Today, my grandma was arrested for throwing her cane at a man who she thought was mocking her walk. That man was my boyfriend's father, who limps because of his cerebral palsy. He refuses to drop the assault charges. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my boyfriend of 2 years decided to tell an unimaginably rude joke to my grandma while at my house. She hit him over the head with a vase, and he's threatening to press charges. I still don't know whose side to take. FML
Today, I went to see my grandmother. She has Alzheimer's and doesn't remember me sometimes, and today she thought I was her sister and that I was trying to steal my grandfather from her. She hit me with a cane and called me a slut. FML
Today, I got a phone call letting me know my grandmother was arrested for trying to light my grandpa on fire. She's now in jail, asking for bail money. FML
Today, my grandma got a new boyfriend. She dumped the old one because "His wife was taking too long to die." FML
Today, no one warned me that my grandfather was slipping into dementia. I proudly brought my new baby to meet him, only for him to burst into hysterical tears that I was a teenage whore, who’s now brought shame to the family. I'm 30 and married, but he still tried to hit me with his cane. FML
Today, I spent several hours downtown with my violent grandma, after she was arrested for threatening a guy with a gun. His crime? "Trespassing" by ringing the doorbell and asking if she was interested in donating to charity. FML
Today, I learned that if you make fun of a man for walking with a cane, you'd better be ready for him to hit you with it. FML
Today, my grandmother tried to start a fist-fight with my wife during my wedding ceremony. FML
Today, my boyfriend of three years and I went to visit my 85 year-old grandmother at the hospital. While I went to the restroom, she apparently told him about a guy I was seeing on the side. I have no idea who she's talking about and my boyfriend refuses to talk to me. FML
Today, my grandma moved in with us. Along with her 36-year-old boyfriend that none of us knew about. FML

He isn't wrong. Your grandmother is old enough to know better than to throw a cane at a disabled man.

good. **** your grandma. she's a bitch and deserves it. when you commit crimes, you get punished. zero sympathy. but it's not like a judge will ever sentence a hewpwess widdle owd lady, so don't worry about it.

As someone with a LOT of experience with folks with different disabilities, people like your grandma are the WORST. Living with a disability is bad enough, but having some bitch assume that she is the only one in the world with issues makes things intolerable. What she did was the equivalent of using her mobility scooter to knock down someone recovering from surgery because they took "her" handicap parking place.

Then perhaps she shouldn't have assaulted him in the first place.

This would have been an FML for awkwardness without the last sentence. The fact that someone actually asked the guy to drop charges after he was assaulted for being disabled - that's disgusting. Also, I can't help picturing a rabid old crone throwing her stick at someone and then having to shuffle over to that person to pick it up again.

Idk why you think he would. She attacked him. Adults use their words.

As someone with cerebral palsy, I sympathize with your bf's dad. The limp can be unfortunately noticeable.

Sorry, but I can't blame him for not dropping the assault charges. Your grandmother way overreacted.
