Health, Covid and Family: Sticking together

Sticking together

By Anonymous - 14/05/2021 02:01

Today, I was disowned in my family because of the pandemic, after I refused to quit my job and live at my parents house, with them supporting my family, so now no one in my family has acknowledged my existence since August 2020. FML

Unreasonable

Today, I was terminated from my job because my boss “felt like it.” My parents have made it clear to me that if I am ever fired from a job, for any reason, they will kick me out on the street and never speak to me again. FML

Bootstraps

Today, my dad paid for plane tickets for my brother’s girlfriend and her two kids so they could go to the family reunion on the other side of the country. He refused to buy my ticket though, because I "should’ve planned better." I lost my job due to Covid and used my savings to pay rent and bills. FML

Now hireable

Today, I rage-quit my job because my manager put me in a situation between putting my kids or my career first. I obviously chose my kids, but I’m now an unemployed single mom of two in the middle of a pandemic, with no one hiring. FML

Today, I told my parents I no longer believe in the religion they strictly raised me under. They responded by kicking me out of the house. I'm broke, jobless, and the only person that will take me in is my psycho ex-girlfriend who never got over me. FML

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 discovered that more than half my family has disowned me on both my mother's and father's sides, and whilst I was having my mental breakdown about this, I tried to call my boyfriend to tell him what had happened, He fell asleep and didn't call me back for 5 hours. FML

She'll calm down

By Anonymous - 02/07/2024 23:00 - United Kingdom

Today, I finally stood up to my mom and told her that as an introvert I desperately need some time alone to just recover. She, being the bitch queen of the extroverts, translated this in her head to, “I hate this family”, so she screamed at me, called me ungrateful, and made me homeless. FML

Love is blind

Today, my mom disowned me and forced me to move out because I didn’t have a crying heartbroken meltdown at the death of my stepfather. She knows I hated the man's guts since the first time he slapped her, so my not caring about his death shouldn't have surprised her. FML

OP, I've said and stressed this numerous times, both in real life and in the FML comment section...YOU CHOOSE YOUR FAMILY. Genes, blood relations, and in-laws do not decide who your family is. The spirit, sincerity and bonding with people, whether you're related or not, is the family deciding factor. Love yourself, go out, and find the family you want. Good luck and stay safe.

They disowned you because you want to take care of yourself?

That doesn't sound right to me. How sure are you that you're not a ghost who doesn't know it yet?

I'm just wondering how you were supposed to be able to support them if you quit your job. That makes no sense.

Probably by being their maid. Cooking, cleaning, laundry.

Sounds like they used the pandemic as an opportunity to strip you of your independence and and turn you into their live-in servant, and this is your punishment for not giving in to their manipulation. You did good, they aren't worth it, and like the other poster said: YOU CHOOSE your family. They ain't it. When you find your people you will be treated with kindness, respect, and appreciation - not this crap your bio-folks are pulling.
