Today, my little sister decided to color-in my favorite black-and-white comic book. It was worth over $200. When I told my mother, she said, "Oh that old thing? I thought it was a stupid coloring book you were too stupid to color." FML

Today, I got home from work to find my wife asleep in her easy chair with my two year old son asleep in a pile of torn-up paper. I soon found out it was my 1960s collection of a Superman comic book series that I inherited from my dad. It was worth well over $2,000. FML

Today, I was at work when my mother called. She gave me great news that she had finally cleaned out my room and all those "old and useless" books that I had in there. Those "useless" books that she had just trashed were all antiques and worth about $500 each. There were 27 books in there. FML

Today, my nine-year-old niece found my coloring book that features swear words. I took it away and hid it in a different spot. No less than an hour later, her younger sister found it. FML

Today, my sister trashed all our family's antique books, saying, "I don't want a thousand old books written by dead white men." They were family heirlooms from the 19th century, and the whole collection was worth thousands. FML

Today, I took my mom out to a fancy restaurant, and spent close to $300 on her Mother's Day present. Later, my little brother drew her a card with crayons on pink construction paper. She cried. He's 20 years-old. FML

Today, I found a notebook my 12-year-old sister had been doodling in. Turns out the "doodles" were poems full of obscenities and descriptions of how she wanted to hurt herself. When I showed it to my mom, she accused me of writing the notebook myself to frame my sister. FML

Today, I came home to find that my mother had sold all my valuable collector coins for cheap at a local shady pawn shop to buy herself a TV. The coins in question were worth enough to start a business. FML

Today, my mom went snooping through my art bin to "clean out my old drawings". She found numerous nude pieces and accused me of selling porn. My mom mistook and threw out 57 anatomy practice sketches that I worked very very hard on, and ripped up the remainder of my drawings. FML

You have no right to say what is worth OP's time and what isn't. It's HER time, not yours. So get your rude, ignorant ass off this FML.

Am I the only person who grew up with parents who RESPECTED my stuff?!! Good grief my folks never would have let my siblings do this stuff. Mom needs to cough up $250.00 the extra for pain and suffering!

I keep all of my collectibles and antiques hidden away from everyone in my household. I guess now OP will too.

The original TMNT comics from the 80's were mostly in black and white. First print of the first issue in near-mint condition is worth $15k

Was it in a case or folder or something? Plastic wrapped? Anything to let people know it was something of value? I guess it doesn't matter, your stuff is your stuff. It was kept in your room or somewhere private, wasn't it? Not on a kitchen table? Because if it was, then that's not how you treat a collectors item.

I feel you OP, my mom trashed or gave away a lot of things that were valuable to me just because they didn't look valuable to her. Some parents just see everything on their house as theirs.
