Today, my mom went to court to finalize her divorce. I would have felt sorry for her, had this not been her 7th husband. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my mom informed me she got married two weeks ago. Hard to congratulate her when this is her eighth husband. FML
Today, I found my mother in tears, so I asked her what was wrong. She told me, "It's your father, he wants a divorce..." I asked if he'd met another woman, and my mom replied "No, not a woman..." FML
Today, my marriage counselor got divorced. FML
Today, my mom and my step dad decided they're getting a divorce. They've been married for 2 weeks and I paid for a quarter of the wedding. FML
Today, I won my custody battle. I wish I could be happy about it, but it strained my current marriage so badly that now I'm going through my second divorce. FML
Today, my mom told me that she never wants to see me again because my family and I did not attend her wedding, which she wanted my youngest to be a flower girl to. I refused because this is her eighth marriage (that's right, 8) and she never learns. FML
Today, my mother bitched me out for filing divorce papers against my abusive husband. According to her, it's a "slap in God's face". She's the one who's divorced two husbands so far because they weren't getting job promotions fast enough to support her hoarding habit. FML
Today, I found out my mom was getting remarried, to my dad. He's been in prison for five years because he pushed her out a window. FML
Today, I met my wife's other husband. FML
Today, I found out my marriage counselor is currently going through her second divorce. FML

What a shock! People who get married 6 times usually stay married the 7th!!

Just don't let her help plan your wedding.

You're quite the bitch, aren't you? I'm sure your mom thought that each one was "the one" only to have her heart broken 7 times. I guess she thought you'd have a good enough heart to give her some sympathy, but she seems accustomed to disappointment. I'll bet you're not a Cubs fan ;) Stand by your mom!

Whaaaat? Why should OP support her mother in her 7th failed marriage? I imagine OP knows WAY more about every situation than you do, and who is at fault for what. If my mother were on her 7th divorce I wouldn't offer support to her. I'd tell her to try living as a single woman for a while until she can figure out what she wants.

#60, y'know, Tough Love is a kind of support. Helping your mom recognize her mistakes and hopefully avoiding future ones would be useful. It just seems cold-hearted to simply turn your back on the woman who produced you.

Not only produced you but held you in her womb for 3/4 of year. When my mom got dumped by my abusive stepfathers (5) I was still their for her even though they never laid a finger on her. I agree your mom should be the person you support because god knows she supported you.

I'm sorry, but if you get married and divorced SEVEN times, that's your fault, and no one is obliged to feel bad for you, not even your children on whom you've likely imposed a lot of grief with your myriad and short lived marriages. It seems like this mom doesn't care what it does to her children to lose their father in a divorce, and then 6 more stepfathers the same way.

Very well said! I've tried to be supportive in her happiness but not at the expense of my life. Unfortunately, the men she chooses tend to be abusive, so you can imagine what I've been dragged through.

While I can see your point, I'm still not sure how this is a FYL scenario.

Divorce is a rough thing; it can be chaotic and just stressful overall, even for just the people who are being dragged along through the mess. 7 times? Sheesh.

Wow. Maybe she needs a companion, no ring needed.
