Today, my mom left for Italy at 4 in the morning. I found a note in my lunch that said "Sorry hun! I'm not coming back! Say bye to Cessna for me!" Cessna is her cat. FML
I agree, your life sucks (33527) - you totally deserved it (1138)

That's whe you wait 5 years, get enough money for both a PI and a plane ticket, track her down, knock on her door, and PUNCH HER IN THE OVARIES!
In 5 years, I'll be waiting for an FML that says "Today, some random woman knocked on my door and punched me in the ovaries. FML"
Hasta la vista! Anyone want a cat? Apparently mom doesn't want it.

Dearest mother,
I thought you'd like to know that I'm doing just fine by myself. You'd be so proud, I cooked myself an amazing traditional Italian meatball dish last night. Well, with a few slight substitutions - you left me with an empty fridge and no money, so I made do.
Want the recipe? They have cats in Italy, right?
Love,
Your abandoned child.

It's time for Cessna to fly... into the oncoming traffic.

A bit more detail'd have been nice really...I know the character limit is (too) little but mentioning your age, if you still have your dad etc might've been nice. Not to say the fact they just left your life like that is never fun. I'm a bit skeptic about this fml though....even assuming you're of age there're likely tons of stuff she didn't do which could cause her and you a fair bit of hassle...
Yeah I agree but still, if she was old enough and she did have her dad, kinda bitchy/inconsiderate to just leave with the only goodbye being a note...
#17 - On 10/10/2009 at 2:50pm by Sun_Kissed18
Oh certainly, there're few circumstances where this wasn't a bitchy move. Just saying, the FML description already is so short, please use all of it so it isn't incredible vague.
Wow. That sounds like manic behaviour- does she have bipolar disorder? If not, either this is indicative of her being totally selfish, or she was totally hating her life and had been planning...either way, you'll both probably be happier.

Sounds like a joke anyone would make before vacationing somewhere desirable. Heck, the mom even packed her a lunch before leaving at 4 a.m.
#9 - On 10/10/2009 at 2:27pm by HaveNoShame
Run away to Vietnam with the cat, and take care of it so much that it's yours.
#13 - On 10/10/2009 at 2:37pm by Ohnothingreally
man that sucks balls. stop worrying about her cat. and worry about yourself
#14 - On 10/10/2009 at 2:38pm by michaelcarell
Enough she spent like fifteen hours on one to get to Italy.
#61 - On 10/10/2009 at 9:03pm by RubixMonkey
This isn't an FML on the simple fact that you have a cat named Cessna. That's just f***ing awesome.
Does he/she have a model number too? Cessna Aerobat! That's a sweet cat name.
Thats terrible, not to mention weak.
There's a lot more I could say on it but I cant find a suitable way to formulate it.
this story is not true, international flights only leave in the early evening. I have flown to Italy many times and i can safely say that your mother would not have left at 4 in the morning
Just because they left for Italy at 4 in the morning does not mean that they would've gone straight for the airport. Believe me. My dad left in the middle of the night, and didn't even take a plane to where he was going until the next day. There's other things they can do... Like pack. And buy shit. Indulge in other people...

You were one of those kids in school who told on other students? right?
#26 - On 10/10/2009 at 3:34pm by mikeyforge
Uh. Just keep in mind that not everyone lives in the same place you do, idiot. I've had MANY international flights early in the morning.
#30 - On 10/10/2009 at 3:46pm by sundayporch
Wow, you are so special. Let me guess, Op's mother should have waited to leave when everyone was up, fed, and clothed. Then she could have left a forwarding address while she was "saving orphans" in beautiful Italy. Then she could have popped home like Mary Poppins every time the Op was hurt or upset. Hell she should have taken the whole family.
Grow up.

Not a very direct route, but right now it came up in a search as the cheapest connection.
Her first flight wasn't necessarily to Italy...she could have had a layover somewhere.
#85 - On 10/11/2009 at 11:58am by fmlcomment
maybe they took another airline dipshit. or left early because she had to drive far to get to the airport. obviously, you know nothing.
you're the dipsh*t. He meant she said she wasn't ever coming back. It had nothing to do with what time in the morning she left.
Wow this sure is awful. Your mom leaves home for good, and assuming you don't live in rented accommodation, you now have a free house for life. That sure is a terrible thing! [/sarcasm]
acctually tht is pretty bad.....what if ur mom did tht
#88 - On 10/11/2009 at 5:48pm by fancydragongirl
plexico comments r startn to get dissapointin:( u need to get laid... I know sum one that can help
#31 - On 10/10/2009 at 3:47pm by getreadysetfml
Is that an offer, sweetcakes?
Plexi, I'm pretty sure they're offering.
#33 - On 10/10/2009 at 3:50pm by redbluegreen
That is... fucked up.
Keep the cat, care for it, and if your mom ever wants it back, tell her "You said goodbye, what did you expect?"
You had been takepretty good care of that cat, though. >=K
#32 - On 10/10/2009 at 3:48pm by monster_tamer
YLIG!!!!.Now you can partly like billy mays after he snorted oxi-clean and used orange glo as lub when he has butt-sex with ShamWow guy.
#40 - On 10/10/2009 at 4:37pm by ShetHappensxx
Sounds like she was joking. Lots of people I talk to say they are not coming back from vacation.. did she actually take enough clothes, money, etc..??
#42 - On 10/10/2009 at 4:44pm by Mamula34
That's messed up! Don't harm the kitty but if your mom ever asks for the cat you say: 'sorry mom, Cessna and I are leaving for fifth avenue. Say goodbye to the house for me!', then camp in the backyard for a while.
#47 - On 10/10/2009 at 5:35pm by parentssuck4398
The real FML here is that the OP thought her mom was serious.
#49 - On 10/10/2009 at 6:12pm by coffee_addict7
so send her a letter saying love you mom thanks for the free house and the free cat soup bitch
#51 - On 10/10/2009 at 6:40pm by Mylife_is_so_fd
I sure she wasn't serious. Everybody say's "I'm Not coming back!' when they go on vacation There almost never serious
#59 - On 10/10/2009 at 8:01pm by captaincanoe
Although if you really think she's serious I'd love to hear the conversation when she comes back
Her: Hi, i'm back did you miss me, why's this place a mess?
You: Wha...what are you doing back!, I thought you weren't coming back?
Her: What are you talking about the trip was only a month long
You: But you said in your note you weren't coming back and to say by to your cat
Her: Wait, you thought I was serious!? that's what everybody says when they leave on vacation speaking of my cat where's is she?
You: Your cat's gone when you said you weren't coming back I gave her away
Her: What the hell's wrong with you!, how could you think I was serious! I need to go to my room to put stuff away will talk about this in a mintue
You: Wait mom....
Her: What the hell happened to my room, why's your stuff in here!
You: Well when I thought you were gone for good I moved my stuff in here it's bigger
Her: Where's all my things, what did you do with it?
You: Well a combination of Craigslist and Ebay, the rest was given to a local thrift store or thrown out
Her: YOU STUPID IDIOT!!!!
she then proceeds to strangle you
#60 - On 10/10/2009 at 8:20pm by captaincanoe
I have no sympathy just because I think it's fake. This would never happen, and if it did, the person wouldn't go on the internet to talk about it.
Yes because people on the internet are all upstanding logical people.
#65 - On 10/10/2009 at 9:18pm by LaceyPatrickson
How old is your mother, exactly? Try not to become a criminal and sociopath with a mother like that. I pray to God you're old enough for her to do that to you without it scarring you for life. Please tell me you're in your twenties...I have a feeling you're really young, though, because you had a lunch packed. I hope you have a decent dad and siblings. F your mom. She's a beyotch.
Whoah, I accidentally responded to the wrong comment. Sorry 'bout that one. This comment has nothing to do with yours, #70
Obviously this is the cats fault. If the cat hadn't cheated on frank and moved to canada to start that sowing buisness, your mom would still be here. FYL
#73 - On 10/10/2009 at 11:58pm by JingleDingle123
You think that the mom was joking? Jesus Christ, when you become a parent and leave a little joke on the table saying that you're leaving for good to your kids, what do you think they will do? Just laugh and say," Oh, they're just joking, right?" I don't think so. Even if it was a joke, that's a pretty fucked up one.
wow your mom sucks. that is a horrible joke to play on a child. when i was twelve my mom did the same joke but it was after she had a serious fight with my dad and left the house shouting she would never come back. i cried all day only to have her walk in the house at 10:30 eating mcdonalds
#76 - On 10/11/2009 at 1:02am by sexyoc69
either it was a joke (in which case she has a horrible sense of humor and she deserves to have the cat given away, her stuff sold and a wild party thrown in the house) or she is a horrible person and should be shot before she tries to reproduce again
Everyones saying horrible shit about the mom and no one even knows how old the OP is. They could be 20 something and still living at home.
First off, no one even knows how old the OP is. They could be in there 20's still living at home. Why assume the mom is so horrible for leaving her child?
I wonder how old you are. Because if you're in your 30's and still living with your mom, I don't blame her.
#64 you would be surprised by what somone would do to their kid.and the kid mite feel tht the internet is a good place to write out their stuff and feelings if they have no one tht they could talk to about it. im assumng its a child or someone around my age(16) tht we are talking about cause i dont think someone in their 20 or 30s would have a lunch packed for them.
#90 - On 10/11/2009 at 6:04pm by fancydragongirl
So your mother finally got up the courage to go do something she's probably wanted to do for ages. Good on her.
You're left with a cat to deal with - big deal. Suck it up, there are plenty of worse things that could have happened to your mother.
I'm really sorry! She obviously has some issues with herself... but I have to add, don't take it out on the cat please, s/he doesn't know what's gong on... give her/him to the SPCA or something
Wow, FYL, your mom's a bitch (no offense of course). And who names their cat Cessna? Just asking...
#104 - On 11/26/2009 at 2:04pm by sayheyyybabe
Sounds like my dumb ass mom. Sorry OP, it def sucks but it'll make you a stronger a person in the end.
#106 - On 01/13/2010 at 1:11am by sciencexgeek
Wtf how old are you? If you're under 18, do you have anyone to care for you? If you're over 18 and have a job, it's good your mom left you. It's time to get off your ass and make your own lunch.
