Today, just like every day for the past two weeks, my mother has told me just how much she doesn't want me to move out. I, once again, have had to remind her that she isn't the one I'm trying to get away from. I'm not a fan of being repeatedly smacked with a coffee mug by my 78-year-old grandma. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, after being repeatedly talked into meeting my mother and grandmother for lunch, when they were done they tried to convince me to let my grandmother move into my house, for the second time in a year. FML
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
Today, my mother told me she thinks it is time for me to move into my own place. I agreed with her and went to look at studios/flats online. She later came into my room, saw me looking at places and then got pissed off at me, saying that I hate her for wanting to leave her. FML
Today, like every other day, my mother, who I live with due to circumstances outside my control, harasses me every twenty minutes and generally treats me like her personal slave. When I dared complain, she had the audacity to tell me I’m lucky to “live a life of service.” Yeah, fuck you too. FML
Today, I had to repeatedly explain to my nosy, interfering, clingy, no-concept-of-personal-space mom that I'm not okay with her moving into my new house, or the same neighborhood, or even the same goddamn state as me when I get married next week. FML
Today, my mom yelled at me because I didn't hear to her calls while I was listening to music. She told me she wouldn't trust me again, that I'm worthless. When I began crying, she told me that I was psychologically manipulate her. It's been like this all the time lately. I can't wait to move out. FML
Today, my mom wanted to kick me out of the house, but she has a brain tumor and can’t be left alone. I want to leave this place, but I can’t leave her. I’m ready to quit. FML
Today, I had a fight with my grandma again with whom I've been living for four years due to college hostel being below par. She blamed me for destroying her kitchen equipment by extensively cooking, especially at night. I've never placed a foot inside her kitchen since the beginning. FML
Today, my mother sat me down and told me, "I'm not going to lie, I hate living with you. Please get a job and move out." I'm 16. FML
Today, two more years until I can move out. My mom takes up so much space in the house, even in my room, I don't even have enough space for my own clothes, and I'm not allowed to get rid of ones that don't fit. How am I supposed to survive another two years here when I have a breakdown about her suffocating me once a week? FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I always thought I was the only one who had issues with her grandmother! I'm sorry you have to go through that OP. Trust me, my grandmother had a tendency to say somewhat verbally abusive things towards me when she was around. It really ruined our relationship but nearing the end we made our peace. My best advice is to definitely move out as soon as possible if talking to her hasn't worked.

she probably doesn't want to be left at home alone in a vulnerable situation and probably needs the help with your grandma. perhaps investigate outside carers to come in and hello or provide respite?

You'll be a mug if you didn't get away!

I really hope it's not one of those novelty giant sized coffee cups...

Wow, you had a problem with her grandma too! This must be one badass old lady.

You've been mugged!

Easy solution to all of your problems. Out granny in a retirement home, it'll be cheaper than moving out and believe it or not she'll probably be happier too.

Your grandmother didn't want to be a statistic and instead tried to do the mugging herself. Unfortunately, that's not how this works. That's not how any of this works.

That was going good until the last sentence.

I kinda want a follow up on this. Is there any reason she keeps smacking you with coffee mugs? Are you the only person she smacks with coffee mugs? Is she hitting really hard or just kind of bumping you?
