Today, my mother sent my birthday present to me four days late. It was a handy keychain blood alcohol detector so I can make sure I'm sober before I drive. FML

Today, I reached into my pocket and found my mom's car keys. I'm a four hour drive away, and she obviously can't come to pick them up. FML

Today, my mother-in-law gave me a bottle of champagne for my birthday. This is the third year in a row she has done this. I'm a recovering alcoholic, and she's well aware of that fact. FML

Today, the gift my mother had mailed me for my birthday finally arrived. It was a gift card for Starbucks. A gift card that had already been redeemed. FML

Today, as usual, my mom got shitfaced and started berating me for something. This time, it was for missing a therapy appointment. Not only am I unable to drive, it was her appointment. For her alcoholism. FML

Today, it was my 16th birthday. My surprise was a new car, that is now in the side of the garage because my mom lost control while driving it around front. FML

Today, my mother had to ask me when my birthday was, because she gets it confused with the day she bought our old car. FML

Today, my mom showed up completely hammered to a party I was throwing. The party was to celebrate the ten years that I've been sober. FML

Today, I was having my birthday party. My dad showed up late, blind drunk, and drove his car straight through my garage door. FML

Sounds like a gag gift my Dad would give me, even though I'm too much of a wuss to drink. I'll kill myself slowly with cola, thanks.

My older brother just died because he was hit by a drunk driver. I think it's a thoughtful gift to give someone. It shows they care.

Is your mother perhaps hinting at something?

I kinda wanted to rate it "you probably deserved it", but unfortunately that's not an option.

Clearly this is an FML. This wonderful gift arrived four days after the OP needed it. Too late. She's busted.

This isn't an FML at all. It's a neat thing to have, even if you never need to use it. The only reason you would call this an FML is if you were hoping your mom didn't know about your drinking problem >.>

Your mom sounds awesome. Here's why: she cares about your safety she doesn't want you to get arrested she actually teaches you she didn't just blow it off when she realized she forgot to send you a present or she had been waiting to get one of those she wants you to be a responsible person and trusts you to do it yourself and care enough about yourself she doesn't think you're worthless enough to not do all of the above.
