When you are a kid it can be fun to start saving for your future.
What would you do if you saved up $10,000 but then when you went to check your account, you discovered that your mom had stolen it all?
That is what happened to the young man in this story, and when he confronted her, she kicked him out of the house.
Check it out.
I, (23m), had been saving all my life and saved up to ~$10,000 in my savings account at 18.
Very impressive, and lots of hard work.
It was a joint account, & i was totally unaware of the fact that you can take out money without my consent or me knowing even.
What? Why would they do this!?
My mom & elder sibling decided to take out ALL my money, without me even realizing.
I had no clue anyone could do that and me not even getting any sort of notice. When i checked my bank account, I was shocked to say the least.
So, this is straight up theft.
They kicked me out when i confronted them.
I had no money to pay for college, and I felt like they did theft against me.
They used it to pay for their groceries, mortgage, cars, etc- while I’m out here paying rent & unsure what the future holds against me.
It is mom’s job to pay for braces, etc.
We’ve argued about this often, but mom had paid for my braces when i was ~14 & I agreed to paying her back the full amount ($4000) at the time.
Absolutely. Don’t give them another dime.
I had paid her $2500 but decided not to pay the whole amount due to what her & elder sibling did. I’m ashamed to even call them family anymore.
I had become homeless on my 20th birthday because of this & was jobless also. I’m lucky to even be here…
Try to forgive, but never trust them again.
I have always found ways to try and forgive them, but I cant. I have a pure heart & I always try to see the good in people, but this situation has devastated me.
They did not help me when I was homeless. I’ve been civil with them not bringing up the situation, but I just can’t stand them anymore.
A terrible family. He is underreacting!
I don’t know what kind of family does this.. am I overreacting??
AITA for not paying back the rest of $1500 & feeling like they robbed me & my future?
Absolutely not. He does not owe her anything, and in fact, mom owes him thousands.
Let’s see what the people in the comments have to say about this terrible situation.
Never give her a dime. Ever.
This person can’t believe how bad the mom is.
This commenter says she is a terrible parent. I agree.
You really can’t trust anyone.
Yup, she stole from him and he should do everything he can to hold her accountable.
This is financial abuse by a terrible mother.
