Ok so my last year at school I have been cutting everything pretty cheap. Working to pay for my car and to live. I had a few little incidents where I needed to go to the doctor and dentist and when I called my parents they told me to just go to the local clinic and just pay the $100 or whatever it was going to cost. I ended up doing this 3 times, almost $500 total, and went to the dentist once for a nice fat bill of $1200, after the antibiotics.

At the time all of this happened I would have to max a credit car just to do anything, you know how it is at school. Well my last digits of my social are 89, so I was suppose to get my stimulus check on the 11th of this month. I have been waiting for a while now and decided to give it until today. I got home from work and went to my parents house. Got the mail and saw nothing still so I called the IRS.

After talking to a billion different automated people i finally got a person to talk to.

"Welll Mr. McNamara, because of your dependence status, you are not eldgable for the stimulus check".

I paused and said "Excuse me, what??!!"

She then went on to tell me that my parents claimed me this year.

I went back and forth and told the lady that I didnt live with them. They didnt pay my car note, my insurance, my schooling bill, my cell phone bill, anything. I filed for single and not being a dependent and everything else.

She cam back and said because THEY claimed me that I still wouldnt be able to get the $600 check.

Ok so now this is the F'd up part. I call my dad and was like WTF why did you claim me. He said, aint I quote "SO YOU CAN HAVE HEALTH DENTAL AND VISION COVERAGE"...

I was like WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have all this insurance and you guys let me just go to the local clinic and dentist and pay a arm and a leg when I had a $20 co-pay...

I swear if they werent my biological parents they would be LONG GONE....

lol...parents.
