Today, my mother was reading an annual Christmas letter from an old university friend. When she remarked that she could have married him instead of my father, I replied that she wouldn't have had me then. She then said, "Exactly, I could have had his daughter instead." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my old man told me that he only married my mom because she convinced him she was pregnant with his child. In fact, she aborted a week later. "And then we had you instead." FML
Today, I thought my mom and I could put aside our differences and open our Christmas presents. When she opened mine, she turned to my dad and said she didn't want the present, so I could give it to someone else. 'Tis the season. FML
Today, my mom got drunk and started crying, ranting about all the things she could have done in life if I hadn't been born. FML
Today, my 5-year-old daughter was asked by her teacher to write a letter to each member of her family to read during the holidays. Her letter to me said, "Dear mommy, come on. You could have done better than dad." FML
Today, my mum told me she would rather spend Christmas with her boyfriend than with her own family. FML
Today, my mom said that if I wasn't her daughter, she probably wouldn't even like me. FML
Today, my parents made a list of all the things they could have done had I not been born. FML
Today, my mother was talking about a holiday she went on this time last year. She turned to me to say, "You would've loved it, it's a shame you couldn't come". I was there. It was just the two of us on holiday together. FML
Today, I asked my mother why she had me in the first place, as we never get along. She replied because my father wanted me. So, I called my father to ask him the same question, he said he only wanted to have me to keep my mother around, and that didn't work, so I was a waste. FML
Today, my mother told me to my face that if she could do it all over again, she wouldn't have had kids. Thanks, Mum. It's not like I asked to be born. FML

"So understand Don't waste your time always searching for those wasted years" Personally-- I'm just grateful I wasn't swallowed instead. :P

Or abandoned to die a slow, painful, agonizing death stuck in between the pages of a **** mag, in the male toilet of the local mechanics workshop...

Even if she was playing around, that was a horrible thing to say

does your father know about the letters? or what's in them?

Pretty sure the FML never stated that OP's mom and her classmate ever had an affair, or that the Christmas cards contained anything remotely inappropriate.

I'm sure she was just kidding. Me and my mother have that kind of relationship. She says mean stuff to me, I laugh and tell her it's too bad cause she's the one who raised me to be the way I am.

This wouldn't be on FML if the mother was joking. That's a bitch thing to say.

How kind. Don't worry, my mom said she wishes she just had my brothers and wants me to move out. Too bad I'm only 14.

My mom was having a bitch fit one day and denounced me and my twin sister,"You aren't my children. You are monsters!" And then claimed my little brother was her only child. I understand :-(

Some people are really ***** to their kids. Today, I saw a monster---I mean mother--tell her daughter the only thing she was getting for Christmas was a gym membership because she was too far to wear stylish clothing. Her kid was 16 and looked ready to cry. The other girl with them got a ton of clothes. I ended up sitting in the Target Starbucks with her while she cried her eyes out. Her mother "forgot" her at the store, told her to walk her happy ass hole (10 miles). I bought her some food, took her home, and asked if she wanted to call the police. She has my number but I haven't gotten the call yet.

sounds like your mother's genes are the problem ones, not your dad's.

Love you too, mum. Thanks for the comforting stroll down memory lane. No one on earth can make you feel deep sorrow, inadequate, regret, miniscule and hollow like your mum.
