Merry Christmas, I guess…

By anon - This FML is from back in 2014 but it's good stuff - United States - Irwin

Today, a very drunk woman at the family Christmas party told me she felt terrible that I didn't have a mother who cared about me. She's my mother. FML

what is this sarcasm you speak of?

"Merry Christmas sweetie! You're adopted!"

People say stuff they don't mean when they're drunk. Don't take it to heart.

Jesus would say to ur mom: woman, begone!

Don't worry, OP, the majority of what people say drunk is utter nonsense. The cliche that "drunk words are sober thoughts" is not only utterly untrue, but in fact fairly harmful. Do not believe that rubbish for an instance. It's most likely she was either annoyed with you, and had a vast overreaction because of drinking; or she was simply messing with you, and thought it would be funny (again because of drinking).

You don't know how to use sarcasm right...

you saw that movie too? Perfect Sister good movie

At least she "felt terrible" for you, that means that she cares about you
