Today, I visited my grandparents' house. While getting a drink from the fridge, I noticed the Christmas card my family sent them had my face scratched out. When I confronted them about it, they said it was the cat. They don't have a cat. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, while at the dinner table, my grandmother told me she backed over a cat. FML
Today, I went to visit my grandmother. My grandfather recently died, so I had gotten her a cat for comfort. Turns out in her sadness, she had forgotten about the cat. I found its remains being eaten by ants and birds. FML
Today, my dad and stepmom came back from a very expensive two-month trip across the world. When they got home, they had more gifts for their cat than for me. FML
Today, while visiting my grandparents, I was afraid that one of their many cats would pee on me. I was peed on all right, by my grandma. FML
Today, my front house window was smashed. A note was left, saying, "I want my cat back." I have no idea what they are talking about. FML
Today, I was looking through old childhood pictures for my father's funeral and I found one of our old Christmas cards. I looked at it and noticed in the background our two dogs enjoying very spirited sex. FML
Today, my grandparents thought it would be acceptable to give me and my wife Christmas presents to take to my ex-wife, along with a card saying how much they missed her and to get in touch with them next time she is in town. FML
Today, I walked in on my parents discussing how to kill our cat, and how to make it look like an accident. FML
Today, I sent a christmas card to my husband's uncle and aunt. I'd forgotten that the uncle died last year. FML
Today, I hurried into the bank to cash in the $5,000 check my grandparents had given me for college money. I found out that instead of my name, they wrote 'our sweet iddle pumpkinbutt'. I couldn't make eye contact with anyone after. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

What the heck? What kinda Grandparents do such a thing? That's absolutely horrible. Sorry OP. That is just wrong. Your grandparents shouldn't do that and then lie about it when you can plainly see what they did. Good luck OP.

You'd be surprised. My grandmother (and by extension her entire family) refuses to acknowledge my existence because they hate my mother for "ruining my father's life." It's quite sad how people can place so much hatred on someone with so little reason, but it's also not uncommon. The important thing is to remember that their opinions are a reflection upon them, and not on you. You can't let their petty attitudes influence how you feel about yourself.

That sucks. My family has problems but nothing like that. There is one side of the family that won't talk to my family but they are really mean so it doesn't effect us. Sorry that your family treats you like that.

My grandpa said he would disown me if I moved out of my house when I was 16. He hasn't said anything nice to me since. Since they are not they're children I think it's easier to de-attach from their grandchildren. We're from polar opposite generations.

Yeah, I think the generational gap is a huge factor. Especially when you consider how much social progression (or at least change; not all of it good depending on perspective) there has been in even the past 50 years or so. My grandmother is nearly 100 years old and her whole family is a relic from the closed-minded, white supremacist South. And they act like it. Which is why I do not mind at all that they treat me the way I do. Being hated by someone like that probably means I am doing something right with my own ways of thinking.

Next time you go over, sneak a cat in their house and then start playing with it. Tell them how nice it must be to own a pet, and ask them what they named it.

Put laxatives in their drinks and let the fun begin (hopefully they only have one bathroom).

You should accept their lie and move on. Do you really, really want to know why they scratched out your face?
