My dad said that to me multiple times. I know how you feel OP.

When my mum was young, her mother always said "I may have to love you, but I don't have to like you." She was, and still is, quite a cold woman.

Even if I can understand that some "parents" feel that way, why would someone say something so hurtful to their child? That's what I would ask my mum: What's the point ?

i have never related more to an FML

I feel the same about my mother. but it's family so you're stuck with each other

You have to wonder why she would say this. Either she's a huge bitch or you are. We don't have enough information to judge either way.

Ouch. That's a low blow.

Well at least you know you aren't adopted...

Honesty is the best policy but not in this case. What kind of mother says that sort of thing to their own child?

So why are you two in each other's lives? Just cause you're fully doesn't mean you have to be around each ither
