Today, I visited my grandmother who has dementia. She thought I was my father, and told me that I should never have married my mother, let alone have had children with her. FML

Thanks, I hate it
Today, my grandma told me that I'm starting to look like my sister. I jokingly replied, "Uh-oh I'm in trouble then." She gave me a very disapproving look and said, "You should be happy. She's beautiful, unlike you." FML

Supportive
Today, once again, my mom ranted about how she sacrificed so much for me by moving to a better city. I said it was for my education and to stop making me feel like a burden. She scoffed, "Right, you never should've been born. My mistake." FML

Today, my mom came home heavily drunk. As I was taking care of her, she told me all about how I was a mistake. That didn't hurt nearly as much as when she told me she wishes I'd died during her pregnancy. FML

Booze-fuelled family drama
Today, I found out that the man I called grandpa for 40 years is really my dad. My drunk aunt spilled the beans. Her exact words were, "My dad is a better dad to you than he EVER was to me! You never wondered why he treated you better than his other grandchildren? You're his son!" FML

Today, I was given the following pearls of wisdom: "My grandmother always told me, if you've got nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all. Anyway, she was a cunt and so are you." Thanks, dad. Thanks. FML

The first step is being able to admit it
Today, my grandmother hates me. So much so that I've become a rotten, desperate, and overall evil person with no thoughts and considerations towards other people. My family doesn't know this, but I can never undo the damage she has done to me since birth (as she raised me). I only care about my own well-being, nothing else. FML

Great parenting
Today, both my mom and dad agreed I basically ruined their life by existing. They weren’t even trying to be mean, they just casually mentioned that their lives were brilliant before me, then after I was born everything turned to shit and they’ve been miserable ever since. FML

I guess grandma harbors a lot of resentment about having your dad. Sorry OP! And hopefully she doesn't really feel that way and it was a bad joke.

I wonder. It never said that it was the father's mother. Maybe she's just a cranky in-law. As this is FML, we've all had our fair share of those.

You know what, you can respect the struggles and the type of life a person has had but you don't have to like them. If she doesn't like her son or you because of regret then sorry but even family at that point do not need to be considered anymore. I'm sire your dad is a cool ass human being and you are too, living life as a better person and not having the same regrets as your grandmother will just make you better. Nuff said I think.

Was that pun intended?

Typo I'm afraid but I'll claim it anyway, practice for when I become the boss of someone else I guess.

Respectfully disagree and tell your grandmother that you just felt like being born and that your decision was not a mistake. Booya!

There are no "accidents", just kids.

Just because your dad was a 'mistake' doesn't mean your birth couldn't then be planned out by your parents.

It looks like she needs to be a mistake too

To be fair, and no offense meant to religions, mankind as a whole is the results of "accidents". If your parents love you, the date of your conception might be accidental, but you are certainly not . Let's hope your gran's nasty remark is just accidental. If not, tell her how hurtful it is. Age is no valid excuse for meaness.
