Family, Relatable and Students: Unwanted

Unwanted

By Anonymous - 28/04/2021 00:30

Today, I found out my mom had been telling everyone how independent I was and just wanted to be left alone. I was homeless when I graduated valedictorian from high school and wondering why no one would let me stay with them, even when it was snowing. Now I know. FML

Today, I realized that even though I was an honor student throughout school, and considered the golden child who was going to go far in life, all I've accomplished a year after graduation is becoming an unemployed single mother still living with my parents. FML

Today, I decided it was time to start looking for my own place and finally gain my full independence. My mom agreed happily without hesitation, which was surprising, but not anywhere near as surprising as finding out I have one day to get my shit together and leave. FML

Today, I moved back home because I got laid off and could no longer afford my apartment. I decided to take a nap and when I woke up I overheard my Mom telling my Aunt that she used to be so proud of me and wonders when I became such a loser. Burn. FML

Today, after telling my parents just exactly what I thought of them and that I was moving out, the person I was supposed to move in with called to say they'd decided they would rather live alone. FML

Today, I got into a fight with my mom, and stormed out of the house. I walked two blocks before realizing that I have no place to go, and no friends to vent to. FML

Today, in front of the entire family, I yelled at my mom and told her she wasn't a good parent. She responded with "Well, at least I had friends when I was your age." FML

Countdown

Today, I finally got all of my finances to move out of my house. My mother, instead of being happy for me for moving out of her house, blames me because she needs my rent money, states I will not be happy out in the world and disowned me because I didn't move out when she wanted me to. She wanted me to stay until she was 55. FML

When you have a toxic family the story is guaranteed to be too long to fit in an fml. There's obviously more to it and you'd be a dick to just assume/imply that OP, a homeless CHILD, is at fault just because they haven't written you the whole novel.

That's ****** up. Since your mom set those standards for you indirectly and double crossed you by making poverty inevitable, you should grant yourself peace by cutting her off forever! I believe that a person chooses their family, not genes and bloodline relations. Grant yourself redemption by choosing your own family like best friends and a partner. Treat yourself and farewell out there.

raised by a narcissist. still say there's no way NO ONE questioned op as to what the mother said about them.

Yeah....'Cause this doesn't really make sense. why would he be homeless out of high school and not living with the mom. And if mom.knew they were homeless, then why would she say that stuff. And if he was actively asking friends yo let him stay with them, then why would they believe what the mom was saying? It doesn't add up.

I don't think it matters. its a shit thing to do to your own kid, regardless.

ya because why would the family believe the mothers story over OP literally telling them she wants to move in... also if she told them she was homeless it wouldn't be about "independence" anymore it would be about getting your relative out of the cold snowy winter night

Absolutely. My mother pulled a similar thing on me. Not quite as drastic, but she essentially told people I was lying and didn't need help. It's been about 10 years, and they've finally realized what happened, but I'm very glad I got away from her. I'm so proud of you, OP. I can't imagine how you kept your grades up with so much stress and abuse in your life. Good luck with everything!
