Today, my mom accused me of stealing money from her purse. Being totally innocent, I reminded her that the only other person with access to it is her boyfriend. She said she trusts him because she loves him. They've been dating for two months. I've been her daughter for 25 years. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I slipped money into my mother's purse after she refused to let me pay for lunch. She caught me in the act and thought I was stealing money from her instead. FML
Today, my mom accused me of stealing $350 from her. She didn't accuse my unemployed brother, who just bought a brand new iPhone. Even after he confessed to her, she thought he was covering for me. My brother has a criminal record for theft. FML
Today, my boyfriend told me that my mom paid him to date me. FML
Today, I discovered that the reason my mom hasn't been noticing the extra cleaning I've done lately is because her boyfriend took credit when she asked about it; and was rewarded for it in bed. I helped him get with my mom. FML
Today, I witnessed my mother-in-law reach into my wife's purse and practically empty it out into her pocket. When I confronted her and called my wife into the room, both of them accused me of lying through my teeth, because I've always hated her. FML
Today, I discovered my own mother has been stealing money from me for months when I opened my savings box to find it empty. FML
Today, my mom stole my holiday money because she found it “near her bag” in my kitchen and “assumed it was hers” and she must have “forgotten it was in there all this time.” I demanded it back, but she’d already spent it on hair, nails, shoes, and a date night with dad. She won’t pay me back either. FML
Today, my grandma calls me, accusing me of theft. I was home all day and watching Orange Is The New Black. When I asked what I stole, she said her car keys. I don’t even have my license. I told her to look in her purse. She found them. FML
Today, my mother accused me of stealing pills; she looked all over my room and couldn't find them. When she went back to the pantry, she saw them on the shelf below where they were supposed to be. She then accused me of putting them there while she was searching my room. FML
Today, my mother "borrowed" money from my stash to help pay for her vacation to the Dominican Republic. The same trip I'm not allowed to go on. FML

Your mother trusts her boyfriend because she loves him, but she doesn't trust you. It kind of sounds like your mom just told you that she doesn't love you.

Some people fall head over heels in love. Or just fall on their heads in love. And crack their ******* skulls...in love. Either way.

That's pretty bad, how she would trust a guy she has only dated for 2 months than her own daughter. Sorry to hear OP.
XxDevilxXGt 26
Yes, that is indeed what Op stated.

They say love is blind.

When you are in love (or think you are) your brain will ignore flaws in that person to a degree. This is what is happening here

She sounds more like a teenager than a responsible mother.

Maybe she meant a physical love? But that still is a terrible reason to trust somebody.

That's exactly what it is, her mother doesn't love her daughter in the right capacity. My mom accused me of stealing too, I was completely innocent, and then she actually told me she despised me. I recommend the OP do what I did - get away from her mother, because that is an unhealthy relationship which will always leave her heartbroken. Nothing hurts worse than your own mother hating you, abusing you, and accusing you. As hard as it is, she needs to get away from her mom.

Exactly.

People are quite often blinded by new and shiny things. The novelty will pass eventually.

The novelty or the positive sign on her bank account...

4, I think she was just applying Barney Stinson's one rule: new is always better.

And the next exit, according to his Freeway Theory, is 5 months away, so she couldn't get out of the relationship even if she wanted to.

Something is pretty ****** up when a mother accuses her daughter instead of her "trustworthy" new boyfriend
Free4ever 6
seems to me when someone loves a person they deny the bad side of them.
superpoptart 24
That's not love.

^ agreed. Love is knowing your partners faults and loving them anyways, not ignoring them.
Sandman366 6
Love is acknowledging everything right and wrong about a person (that you know anyway, though acknowledging they have secrets works too), and willing to stick with them through the best or worst of days. (Even if that sticking together means after walking through hell you start fighting. Like siblings - they could go back to back against the world, then turn around and brawl.) Ignoring what's wrong with someone is ignorance.

That's not love, that's infatuation.

Jeez, who's the mother here? Hope it doesn't last long OP.
MWidderAUDI 14
she will realize she was wrong when he screws her over.
EpicSquishii 21
He already did. He's stealing from her
dalink 24
And it's been 2 months... So I'm sure it's already happened.

And she wonders why her kids don't love her back.
CharresBarkrey 16
That's a bold assumption.
wlddog 14
Turnabout is fair play. It was simply a logical conclusion based on the viewpoint that parents teach their kids how to deal with the world. Logically, love must equaled trust in her mind, and the mother trusts the boyfriend and is in love with him. However, the mother does NOT trust the daughter, then she can not love her daughter. If no love is between them then the daughter is prone to not love the mother back. The statement still stands. If the mother loves and trusts the boyfriend, and not the daughter, chances are the daughter does not love her back.

Too bad you can't break up with your mother.
