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?

You have a skewed view of their religion. Try to be more openminded and not spread your posionous hate arround.

it's not a traditional thing at all. the family just don't think he belongs since he's a wedlock baby. it's just the family being so strict. not part of traditional catholic religion.

Yeh, welcome to the traditions of religion!

The family wasn't even following their religion... Christ taught forgiveness and these people were clearly not willing to follow that. If they had been truly honoring the traditions of religion they would've loved op regardless of the mistakes of the parents. People only bash christianity and religion because they see people like the family that rejected op and label them the religious types!

First paragraph: True. Second paragraph: Not necessarily. There are many reasons people "bash" or reject religion. Blanket statements such as yours aren't necessary.

The bible does say it is wrong for a man to lay with a man as one does with a woman. Read Leviticus 18:22 and 20:13. However, God is loving and forgiving. If you are gay and you ask for forgiveness and don't keep living in sin, God will forgive you.

You're right, it does say that in the bible. But I'm sure there's a verse, if I remember correctly, about it being okay to lay with another man, which means the bible contradicts itself.

I call BS on this. I'm Catholic, have been around Catholics my whole life, so I have the authority to say that Catholics are NOT like this. I think OP is an atheist and trying to smear Catholicism.

that has nothing to do with being Catholic, her grandma must of came up with that by herself
