My parents cheated me

If that was the first time that your mom did that behaviour to you on money matters and it is by the time you have started this topic it has been 4 months so I am hoping something will be turning just fine by now. Always remeber that is only material thing and don't take it too hard. She is your mother if ever she never pays you back in due time that you needed it the most never get mad to her. And be cautious by next time and entrust money again to her if the transaction is well specified, you know what I mean... Call her and say sorry if you ever made happen to SAY some bad words, apologize even you think you have the right to get angry.... she still your mother..... Hope that this mother's day you find the way to reconcile with her , OKAY. Who knows maybe after a sincere apology you will REMAIN to be your mother's "La Favorito"... Cheer up my friend and have a walk with your husband to diffuse some tensions.

Too bad we can't pick our parents!!! That's a shame that your parents are not being honest with you about the money. I can relate a little bit, I wanted to go to this private college in Philly and for a whole year while I was visiting schools and applying, they told me that they can afford whatever college or university I want to go to (i'm an only child) so I visit the college, I apply and when i hear back that I got accepted- My parents tell me that they are retiring and moving to Florida. So the money that was saved up for my college, went to building them a new house. It wan't my money so I can't totally relate but I can feel your pain about trusting them, having them tell you one thing and then they pull the rug out from under your feet!! But they are our parents...they raised us and made numerous sacrafices for us. That would be a shame if your relationship with your parents fell apart b/c of money!! Be angry but don't hate them. It may be an expensive lesson learned, I have been down that road too. I have been out 4k to someone who was once close to me- I am young so for someone to owe me 4k, is a lot of money!! I've had to eat crap and endure the bad credit ratings but stay positive. I know that I will never see that money from him so i have moved on-Nothing is forever, everytign comes to light in due time:)

Ohh I feel for you my friend.It's so frustrating that your own parents cheated you.I undertand that its not easy to earn that money for the down payment of your new car.Feel sad to think why there are parents like that.I remember the story of my best friend.Shes now in canada and her mom and dad is in cebu.Her dad has a prostate cancer so she sends money(15k)every week for the medicines.My bestfriend called me one time crying because her mom is asking for additional financial support becuase the medicines is too expensive.But the worst thing she heard from her aunt and even to her sis that her mom and dad is always in casino spending the money in slot machine,bingo etc and often times they went home early in the morning with no more money.That time she cried to me, I feel that shes having that pain of being cheated.She just can't react directly cause she knews her moms attitude. Going back to your story just try to move on.It's not good to fight and fight with your parents just to get back that money.I understand its not easy but dont worry it's just a matter of money.You can still find that amount by working hard.You have a good heart so believe that you will receive more than twice the amount you loses.Good act has always a reward....God bless.

You have every right to be mad , but what i suggest you is ask them why did they do such a thing to you , because if you wont ask and if they are in a problem then you are the one who would be blamed afterwards, and if they did it simply for money then also you should ask because otherwise they may harm you later, May god be with you in such a disastrous situatiuon.

What a nightmare. I am sorry that happemned to you, as it really doesn't get any lower than stealing from your own child. I hope you are able to get your money back, but if you do, I don't see how you can ever trust them again. I wouldn't want anything more to do with anyone like that.

Oh thats awful hun. I know I can't help you much by saying this but still be strong. *hugs*
