"Moral Money: 'My parents used my childhood savings to clear debts – should I ask for it back?'
I recently learned from my grandparents that when I was younger they gave my parents several thousand pounds intended to be the start of long-term savings for myself.
My parents have never mentioned the money to me. I'm now 19 and studying at university, so need all funds available.
My parents have in the past battled with debts, which is where I think the money has gone. Although they are now financially more secure, they still have a mortgage and other financial commitments.
Should I bring it up with them, or ask my grandparents to? Or should I just accept that I must write this money off?"
