Today, I visited my family. Over the course of 2 hours, my brother punched me, and my mom slapped me across the face after drinking way too much wine. When I started gathering my things to leave, my mom started crying about how I don't visit enough. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my mom got blackout drunk and tried to fight me, my stepdad, and my brother, resulting in my stepdad leaving, my brother getting two holes from a metal shelf my mom tried to joust him with, and I got bit. FML
Today, I was at the mall with my little brother. I saw him touching some expensive objects, so I slapped his arm. I noticed he wasn't my brother when he started crying and his real mom slapped me in the face. FML
Today, my mother and I got into an argument, and she told me to go to my room. I refused, prompting her to slap the shit out of me. I'm 29, and she was visiting me at my own house. FML
Today, my mom got drunk and punched me in the nose, then yelled at me for bleeding on the carpet. FML
Today, after spending over $1000 on plane tickets, I'm visiting my family for the first time in five years. Two hours after I arrived, everyone is screaming at each other and taking their rage out on me. They still ask why I never visit. FML
Today, my brother and I ruined our mother's birthday by fighting. She's 76, we're 55 and 54 and yet still unable to comport ourselves like adults. She yelled at us and then "showed me" by eating the dish he made but not mine. I reverted to teenage coping tactics, dissociating like a boss, and hiding in my room. Worst family visit ever. FML
Today, I visited my in-laws, whom I thought I was on great terms with. I soon learned that wasn't the case when my mother-in-law yelled at me about how I've been abusing her for years. Ten minutes later, she hugged me and asked me for grandkids. FML
Today, I went back home. My drunk mother was screaming at my drunk step-dad about a fight that happened four years ago. My little sister was looking in the mirror practicing her "orgasm face", while the neighbors were dancing outside, coked out and naked. FML
Today, I went over to confront my parents about how my siblings always get to visit and all I do when I’m over is work on their house or take care of grandma. My mom was very upset. Then she snuck out with my sister, leaving me to take care of grandma until she got back. FML
Today, what should have been a nice family dinner ended with my wife standing over me, staring me dead in the eyes, while endlessly repeating, “Get him out of my house, get him out of my house…” until I agreed to take my drunk brother to a hotel to sleep it off. FML

I would have left after the first punch, nobody deserve to be treated like that and alcohol is not an excuse.

Sounds like a typical family gathering then. I mean, at least for me. Gotta stop the mario party+Monopoly marathons.

People don't know what they have until they lose it. Abuse it, and lose it. Simple

maybe your family should think about shock therapy..... just saying
Kallian_fml 21
Next time OP visits she should tell her family she's pregnant. They'll be too shocked to hit her. Shock therapy = success.

You should back into the gas meter really hard, flick your cigarette out the window, and drive off flipping the bird out the window !!!

Insanity wolf?! What are you doing here?!

I'd say **** that I'm outta here. If my brother punched me and my mom slapped me, I'd leave immediately. You don't need an explanation

This. In fact, if a family member of mine punched me, I'd probably call the police. I've always made it very clear to my family that although I love them, if any of them were to raise a hand to me, I'll happily call the authorities. Some people might see that as an overreaction, but assault shouldn't be a normal thing amongst families.

Wait that's not how you play Family Feud?

You ought to learn some self-defense skills and put up a fight. I hear there's a pimp out there giving slap lessons. Try to learn the bitch-slap, too. For your brother: knee to the nuts. You'll thank me later.

I would've left way earlier because... AIN'T NOBODY GOT TIME FO DAT!

That's horrible! You need to press charges on your brother.
Love_sosa 10
or man up and fight back

I think that might be taking it a little far...by a little I mean a lot.
Ashley_Radke 13
How is that taking it too far? Her brother clearly has no self-control if he's going to punch his SISTER. She has every right to press charges.
Michael_92 20
Because we do not know more information. There is also the fact that if you press charges then you cannot undo that. You are forever damaging your relationship with your family. You can't just undo that and make good on it. That's why.
Ameel_fml 19
Why should the OP care about ruining her relationship with her family? Her brother thinks it's ok to punch his own sister. I'd say he's the one who should be a little more considerate of his family and ruining his closest relationships. This is, of course, assuming the punch was worth calling the police over. I'm sure the OP can tell the difference between a jokey punch and one that was intended to harm. But still, I think it's pretty sad that there are people out there who won't press charges on those who abuse them because they're too scared to ruin the relationship or upset family members.

54- Two people used physical force against another person: OP. What more information do you need?? Doing something like that - let alone unprovoked - is nothing short of domestic abuse, battery, and/or assault, regardless of who you're related to. You can't choose family, but you can choose how you associate with them, if you choose to do so at all. OP obviously doesn't for just this reason.

What the heck?? Wow. A man should never hit a woman regardless if he's your brother or not. As far as your mother, it's none of her concern if you drink or not.
Obey_StudBoii 23
#36 Oh and that makes you feel like such a special person huh? Stop being a grammar Nazi and get a life.
