Context: Prior to my Sophomore year of college, before the summer. My mom(64)had taken a fall and injured her hand quite badly, and after my dad took her to the doctor. Where it was found out that she has either AlS/PLS, and over time it got worse. She went from walking with a cane, to now not being able to move, can barely speak well, is in a wheelchair, has to wear an oxygen mask, has uncontrollable fits of laughter and crying, and needs to be fed by another person and soon needs to get a feeding tube.

It started last year during the fall quarter of my college sophomore year(19M). I had just finished working over the summer at my job to save up money for college to make me last throughout the whole school year. Over a few thousand dollars easily. About a week after I had gotten to my new dorm, I get a huge $2000 check into my bank account. I was excited because I thought it was one of my scholarships that I had applied for. My mom then texted me saying she saw the deposit in my own account(my bank account is my own, but she's connected in someway I think so that she can give or take money in case she needs some or if I need help). And asked me if I could let her hold onto the $2000 so she could give it back to me for when just needed it later in the school year. I declined at first saying that I wanted to hold onto it. But she said she thought I would spend it, and eventually she convinced me go let her hold onto it for later. I was bit disappointed, but after a bit I let it go. Figuring she'd just give it to me when I needed it later, and since she had reimbursed me before in the past, I figured she'd do it again.

That was until I found out until 2 months later in November, as I was in the middle of one of my classes, I get a call from the bank where they basically said they made an oppsie daisy and explained: "Hey, sorry. That money we put in your account 2 months ago wasn't actually yours, but someone else's rent money. So we need to take it back out amd give it to them." Naturally, I panicked because the money currently in my account wasn't any of the $2000, it was my own hard earned money, and I was still under the belief that my mom was still holding onto the money. So I told them to call and talk to her in order to sort out the money problem because I believed she still had it. A few minutes later, I get a call back from the bank saying that they took care of it. I then checked my bank account, and I saw over $2000 had been taken out of it. So in a panic, I texted and called my parents explaining that I just lost $2000, and wanted to know where the other $2000 was because the money the bank had taken wasn't any of the others persons rent money, but my own hard earned money I spent all summer saving up. The response I get from my mom: "Money is tight right now, please stop." I then was able to get in contact with my dad, where he then explained that they didn't have the money, and were tight on it because over the time ever since my mom first got diagnosed, her condition had been getting worse and worse and had to buy an expensive ass recliner($6000~) for her to sit on so she can be in the living room and not lay in bed all day, they also had to pay for meds, doctors appointments, etc. And that's why they didn't have the money. But he said that he would make sure to fix it and ensure that I would get my money back.

That was over 5 months ago, and so far my dad's paid me back around $800~, and still owes me $1200. He paid me back the $800 in checks of $100-$150 when I asked him if he could spare any money whenever I was running low and couldn't pay my phone bill/groceries. I have a college food plan, but the foods and items are so expensive that budgeting is near impossible, and I would run out before the quarter even ended, and the money on our student cards/accounts don't refill until the next quarter. So everytime my student food plan would run low, I would take money from my bank account to put it into my student account to last me a while longer, but it would soon run out. This was somewhat hard for him to do as over the time since I lost my money to present day, my mom's condition kept getting worse and worse and it was getting more expensive to take care of her. But he was still able to make sure to do what he could to give me some money when I asked if he could give some.

But I'm still somewhat upset and mad at the fact that I lost a lot of money from my bank account that I worked hard to save up for to last me throughout the whole school year, only to lose 2/3 of it. And because of how fast I ran out of money, I soon wasn't able to afford the things I needed or wanted to do. Couldn't afford a lot of food, had to live off cheap Ramen and pb&j sandwiches for weeks. I couldn't go hang/eat out with my friends, couldn't go to the movies, my phone bill, or buy merch. The main reasons i worked over the summer. It got bad that a couple points I needed to ask my dad for money so I could pay my phone bill and so I could pay for a textbook I needed for class. My phone bill being so high that anytime he did give me money, my phone bill alone would take half if not most of my money and that left me with little to put into my college student account(using it gives your 10% off for every item/meal you purchase) Occasionally, I had to resort to the donation charity locations on campus for food. But it would usually only be just a few cans of soup, cheap Ramen, a couple drink, and some snacks that would barely last you more than a few days at best. Am I wrong to be still be kinda mad at them for this?
