Sadly there is nothing to ensure parents are good people. It’s luck of the draw and some get good ones, some get bad ones. Just like all people, some are good and some are bad.

I don’t know how you will support yourself or survive without your parents. I do know that you need to figure it out as your parents are not good people and you don’t deserve being treated like that.

To others: What the actual fuck? Steal the coins your son collected with his grandfather? That’s just cruel.

I enjoy this creative text

OP please listen to this part above anything else in this thread, your parents are scummy losers and you should be very worried about them stealing your identity and building up debt in your name.

So confident and so incorrect... In many countries (including the US) minors can indeed own property and money and their parents don't have the legal right to do whatever they want with it. They may have limited rights to stop the child from using it (banning them from using a computer or car etc.) but they can't steal them and sell them.

It sounds to me like you're a smart, determined and caring man who wanted to help his deadbeat parents and unfortunately got burned from it.

Listen to what others say and realise that this isn't your fuck up, you did a good thing and your parents are the fucked up ones that took advantage of their child and straight up lied to his face.

I saw somewhere you said you can't get a job because they use the money that you get and you wouldn't get it if you had a job but seriously, fuck them...

Use that same determination you have for getting the coins back to make sure you can move out as soon as you are able to, get whatever job you can get and save your ass off... Don't tell your parents how much you earn and don't let them have any of your money. It's not your fault they are in the position they're in and you shouldn't let them fuck up your life because they fucked up their lives.

That's terrible. I can't even imagine. I wish you all the best! I hope you are strong enough to take is as way to be better person than all of them. Don't let them drag you down. But jeez.. 15 years.. :/ that must be harsh.

Happy birthday!! If you ever need to talk my dm's are open❤

Man I know I could've done many things to save everything but my mind just got white. I was so damn scared that I did the only thing I thought was right. I want to travel to the past and punch me in the balls but the damage is done

Why wouldn't you at least send your music data somewhere before wiping your laptop? The email was about 15 days old, why were you in such an hurry, if something were to happen no one would wait that long, unless they don't have blackmail material and he only try to bag fools who react before thinking. Sorry, I'm as frustrated as you, you wasted so much time

Yeah I know. I just bought my PC so all the projects were in my laptop, so I thought my laptop was the backup, but I just deleted everything

Tbh not having hard copies of your data or your music somewhere is kind of on you.

I think your grandpa would be proud of you, keep collecting if you want to and make him even more proud with the new stuff you get. If you get your coins back or not, collecting coins will always be a thing you remember about him and thats the most important part. You will do great.

OP please see this

I would also like to help pitch in, I'm sure others will too. Could you provide details of where we can send you money?
