Today, I rang my dad to tell him and my half-sister that I'm finally engaged. I then asked my half-sister to tell my stepmother. Still on speaker, I heard her run upstairs and pass the good news on. My stepmother responded with 'Cery who?', followed by 'So what? I can't stand her'. I'm Cery. FML

Today, a girl confessed that she's loved me for years and wants to marry me and have my children. It was my half-sister and she said it in front of everyone at a family wedding. I don't know who to be most afraid of at this point: her fiancé or my stepdad. FML
Today, I discovered that my father is getting married. Overjoyed and confused because I didn't know he was dating, I called him up to congratulate him, and ask who she was. Apparently, his soon to be fiancée is my mother-in-law. My wife is not happy. FML
Today, I met my mom's fiancé. He's a nice guy, he's also my wife's dad. I'll soon call my wife my sister. FML

What an asshole. Don't invite her to the wedding, if she "can't stand you" that much then I'm sure she will be pleased. I'm sorry, I actually feel legitimately bad for you.

It's people like your stepmother that are the reason I just call her 'My dad's wife'. Sorry to hear that, FYL.

Well...hopefully your real mom was a little more excited. And it sounds like your dad and sister were still excited. So who cares what the bitch stepmom thinks?

#24, thank you! Everyone other than her is pretty damn thrilled, especially me. At least this is one person we won't have to pay to feed at the reception. I'm not entirely sure why she 'can't stand me', since she likes my brother. Telling her about the engagament was part of my recent attempts to patch things up with her... reconciliation fail, I think. perdix, I don't think I'd trust her with any child of mine since she's spent the aforementioned half-sister's whole life bad-mouthing me to her. Fortunately, she seems to have taken it with a pinch of salt so far. And #21, thank you very much. It is, but with a soft 'c' sound.
