Sometimes, the deepest betrayals come not from strangers, but from the people we trust most. Financial sacrifices made over years can be undone in a single, thoughtless decision. When family crosses that line, the shock cuts deeper than the loss itself.
Hello Bright Side!
For three years, I worked tirelessly, saving every penny for my college tuition. The day I was ready to transfer the money, I got a call from the bank. They told me someone with access to my account had withdrawn the entire balance.
My heart raced as I tried to make sense of it. I rushed home, my mind racing with questions. When I asked my dad, “What did you do with my money?” he barely looked up, his voice detached. “I needed it,” he said nonchalantly.
I was shaking with disbelief. “Where did it go?” I pressed. Without missing a beat, he finally answered, “I invested it in a new business venture. I’m sure you’ll figure something out.”
My stomach twisted as anger boiled inside me. “You stole my future for another failed business?” I demanded, but he just shrugged, his expression blank, “It’s just money.”
The anger surged through me like a wave. “How could you do this?” I shouted, the words cutting through the room.
“You think I can just ‘figure it out’? Do you have any idea what you’ve taken from me?” He stood up slowly, not looking at me, just adjusting his jacket like he was about to leave.
“Look, kid,” he said, voice growing colder, “It’s done. I needed that money, and you’ll survive. I’m moving forward, and this venture is going to work.”
His word let me speechless? Now I don’t know what to do? I have no money, father figure and future.
You are obviously an adult with prior knowledge of your parent's poor business decisions. You should have created your own account. I understand this because everything I'd saved was stolen by my biological mother. I didn't have access to a bank, so I thought I hid it well enough. I was wrong.
In most states a father is required by law to pay child support until child is out of college. You can take him to court. If he doesn't support you he can go to jail. I knew someone else who did this after her father told her they didn't have the money for her to go to college. Guess what. He came up with money every month until she graduated. And she moved in with her grandmother.
Call police, demand him to get death sentence. 👹👹

Thank you for sharing your story, dear reader! This situation is deeply painful—dealing with betrayal, especially by a parent, shakes your foundation. Here are some pieces of advice to help you navigate and rebuild.
In the end, healing doesn’t come all at once—but it begins with setting boundaries and choosing peace. While the wound may never fully disappear, the future doesn’t have to echo the past.
There's got to be some legal recourse here. Access to an account doesn't make the money his. Have him arrested.

The boundaries have already been crossed. Her father basically stole her money. Wake up people!
