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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I discovered that my deceased mother, God rot her festering soul, wrote me and only me out of her will. All my other siblings are wealthy; I’m the only one in financial trouble after my divorce. And why did mom hate me so much? Because I’m divorced and God says divorce is bad. FML
Today, I had to break up a fistfight between my wife and mother. Apparently, my mom heard that I finally got the great paying job of my dreams, and told my wife I'd finally kick her "useless ass to the curb." We have to spend the holidays together. FML
Today, I had a double wedding with my sister. My mother, being as encouraging as she always is, told us that statistics say one of our marriages will end in divorce. She then explained she thinks it'll be mine because I'm "a self-absorbed bitch." FML
Today, I finally got a restraining order against my violent ex. My mom now keeps finding ways to tell me how shitty I am for breaking the "poor boy's" heart and how I didn't deserve him anyway. FML
Today, my daughter came over, furiously ranting that her husband had asked for a divorce. During the conversation, I asked what she did to make him happy. She glared at me and yelled, "It's not my job to make my husband happy!" I'm on her husband's side after that. FML
Today, I was called a "whore," a "demon," a "piece of shit," and a "disrespectful bitch." All of this happened because I wouldn't let my mother-in-law borrow my car. This is a woman with multiple speeding tickets. FML
Today, I informed my family of my plans to divorce my wife after catching her cheating on me twice. They bitched me out because I will not be able to survive financially or emotionally without her support. I'm a doctor. She's been unemployed for 2 straight years. FML
Today, my mom bitched me out and threatened to send me to a Bible camp, after catching me admiring a photo of a bikini model, which is apparently "immoral behavior." This is the same woman who cheated on my dad twice, justifying it by claiming the Devil tempted her. FML
Today, I found out that my husband, who I've just separated from, and my mother, who I don't speak to because she's crazy, have been bitching about me behind my back. FML
Today, my mother screamed at my boyfriend, calling him an "evil piece of self-centred trash". He's a sweet guy who does volunteer work for kids with learning difficulties. She's a bitter, passive-aggressive telemarketer who constantly harasses her own family with sales calls. FML

Good for you for divorcing an abusive asshole. Sorry OP. ( I'd suggest maybe considering therapy too, since it sounds like you possibly grew up in a hoard with a messed up mom?)

Your mother is a hypoticritical bitch who needs to be slapped in the face, then say "God said that's for your past two marriages". You're right on getting a divorce from an abusive man. She just she needs o get a big bowl of Shutthefuckup

With a mother like that, it's better to cut contact with her. No mother in her right mind would try to force their child to stay in an abusive relationship, specially when they themselves have left other relationships for frivolous reasons.

Ignore her, well done OP on getting out of an abusive relationship. Some people never leave them

If you happened to be old enough to get married then you happened to be old enough to live your life for yourself not your mom's approval. Do what you need to be safe and happy not what you think will make mom happy

Wait...you can disown parents? OH MY GOD TIME TO DISOWN MY FATHER! Can I also disown siblings and pets and body parts?

Oh God, if only... Although then you'd see all these kids disowning their parents every time they refuse to buy them things, ya know like a $500 pack of senior pictures..

Or a refusal to buy them an Ipad

Good on getting away from your ex husband. No one deserves that. As for your mom, I'd distance yourself, she sounds like a real screw up and probably isn't worth your time

How does someone deserve this??

Wow what a hypocrite. Using your mom's logic your mom would probably be going to hell.
