Today, I realized that no matter what I accomplish in life, I'll always be remembered for being the son of a woman so stupid that she claimed she used to be Elvis Presley's mistress. She was still an infant when he died. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I found out I was named after the woman my dad was having an affair on my mom with. FML
Today, I found out I was named after the woman my dad used to stalk when he was in high school. FML
Today, I found out my boyfriend's mom still refers to his ex as 'the daughter she never had.' FML
Today, my grandmother told me that since my dad was a mistake, I too am a mistake. FML
Today, 98 year-old mom with dementia thought she was talking to one of my dead sisters and not my wife, telling her she'd better never tell me who my real father really, that I ruined her marriage. She won't have me ruining her reputation, so her getting pregnant with me from an affair was my fault apparently. None of my siblings ever told me. FML
Today, I accidentally called my boss "Mom." Now she is jokingly telling everyone that I'm the long-lost daughter she gave up for adoption, because she knew I'd be a failure. FML
Today, at the reading of my mother's last will and testament, I found out that despite having cared for her for the final years of her life, she denied me an inheritance. She basically said I'm an embarrassment, because when she wrote it, I was 31 years-old, with no wife or children. FML
Today, my parents finally got married. At the after-party, my mother got drunk and informed me that even though she and my father were now married, it doesn't change the fact that I'm still a bastard. FML
Today, my mom got drunk and started crying, ranting about all the things she could have done in life if I hadn't been born. FML
Today, I realized that even though I was an honor student throughout school, and considered the golden child who was going to go far in life, all I've accomplished a year after graduation is becoming an unemployed single mother still living with my parents. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

You have an extra push to graduate, get a job and move out on your own ASAP, nobody has to know who your mom is and what she has done. On other hand, as long as she was a good mom to you, you should jot be embarrassed of her.

I know that you're trying to help, but I don't think you know the OP. So you don't really know if he will do good or not.

Move away, meet new people, and create new memories. Or embrace who your mothers 'quirks'

She's not lying. Only a few people know that Elvis Presley was a pedophile. It's a shame that no one believes your mom. It's a shame that even you don't believe your mom.

I'm not sure if you know this, but infants can't get pregnant. They need to start menstruating before they can carry a child.

What does carrying a child have to do with this? Am I missing something? OP's mom isn't claiming that OP is Elvis' son just a mistress.

you're right in that Elvis got handsy with a few of his younger fans, but he couldn't have impregnated an infant. idiot.

Once again, the post says that op's mom claims to have been Elvis's mistress, not that OP is Elvis's son. Idiot.

I guess no ever loved her tenderly so she has to make up stories for attention.

I don't know how anyone thinks you deserve this. You can't choose your family

Your mom has delusions of grandeur. It's not stupidity, it's a possible mental illness.

Crazy! That's similar to Anna Nicole Smith's claim to be Marilyn Monroe's love child even though she was born 5 years after her death. Sorry OP, I live in my parents' shadow too.

Maybe she knocked knees with an Elvis impersonator. Thank you very much.
