Today, my mom got pissed off at my doctor and called him a quack. She did this because he reassured her that I don't show any signs of the mental retardation that she's convinced herself I must have. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, my mother threw a fit because the psychologist she got me suggested I visit a psychiatrist. Apparently, it's my fault because I "choose" to be so "crazy". FML
Today, my mother threatened my psychiatrist with legal action because he told her the organic and herbal "medicine" she swears by don't actually "cure" mental illness like she claims. FML
Today, going to my psychiatrist's appointment for my PTSD and depression, my mother yelled about how useless I am and how I torture her existence with my "abnormalities." She told the doctor how much I've improved and become such a delight at home for her and our family. FML
Today, after years of having seasonal allergies and months of having my throat close up, my mom agreed to see a doctor, only to insult me in front of the doctor, saying I just find new ways to make their lives harder and I'm probably making it all up. FML
Today, I overheard my wife telling my mother-in-law I was diagnosed with a learning disability earlier this week. She replied, "I always knew he was a retard. Why did you ever marry that idiot?" All my wife did was mutter "I don't know." FML
Today, my mom read my diary. Then she frantically booked me an appointment with a psychiatrist. FML
Today, I went to the doctor's office, where my mother happens to work. When my doctor tried to prank her by saying I have chlamydia, my mother laughed and said she didn't believe it, adding, "Have you even seen the way she interacts with boys?" FML
Today, my mother made me see the doctor to see if I had irritable bowel syndrome, on the account of how often I go to the restroom. I then had to admit I only go in there to get away from my family. My doctor thought it was hilarious. My mom didn't. FML
Today, I had to listen to my mother painstakingly spell out to me why broken glass is extremely dangerous. Feeling insulted, I jokingly asked her if she thought I was "retarded". I then got yelled at for "swearing." I'm a fucking adult, but my overprotective and condescending mother seems to think otherwise. FML
Today, as usual, my mom got shitfaced and started berating me for something. This time, it was for missing a therapy appointment. Not only am I unable to drive, it was her appointment. For her alcoholism. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Just because you eat paint chips doesn't mean you're mentally retarded...

Sounds like my mom.. If I were you, I'd save all the money I could, so when I turned 18 I could move out immediately.

Some folks have to always be right, despite proving otherwise.

No one is (don't like to say the word) but I will say stupid. Everyone is human and everybody is different and learns differently.

To associate the term mental retardation with the word "stupid" is more offensive. People can be retarded. Those would be people who have mental retardation, which is an actual diagnosable disease. People who are mentally retarded are not necessarily stupid, just slow, hence the word "retard", which literally means slow. Society has perverted the word retard. The word itself is not harmful, but it should only be used in reference to the disease, not a stupid person.

I'm so sorry, OP. I went through the same thing with my mother. Get out quickly. Love and light!

Is your mother a bit off? Take an IQ test then you can prove you are not retarded...

Maybe your mum needs some attention and instead of looking at herself and dealing with her problem she is wanting to push her anger on to you, and your doctor, and maybe some other innocent members of the public.

Is this due to you not agreeing with her on a matter that is something that has been a firm belief for her all her life, to the point she is unable to admit the possibility it is not 100% true and the only truth in the matter? Faith related or something of the same sort of life defining devotion? Because I can see how that would be how she would try to rationalize your not believing the 'truth' if that's the case.

What?

He's implying OP is an atheist. Don't see why though.

Female, actually, and no, there's a number of things I was thinking about. It could be a disagreement about homosexuality, or abortion, or stem cell research, or the Pope, or any number of opinions that may have a faith based reason to uphold. And I'm not sympathizing with the mother here, I'm trying to figure her logic.

Maybe she wants your sanity out the door first, And THEN she'll confess that she lost hers

At least she didn't call him a duck. God knows what would have happened then..
