I always told my son, as he was growing up, that his mother and I had been saving for his college fees. Well, his 18th birthday is coming up, and he asked us for his college savings now because he decided to join the Church of Scientology.
The problem is, he doesn't really have any savings at all. I'm the only one who knows this because years ago, on my way to the bank to start up his fund, I spent the money i DID have, to deposit, on a prostitute. And that's where every bit of the money has gone since that day. Once the truth comes out, this will ruin my marriage. My question is, what's that story about a son who asks for money then spends it all and becomes poor and has to come back to his father for mercy? I want to use that on my son to make him change his mind about his fund for a while.

you should explain to him that college isnt cool.
college breeds wife beaters, child molsters, and abortions... or at least people who pose as them on yahoo answers

That is the story of the prodigal son...and it does not apply to you...because the father in the story gives the money to his son and the son leaves...while he is away he wastes all the money on gambeling, drinking, partying and prostitutes...than when he has nothing left he comes back to his father hoping that he will let him work for him...but when the son comes home the father is sooo happy to see him that he gives him everything he had back and says "my son was dead and now hes alive".....that story really does not apply to you....you should just tell your son that you lost it in the stock market because you were trying to increase the value so he'd have more by the time he was older...thats what my dad did with my college money....haha...and while your at it...tell him not to become a scientologist...cuz i read an artical about that and they treat the people who join that really baddly....this girl ran away because she was treated sooo terrible...and they never let her leave the building or visit her family.

The 'story' is actually a parable in the Bible about the prodigal son. I hardly think a parent that used college money to finance his sins of an adulterous affairs with prostitutes should use a Biblical story to teach the child a moral lesson. Admit the truth to your wife, seek counseling, and with your wife determine how to handle the situation with your son.

Sir, since you have the nerve to post this question you must have the nerve to do what is the proper thing, You must realize that it was a stupid thing putting your child's education on the line second to nasty and dangerous fun that can cost your marriage and make an enemy of your child. the first step is to talk to your wife about everything, better to hear it from you than find out elsewhere once that is in hand You both can speak to the child
it will not be easy ( discuss getting a loan to pay college fees
and encourage him to go to school rather than join some stupid cult hiding as religion

Well it sounds to me like you have a serious problem to deal with. Your son wants to go to college and you spent HIS money on hookers. Well I would say that you should probably talk to someone professionally about this and ask them how to come clean with yourself and your family. There is a bigger problem here than the fact that your son doesn't have the money anymore, its the fact that you have been spending his money on SEX for 18 years knowing that some day he would come for it. You need to definitly see a professional and get help because it appears to me that you have a sex addiction that needs to be dealt with. Expect disappointment and probably anger from your family because you let this progress this long and now there is no way around it!!

Forget about a story, all your doing is delaying the inevitable. Time to face the music. Be honest with your son about not having the money, I don't think he needs to know about your sick habit, but your wife does. Find a therapist and get your **** together. You've been deceiving your wife all these years and now you want advise as to how to deceive your son? May God have mercy on you!!

You spent your childs college fund on what? I would tell the truth and let it set you free. If your wife is an understanding person, then she will understand (as long as you are not still doing it). Honesty is the best policy, not coming up with "stories" to make him "forget about it for a while"...what's going to happen next year, when he wants it then?????

This isn't real! This is nothing but your poor attempt at being funny and taking advantage of people's good nature to want to waste time helping a jerk like you! What? Do you and your friends sit around laughing themselves into oblivion (Oh! If it only that were possible!) at the "fools" who cared enough about you are your "family" to take the time to try to help? If this is the only way you can get your jollies, then you and your friends need some serious help!

You need to tell your wife and your son what you've done and been doing. Your marriage already has problems, so confessing isn't what will ruin it. Telling your son a lie to protect your other lies is not going to help one bit.
I know a father who had his son legally emancipated when he didn't want to get caught up with financial troubles related to cheating, so I bet you could do that too. It sounds like he can't count on you much already anyway.

OMGosh! What an aweful thing you have done!
I seriously hope you are kidding here. That is disgusting! AND you've continued to do it all these 18 years too!
Do your soul a fav- confess, ask for forgiveness, and sell your damn car, boat, and whatever you DO have in your life and give your son his money like YOU said you would!
You know, your wife and your son will hate you for this..and YOU deserve it!
OMGosh!
Pray about this first and seek guidance, since you STILL do the prostitute thing- you are one SICK bastard!
