Today, I got together a surprise party for my mom's birthday. I invited all her friends and her douchebag boyfriend who I don't get along with. When my mom got home, he took credit and got her friends to back him up with bribing. My mom said I'm selfish and horrible for not trying for her. 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 got yelled at by my mom for not being surprised enough at my surprise birthday party. She'd told me about it while drunk the night before. FML

Today, it's my mom's birthday. I woke up at midnight to be the first to tell her happy birthday. When I awoke in the morning, I decided to bake her a cake. Little did I know my whole family was going out to lunch to celebrate. I wasn't invited. FML

Today, my partner's mother and I had been planning a little surprise get-together for his birthday. A surprise weeks in the making was ruined by my dad asking, "Aren't you supposed to be going to (his parent's town name) this afternoon?" in front of him. Thanks dad. FML

Today, one of my boyfriend's friends ranted on about how I am such a crappy girlfriend and how all of his friends don't like me. I just spent over $200 on a surprise party that I invited them all to last weekend. FML

Stay out of my life

Today, my mom tried to worm her way back into my life by manipulating my brother into doing the dirty work for her. I pretended to swallow the bullshit and invited her over, just so I could slam the door in her face. My brother says I went too far, like he somehow forgot what a shit mom she was. FML

Today, I was talking to my mom about how my fiancé has been ignoring me and that I didn't know why. Turns out, my mother told him that I was too much of a handful, was mentally disturbed and also cheating on him. Just so I wouldn't move out and would keep cleaning her house for free. FML

Today, it was my best friend's birthday party. Her boyfriend and I agreed to organize a dinner date to surprise her and celebrate. They celebrated, but forgot me until they arrived at the restaurant and saw the dinner reservation under my name. FML

Today, it's my birthday and my mom took me and some friends to an amusement park. Looking for a tampon, I found a phone in my mom's purse that I didn't recognize. Turns out my mom is cheating on my dad. Happy birthday to me, I guess. FML

That's a lovely gesture for your mother OP! The truth will come out eventually... It's just incredibly selfish of him to take the credit.

I can't believe your mom would believe someone else over you anytime. FYL for real man. Sorry you don't deserve that shit.

Don't invite her boyfriend anymore

I hope you told her the truth and got other people to back you up. For example the nice lady you bought the cake from or the salesclerk where you bought the decorations from. Or even get your moms friends to tell the truth. They should have no problem betraying a douche bag if they can betray a kind person.

Could you try contacting the people who made the cake or what not or use your bank account to prove it? Sorry op that's complete bullshit

And you know if you didn't invite him she'd make a fuss that you don't support their relationship. Tell your Mum what happened and then walk away why waste energy on negative people

Anything you bought for the party, give him a bill and make him pay for it. If he's gonna take all the credit for it, then he needs to incur the expense, and not just with him bribing everybody. Also, maybe stop talking to your mom for a while. If she's trusting her boyfriend over her kid, then she obviously doesn't have much respect for you and cares more about her boyfriend. Cutting her out of your life might do some good. About a year or two ago, I had some problems with my dad so I cut him out of my life - I didn't talk to him, didn't answer his phone calls, didn't call him, didn't see him when he came to visit my sister - and you know what? It worked. He realized I was super mad at him and that we have a problem so, when I *did* let him back in my life (which I only did cause my mother's father passed away and she wanted to me make things right with my dad), he agreed to sit down and listen to what caused our problems and agreed to work on it. Our relationship still isn't perfect but it's better and we're trying. Side note: In case anyone is wondering, I was able to cut him out so throughly and not have to see him at home because my parents are divorced.
