Pants on fire

Today, my mom admitted that her story about my dad leaving us for his current wife was a lie. He left when he caught her with a coworker. She blocked his number and got a restraining order to keep him from telling his side of the story. I haven't talked to my dad for six years because of this. FML

Narcissistic parents strike again

By psychobunnycutie - 06/04/2021 05:00

Today, I got a call from my mom's new husband. It lasted 3 minutes and those 3 minutes were of him telling me how sad I make my mom for just existing, how jealous I make her because I'm living a life she wished she was. Turns out, she told him to call me and say that because I have her blocked. FML

Today, six years after I gave up my newborn to my sister to raise, I finally told him I’m his real mom. In response, my sister took out a restraining order against me and blocked all forms of contact. The entire family has sided with her. 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, I was told by step-dad, who I live with, that my mom "hates my guts" while smiling so big, because he got a call from her. He's so desperate for her to come back that all the lying, cheating, manipulation, and emotional abuse doesn't push him away. She's a tornado. FML

Today, my dad and I got into an argument, and he ended up calling me a son of a bitch. My mom heard and started arguing with him over him calling her a bitch. Three hours later, I'm now staying at my gran's house with my mom and hoping her threats of a divorce weren't for real. FML

Today, my mom let it slip that she was divorcing my dad. After making me promise to keep it from him and my little sisters, she had me help her with her plans to renovate the house. She intends to kick him out once it's done. FML

FYL. Hopefully you call your dad and try to build a relationship with him and get away from your mom. She's the kind of woman that will rot your life if you don't get away as soon as you can.

Both yours and your father's lives are very ******. If I were you I'd be off of FML and looking for ways to reconnect with my dad.

For people (especially men) who can relate to the type of woman in this story, google shrink4men and check out the wordpress blog with that title.

Smear her, disown her, get her fired from her job, move in with your dad (if you can) - essentially, do whatever it takes to make her pay for her crime. People like that deserve nothing but the worst. Also, it's your dad's FML, not yours. Oh, and get out of there as soon as you can. You don't want to make company or live with people like that.

Cheaters lie. Go figure. Listen, this stuff is very common, as the comments suggest. Don't assume your father's completely innocent either - but sometimes, being a man, you realize when the cards are stacked against you. A lot of fathers give up, because they just don't see any way to "win" at this game. In California, if your spouse cheats, they still get half your stuff in the divorce. In states like New York and New Mexico, the cheating spouse can get royally screwed in a divorce.

YDI for not giving your dad the chance to talk with you about it himself. There's two sides to every story, and even people who cheat are only human, parents not excepted. My mother divorced my own father after he would stay out all night drinking and sleeping around, but there's nothing I wouldn't have given just for him to want to be a part of my life. In your case, YOU were the one who chose not to speak to him, so you will get no pity from me.

...are you insane? I'm hoping you just can't read/need glasses. HE HAD A RESTRAINING ORDER. Do you know what the hell they are?? My mum got one against my dad last year, with my name on it and my brother's. He legally could not see me, phone me, text me, email me, go within 300 yards of our house/where I was living. I wanted to talk to him DESPERATELY but I didn't want him to go to 2 years jail or pay a fine of $200,000. Even if the OP wanted to get his side of the story, she had absolutely no chance of doing so. Not to mention we have no idea how old she is. What if she was ten when the separation happened? Her mum could have easily brainwashed her at that age to believe her dad was an evil lying bastard. My mum brainwashed my brother to believe similar things about our dad and he's ten! God, I bloody hate people who jump to conclusions. Yeah, MAYBE she was old enough to be more mature about it, but WE DON'T KNOW, so stop assuming!! God, is it that hard??? /rant.
