Today, my mother told me how she managed to afford all of the expensive Christmas presents we got. She took out extra money when applying for my student loans. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my mom and I went to Best Buy for some Christmas shopping. She picked up some presents for me and told me not to look at what she was buying. When we got to the register, she didn't have enough money, and I ended up having to buy my own presents. FML
Today, I discovered my mom has been using my credit card to buy everyone's Christmas presents. FML
Today, I was missing $20 from my wallet, so I decided to ask my sister if she had taken it. Her response? "That reminds me, I need to borrow another 50." She has a job. That was my Christmas money. 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, my mother asked me if she could borrow $200. Being the lovely daughter I am, I gave her my bank card to withdraw it herself. She gambled it away and maxed my bank account out. I had $1500 saved. FML
Today, I found out my school's financial aid had a "misunderstanding" of my finances, I can no longer afford to pay half of my bills or pay for Christmas. FML
Today, I had to spend all of my money on textbooks even though my refrigerator is empty. Starving and frustrated, I called home to ask for money for groceries. My mom told me I could afford to skip a few meals. FML
Today, after months of helping my mother with bills because she claimed she had no money, I found out she makes way more than what I do. She just wanted my money for alcohol and drugs. FML
Today, my mom yelled at me because I refused to lend her money. The reason I won't lend her money? The last time I did, she and my dad went out and bought a Macbook and a new car instead of paying bills. Apparently, I'm being 'selfish' by keeping my own money and putting it towards university. FML
Today, my mom stole my holiday money because she found it “near her bag” in my kitchen and “assumed it was hers” and she must have “forgotten it was in there all this time.” I demanded it back, but she’d already spent it on hair, nails, shoes, and a date night with dad. She won’t pay me back either. FML

Which she's paying for, right? If not, that's a total bitch move.

Well make sure to take some extra money out of her purse

I am 80% sure that not only is taking out a loan larger than what is required to pay for your tuition illegal, but that taking out a loan in someone's name and signing them as responsible for the repayment is illegal. Time to get a consultation from a lawyer, OP.

It absolutely is not illegal. And even if it was, financial aid officers aren't allowed to investigate use of funds as it is a violation of privacy. Source: 3 years working in a financial aid office.

Really, Jeb? because loan councilling at my university clearly tells us that it is illegal to take out more than you need for school/school items (books, dorm, gas, etc.). those loans are for school and school only, which is why we get the wonderful things like no interest for 4+ years. not to buy presents.

And this is yet another problem of Christmas. I hope people can open their eyes to the true plot of Christmas.

hopefully your mom wasn't raised in this country and doesn't understand how illegal that is and how much she just screwed you over. just trying to be optimistic...otherwise, she's a cuntasaurus rex.

Sounds like mom is footing the bill anyway- so enjoy that gift!!

If the loan is in your name, and the extra money went to her, she is doing something illegal. I would sue her, and have her pay back for your college loans. People do not understand how that adds up...

This is why you never have your parents cosign your loans.
