Today, my mother found out I published a book. She demanded that I pay her all my royalties as repayment for her raising me. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I found out my mom has notebooks with lists of everything she has bought for me ever since I was born. Apparently she is going to make me pay her back for all the money she spent on me once I'm an adult. FML
Today, I told my mom I wasn't doing very good mentally and I was looking for some support. She decided to remind me of all of the things I still haven't paid her back for. I'm now an unpaid loan, not her daughter. FML
Today, after months of helping my mother with bills because she claimed she had no money, I found out she makes way more than what I do. She just wanted my money for alcohol and drugs. FML
Today, my mom yelled at me because I refused to lend her money. The reason I won't lend her money? The last time I did, she and my dad went out and bought a Macbook and a new car instead of paying bills. Apparently, I'm being 'selfish' by keeping my own money and putting it towards university. FML
Today, I discovered that my mother has been stealing from me to cover her mountain of debt. I’m barely making ends meet as it is. When I confronted her, she had the gall to suggest I get a second job to support her. FML
Today, my mom cleaned out my bank account, saying my "no-good dad" owes her child support and that she'll get it one way or another. FML
Today, I finally confronted my mom for robbing me of my inheritance from my dad. Apparently she was justified in taking it because she "needed it to raise me" and "to keep a roof over our heads" as I was growing up. As a result, I'm an adult with no nest egg whatsoever. FML
Today, I found out that the $200 I reluctantly gave to my mother so she could rent a house was paid to a scammer. Now she wants to live with me, in my one bedroom apartment. FML
Today, I found out my mom took around $2,500 from my savings account to pay off my sister's college tuition. She recently flunked out of her studies and won't be returning to college anyway. FML
Today, my mom's will was read to the rest of the family. I helped my mom write it a couple years ago, and I was to get funds to pay off school loans. She revised it and put in a note saying I was to get nothing because I was "lazy." The executor read it out loud. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Respond with; The memories you have of my childhood with you are priceless, so I've more than paid enough.

I hate when parents try to use "I raised you now you owe me." Like no one told you to have a child and if you didn't want a child there are many ways to prevent childbirth.

She chose to have you. You dont owe her any money. Life doesn't work like that.

Perhaps she was kidding and you took it seriously so she carried out on.

Give her a quarter

A quarter is too much. At most, give her a penny. It would still be very generous of OP

NO. Half a cent. ;)

What's the book called? I'd read it just because I can

Making your daughter give you the money she deserves.. That makes so much sense. She sounds like an interesting mom. Did you write the book about her?

@51 It's called, 'Shit My Mother Says, Part 1.'

No it was her choice to have children, you can't have children and then expect payment for raising them.
