Today, at my strictly Catholic grandmother's funeral, I was made to sit in the row behind the rest of the family, because I was born out of wedlock and wasn't a 'real' member. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, my grandmother informed me that I was rude to her at my wedding two months ago, all because she couldn’t sit at the bridal table, even though she "paid for the wedding." FML
Today, I was mistaken for an employee at my grandmother's funeral. There were only twelve of us there, all family. FML
Today, I was uninvited to a family reunion because I’m the result of my mom’s affair while she was married to her husband, who raised me as a dad for 22 years before we found out. According to my aunts, uncles, and cousins who I grew up with, it means I’m not really family anymore. FML
Today, I was at the reading of my grandma's will. Apparently I was removed from it some time ago, and the £2,500 I would have gotten went to my cheating bitch of an ex-fiancée. It seems my grandma adored her, and never forgave me for "driving her away" from the family. FML
Today, my grandmother tried to upstage me at my wedding by wearing an actual wedding dress because she "never had a real wedding". FML
Today, I was at my mom's funeral. My sisters and I were sitting in the front row. The funeral director, whom we had met with twice before, was going around greeting everyone. When she got to us, she asked where our mom was. Seriously? FML
Today, I attended the reading of my grandfather's will. I didn't expect to receive anything, since his side of the family had always ostracized me for being born out of wedlock. I did get something: $3,500, on the binding condition that I use a portion of it to get a vasectomy. FML
Today, I found out that I'm not welcome at my boyfriend's dad funeral, because his ex-wife has invited herself, and it would be too awkward to explain to his extended family, most of whom apparently don't yet know that he's divorced. FML
Today, my mother still refuses to acknowledge my son as her grandson, all because I had a C-section, which she says is unnatural and against God's will. I only had the C-section in the first place for health reasons. FML
Today, my religious parents were hosting a family dinner. Not only did we have to wait over an hour for my grandma to finally show up, but when she did, she had her 30 year old boytoy in tow. Apparently, "Granny has needs too you know, hahaha!" Goodbye peaceful family. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

OP that is horrible! People who claim to be religious and love God are usually the cruelest to others. Bunch of hypocrites.

That's is why the Catholics are famous for stupidity. Would they have had the same issue if you were adopted? I doubt it. I bet if you would have gone and splashed some nasty dirty water on your face, then prayed twelve times to a dead lady they would have offered you a way in. Stupid!

Someone please explain to me why the word whilst has crept into so many FML's lately! The word while is perfectly acceptable and not as annoying. Do you think it makes you sound more intelligent? It really doesn't.

It is because whilst you weren't paying attention it jumped back into the modern language.

24: religion is not dying out. Europe is becoming more 'muslim' every day. You can walk down the street and hear their awful call to prayer songs on the speakers...in Europe! in 30 years, muslims will probably be the majority there. Then it will spread to the US. :( And you can enjoy being stoned, beheaded for a ton of 'sins' against islam.

You have a skewed view of their religion. Try to be more openminded and don't spread your hate arround.

This actually reminds me of a book i read. It was a sort of religious Romeo and Juliet, Romeo being an extreme catholic while Juliet was more open to newer ideas, like homosexualiy. I believe the whole religion is split like that, some going to extremes, and (as I believe) wrong in many ways. Right here is one of the wrongs, but I don't think the grandma is to blame. But thats just me=)

Go out and win the lottery then when they come begging for money you can rub it in their faces.

I wouldn't have sat through her funeral since I wasn't related to her...
