Today, my grandmother told me that since my dad was a mistake, I too am a mistake. FML

Wild Nights Out
Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Same thing different taste
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
Today, my grandfather told me that I was ugly. When my mom found out, she said that, "Old people are allowed to tell the truth." 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 grandmother said to me, "You look just like your mother did at your age. Except you're fatter of course." 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

She is absolutely right. It's called law of transitivity; if A equals B and B equals C, then A equals C. It's mathematically proven that all three of you are mistakes. Q.E.D.

Wow, that's crazy! And mean. I'm sorry.

Is your grandma losing it? If not I'm sorry but she's a bitch. I wouldn't listen to anything else she had to say or go visit for awhile. I've been told that while my mom was pregnant with me my grandma, a nurse at the time, brought home abortion medicine for her to take but my mother refused. My grandmother and I became very close from my youth on. Maybe you can turn her mind around. Good luck and remember there are no mistakes in this world. You were planned and planned on being here before you were born. You are right were you are supposed to be.

If this is true, then every single person on Earth is a "mistake." Therefore it doesn't matter.

Mistakes are okay!

Just tell her when you and Dad put her in a home and don't come to visit it won't be a "Mistake".

I wouldn't worry too much about it. By the time many people reach a certain age, they could be suffering from Alhzheimer's, Dementia or some other debilitating illness. Or in other cases, they could simply not care what anyone thinks and say whatever the hell is on their mind regardless of the consequences.
