Mom of the year
Today, I was feeling suicidal and needed to talk to someone about it, so I called up the only person in the world who cares about me: my mom. Or so I thought. Her immediate response was, “You should go ahead and end it.” FML

Today, my mom told me that if I wanted to commit suicide, I should make it seem like a car accident, and not do it in the house, because she would be too embarrassed if people thought she was a bad parent. FML

Thanks for the support!
Today, I told my mom that I struggle with depression. She then told me that she thinks that I always seem to suck the life out of a room. FML

Get her some help if she's serious

That's one poor excuse of a mother.

I sure hope she doesn't mean that

You can't be blamed for another person's mental health issues. It's something she needs to work on with a qualified therapist. Hand her a pamphlet, let her know you care. And even if she said it in jest, she will know that you take her words very seriously.

What a bitch. Should've called her bluff.

Next time tell her "Not if I get you first."

This isn't something you should post about that's a serious issue and I can't imagine how that's making you feel.

I vividly remember, as a young child, standing next to my mom as she sat at the kitchen table and sobbed, "I shouldn't have had kids!" She had/has severe depression and I don't think she realized I was old enough to (sort of) understand and that it hurt me. Now I understand more, but maybe OP's mom is in a similar situation with depression or another mental health issue, and didn't mean it exactly the way OP thought. Of course it still hurts! Wish we knew more back story though. On a side note, I wish all the people who have idealistic views of motherhood would come read some FMLs.

She needs some help. This has nothing to do with you my friend. Good luck with getting her help.

Considering she said that to you, I'm assuming you don't have a very good relationship. So.... It's something to look forward to, maybe? Sorry OP.

Are you sure she didnt just say that in a joking way and your not overreacting

Does that mean you make really stupid decision?
