Autumn: Leaves and Laughter
When the leaves fall, the laughter rises. Discover autumn stories as crisp as dried leaves!
Today, my mom told my abusive ex-boyfriend, whom I broke up with 5 days ago, that he is always welcome at my house. She "misses him". FML
Today, I finally got a restraining order against my violent ex. My mom now keeps finding ways to tell me how shitty I am for breaking the "poor boy's" heart and how I didn't deserve him anyway. FML
Today, I had to change my mobile number because I was getting abuse from a guy, so I sent my new number to all of the people on my contact list. Including him. FML
Today, my mom ambushed me with my cheating ex-fiancé, thinking being in the same room would miraculously change the past and we’d get back together. When I tried to walk out, my mom screamed like a banshee and latched onto my leg. After this I’m putting her in a retirement home and never visiting. FML
Today, my mom came to me, hysterically crying that her boyfriend had hit and choked her. I’d feel bad for her except he’s my ex who also beat me, yet when I turned to my mother for help she decided to take him in instead and get pregnant with his kid. What goes around comes around bitch! FML
Today, my mom still spends time with my ex because, as she puts it, we might be divorced now but there’s no reason they can’t still be friends. This is the woman who tricked me into raising another man’s baby for three months before I got suspicious and got a paternity test. Screw you mom. FML
Today, my mother shared my phone number with my brother, despite my explicit wishes that she didn't. He immediately went and put it on Craigslist and several other websites. This is the fourth time I've had to change my number for that very same reason. FML
Today, my mom called me to tell me she'd got in touch with my ex for his birthday, and that the two of them had made a plan for us to get back together. My new boyfriend was in the process of proposing to me. FML
Today, after 4 days of avoiding me and screening his calls, my 24-year-old boyfriend sent his mother to break up with me on his behalf. FML
Today, my mother yet again chose to put my brother's junkie of an ex-girlfriend's needs and happiness above mine, despite the fact that she's stolen thousands of dollars and anything else of value from my mom's house. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

text him pretending to be your mom
mif_fml 27
What the hell is wrong with your mom?
KeannaLove 32
Or she could change her number again just not give her mother it and hope her ex doesn't get it.
DudeEvil 22
Orr....she could burn her, WITH FIRE!! XD
ironichalibut 24
Or buy a phone plan with caller ID and the ability to block numbers. . . . THEN BURH HER WITH FIRE!

14 it costs a good amount of money to change your number, and its a big hassle
plaguer 26
Agree with 49. OP should invest in an app that blacklists numbers instead of paying to change her number again.
QQmore_fml 18
I'm sorry.. You're right! I'll correct my self, then i'll burn her, WITH FIRE!!!!
evilscorpi 29
blocking the number wont stop him completly if the mother is helping him get to her.
annihil8or 15
So you're implying that op and her mother aren't going to talk on her next number?
Reaper1984 13
Ya'll are doing it wrong..... burn him with fire
rawr_ily96 24
Fine... Burn her with fire, THEN burn him. :)
Reaper1984 13
No, thats overkill, burning him takes care of the problem. Besides, OP's mom would get the point then.
apax 9
I think I'll be hiding all the matches now.
countryrose92 23
For my plan it doesn't cost to change my number, it's just a hassle. But it costs to block numbers, so invest in caller ID, ask him to stop then report him for harassment if he continues. Oh, and ill just use a lighter to BURN HIM WITH FIRE!!
SHAMUS_the_WITTY 18
Burn him with ACID!
mattlw 25
And then, when shes all better tell her to give it another chance.
Catkam623 27
Another chance to BURN HIM WITH FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!?

49 Do you know what else costs money? Medical bills.

Or, she can block her mom to get thru to her by using an app. It's fairly simple. Hell, there's an app out there that allows unlimited texting and calls, but your phone will be sending out as if you have an entirely different number. I wish I could remember the name of the app. I feel badly for OP; she can't even trust her own mother.
still_guns 16
I completely agree with you
apax 9
Viber lets you do that. You have to be in a wifi zone to use it though.
soccerluver315 14
@94 That app is called texfree I believe.
Catkam623 27
She could just BURN HIM WITH FIRE!!!!!
Iknoweverything 29
Not all people have phones that work with apps. Some of us are still resisting smart phones of all types, so apps aren't always an option. (Horrors of horrors, I know, but you know what? I can run over my dinosaur phone several times with only a scratch or two, and it STILL WORKS)
ballbearing 10
I wish you could remember the name too. I want that!
melanie232323 7
Wow, you really need to have a chat with your mother.
TorisaurusRexxx 10
Op's mother seems pretty stubborn about making decisions for her daughter. Talking to her probably won't change much, sadly.

I just think it's horrible. It must be very hard and difficult to get out of an abusive relationship (so I've heard) and normally family and friends encourage someone to get out of an abusive relationship and are there for that person once they've succeeded. But with a mom like this, it must become a lot harder :/
nature_girl_08 14
139: you're quite right. the problem with abusive relationships, though, is that often the abusive party has a kind public face; the only person who sees how awful they are is the person they're abusing. quite often, they alternate between abuse and loving attitudes, and/or make the abused party feel as though it's their fault because they've done something wrong, which is why so many women (and men) steadfastly stand behind their abusive partner. it's mental brainwashing, and be a very, very difficult situation to come out of. the fact that OP's mother has decided to intervene in this way simply shows she's either completely dense or never saw that side of him. either way, I would block said abuser's number and have a very long talk with the mother.

change your number again. don't give it to your idiotic mother.
HeadlessSparrow 20
Give him a second chance of guessing your number when you change your number again!
ViviMage 39
Block his number? Comcast is *60
junkman6 22
I was wondering why she didn't just block the number. I've had stalker exs before and blocking their number is always better than changing your number.
slytherbitch 15
Even if she blocked his number, he could still call or text from any other phone. And with all the apps that have free texting and random numbers, it would be easy.
Obey_StudBoii 23
She could always block his number by using this app called "Call Blocker". Works like a charm.
LebanonBaby 26
LOL way to go mom ! -.-
LebanonBaby 26
I was joking guys ! ^ :$

Comment moderated for rule-breaking.
At what point did it cross your mind that "Hey here's one on abuse great time for a joke reply"?
TheManager 6
37- The comments section is the place for jokes. Even the most depressing FMLs can be made light of in the land of comments. Her comment wasn't down voted because it was offensive or off color... It was merely bland and unoriginal. :p
LebanonBaby 26
LOL well thanks that made me feel better :P
Axel5238 29
Possible, but considering it's concerning abuse jokes are in poor taste. If it was an fml regarding sexual assault and rape you would find something funny?
LebanonBaby 26
Well i apoligise if i offeded anyone or my comment seemed rude but i wasnt making fun or joking about abuse... I had no bad intentions at all :) i thought her mom giving him her number after he changed it was a bit funny, and thats aside from the abuse ! Im very sorry :)

#79... Lighten up and get the stick out of your ass. I get that some FML's are really really FYL, but it's on a damn website for God's sake, where you share your misfortune with the world. If someone didn't want it made fun of or poked at, don't post it on FML. Abuse or rape is never funny, but as I said before, don't post it on a website that's meant to be taken lighthearted, and OP probably knew jokes would be cracked and random things written. So.. Yeah.
mattlw 25
@ 79. Rape is not funny. Your terrible use of punctuation, grammar, and sentence structuring abilities are, however, hilarious!
buddy51 23
OP-Don't be fooled twice! It's time to change your number again and this time don't tell the one who is the REAL problem... your betraying mom!! Leave the abusive guy and the betraying mom and you will be fine! Courage!!! You can do it!!
annie_nk 22
Mother doesn't always know best.
NickaPLZ 26
You got that right!
mokielove 10
wow you need to change the number again. and have a very serious talk with your mother.
