Hey, Hey Waffle gang, I do hope you're well. My name is Mark and today we're checking out

some more relationship stories. And if you do love a Reddit story, why not consider hitting

that like, subscribe, maybe that notification bell too. But let's crack on with today's first story.

And our first story comes from OK Carpet who says, my mom stole 8K from me

and opened credit cards in my name. I haven't talked to my mom for a little over one year now,

but this is the story of my mom's lies. Growing up, my mom was always in and out of jail for stealing.

Last time she was arrested in 2015. I was 19 at the time.

Joey said she stole to provide for our family, but we never lived in a stable home. She would just

blow money on expensive gifts and tell us we aren't poor, we have this. How many poor kids have this?

As we live from hotel to hotel.

Growing up I became the financially responsible child.

I worked multiple jobs, got good grades and community service.

I was able to save up $8,500 for college with multiple scholarships.

During my hard work in high school, I also helped my mom with bills and paying for whatever

she needed help with. When I left for college, she was arrested again and had to be dropped

off states away by my aunt for my first day of college. I asked my mom for my college money

and she said she would transfer the money when she got out. When she got out, it all magically

disappeared. She blamed my dead grandmother for stealing my money.

In 2019, I discovered multiple credit cards and an apartment late on bills were opened in my name.

I cried to my mom about all these issues and she comforted me and asked for more money.

I gave her more money.

I graduated with my BA and went to grad school.
