyfriend needs my room. Evidently he also needs my credit card, passport, and wallet too, because she kept all three, while tossing everything else out on the lawn. FML
Today, my parents cut ties with me because I refused to drop out of college and move five states away with them for a "fresh start" after the deaths of my siblings. I basically lost my whole family in the span of just two months. FML
Today, I discovered that I don't have a college fund. My mother stole the money when she divorced my dad and he never bothered to tell me. Now he's offered to pay my tuition if I go to a military academy. If I don't take the offer, he wants me to move out by next Friday. FML
Today, my mom decided to go against every promise she's made to everyone once again and left us in financial ruin. How? She took advantage of my kindness, and didn't pay any of the money she owes me for driving my car, and for so much more. I'm more than $2,000 in debt now. FML
Today, my abusive mom just moved into my house, within two weeks of me losing my job. 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, my insane mother refused to pick me up from school. Her reason was my “little brother” didn’t feel like going in the car. I got upset and snapped that her dog is not my brother when she tried to ground me. She won’t cook, clean, or take care of her family, all for that damn dog. I can’t wait to move. FML

I'm sure that you will get everything back before you go, if not that's pretty messed up, especially taking your dog.

To the people that are saying that OPs mom took that stuff because they bought it all, that's not always the case. My moms taken my things as punishment and broken a couple (long story, not important now) despite the fact that I worked for the money and bought it myself

How old are you? If you're 18, isn't that technically theft?

She took away your dog? That's cruel for your pet, who will feel neglected after not seeing its owner after too long. Your mom needs help.

If you pay for your car and phone, and you paid for your dog and laptop, then she has no right to take those, and taking away a kid's college fund two weeks before they leave for college is just outright crazy

I'm sorry but I find it hard to believe a college starts school midway through a summer semester.

I moved up to where I live for college about three weeks early to get settled and find a job before classes so I had less stress when they started. OP's mom sounds like way too much to deal with, like mine is. Sometimes you just gotta get out of the house asap and cut off as much contact as possible, don't be condescending about the dates. It's rude, and you don't know the whole story.

So she's punishing you by proving you right?

Petty. Even if she's hurt, she shouldn't cut off your college fund without warning. And taking your dog is just cruel.

How do you confiscate a living being is my question
