Today, I came home crying and informed my mother that someone had called me a 'fat bitch' today. She held me at arms length, looked me straight in the eyes, and lovingly said, "You can't change who you are." FML

Today, my mother screamed at me for the millionth time for “giving her a dirty look” as if I could see my own face. I’m just tired. I just wish people would pay attention to my words and not my face. FML

Thanks for the reminder
Today, I was comforting my friend who has a toxic relationship with her Mom. She said, "If I'm such a failure, they always make it known that I can't live up to their expectations." It caught me a bit off guard when she said, "I wish she would just leave me alone and leave my life just like your mom did." FML

You actually have someone to blame if your life doesn't work out! Just keep reminding her!

Are you just ugly? Or are you stupid and lazy, too? I just gotta know why she said that.

Mother: I have failed as a parent. OP: You're still alive, so clearly I have failed as a child.
