Today, my mom told me that she was selling my favorite thing in the world, my trombone. The only thing that I'm good at is the trombone. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, my neighbor's daughter started learning how to play the trombone. FML
Today, I was short on money for bills, so I pulled out my alto saxophone, knowing that no matter how much I loved it, I'd be able pay my rent with the money. As I pulled it out of its case, the neck strap broke and I dropped it, breaking the bell beyond repair. Now I'm poor AND depressed. FML
Today, I came home and was greeted by my dad telling me that he pawned my guitar for gas money. FML
Today, my mother informed me that she sold my dog to pay off some bills. FML
Today, my little brother got a violin. FML
Today, it's the last night before a concert. Today is also the day my brother pawned my clarinet for drug money. FML
Today, my sister just had a huge fight with my mom. After that, she thought it was appropriate to smash my $1,000 guitar to "blow off some steam." FML
Today, my sister was playing a rock star in a play. When she got home, she told me she used one of my old guitars, because I told her it was ok. I said she could take one to practice on, not destroy on stage. 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 mother started nagging me for spending $500 on a guitar, stating that, "We're not in the mood for unnecessary bullcrap." I paid for it with MY money, and she suddenly turned up at MY house because my father kicked her out of their house after finding out that she cheated on him. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

You people are so ignorant. Just because you're good at a musical instrument doesn't mean you have a failed social life. Many of the musicians at my school are actually quite popular. People these days....

If that was the only thing you were good at then that is the least of your problems

All the advice you people are giving her is childish. Hide it or steal it back or attacking the mother. This is what you want our teens acting like ? Just sad .

I would die if my mom did that with my trumpet!! I love playing trumpet I couldn't live without band! I have a solution to your problem though. a) buy the trombone from your mom when she puts it up for sale b) Tell your band director he could definitely help you maybe even set up parent teacher conference with him c) My school will rent out instruments dirt cheap, so see if your band program does the same as your band director will feel sorry for you if they have a school trombone he will probably let use it until you save up enough to by one yourself. d) if your mom doesnt already have it you can keep it at school or hide where she can't find it until she gives up on the whole thing I really feel for you OP and I hope your mom reconsiders

Tell her it's not hers to sell and hide it? How easy is it to hide a trombone?
