Today, I broke into tears at work after being told my aunt had a stroke. My boss told me to "suck it up, no one is that close to their aunt." My aunt adopted me when my mother passed away. FML

Thanks for all the supportive comments. When I explained to him the situation he apologised and sent me home. I reported him to my senior manager and he has since received a warning for inappropriate behavior. My aunt is doing really well now, they caught it early and they say she will make a 100% recovery. She's talking again as well, but she will have to stay in hospital for a while for monitoring. Reading all the comments made me feel a lot better as well, thank you!

That was very inconsiderate of him and pretty dumb to just assume! A lot of people are close to their aunt.

Your boss must be a legitimate asshole if he judges you for being sad when a loved one dies.

First I hope you're aunt is recovering well. Second his is the saddest FML I've ever read. Third you have a very heartless person as a boss. Honestly I thing I would have crushed his face

You must not've been on FML very long if this is the saddest post you've read.

Sorry for your loss OP, your boss is a complete asshole. He can't assume that you don't have a good relationship with relatives just because he might not. I hope you set him straight. I hope your aunt has quick recovery.

HR issue? I would have just left work, if he would have tried anything I would contact anyone above him. Sorry to hear OP!

I hope she has a full recovery. Sadly, the asshole to nice person ratio in this world is incredibly high.

I originally came onto this site for laughs (and some posts did amuse me) but until then I never knew how many inconsiderate assholes there were, like this person's boss.

She had a stroke. She didn't necessarily die.
