Today, I overheard my mother and sister talking so I stopped to eavesdrop. I recently enlisted in the Marines, and they were talking about what they would do with the money if I died. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I overheard my mother-in-law and sister-in-law over the baby monitor. They were talking about how much better off my daughter would be if I were to die. FML
Today, I asked my parents to sign for me to enlist in the military. They asked me how much money the government gives them if I die. FML
Today, I told my parents I was thinking about joining the army. They looked at each other and laughed for about 10 minutes straight. I wasn't joking. FML
Today, my mom came over to me and whispered something in my ear. I didn't hear it and assumed it was a joke, so I started laughing. Turns out my aunt died. FML
Today, while chatting with my in-laws, I told them about my upcoming spinal surgery. Soon after, when I went to get us some drinks, I overheard them murmuring about how many surgeries I've already had, how I'm a drain on the healthcare system, and how I should ideally just die. FML
Today, I listened to a voicemail from my mom about how she misses me and can't wait to see me when I get back from vacation. Thinking she hung up, my mother then had a conversation with my aunt about how quiet the house is without me and how she'd be blessed if I didn't come home. FML
Today, I called my mother to tell her that I got engaged. In the 15 minute conversation that followed, 13 were spent listening to how this is going to affect her. FML
Today, I overheard my girlfriend telling her friend, "Actually, it's a good thing she died, she was quite a bitch." She was talking about my mother. FML
Today, I overheard my boyfriend talking to his mom about me. It sounded like they were planning something for me, like a marriage. They were planning how to break up with me. FML
Today, at the airport, my mom began talking about how useless the war in Iraq was, and how dumb the soldiers that serve there were for enlisting during the war. The soldier at the vending machine near us caught my eye. I mouthed, "Sorry" and he mouthed, slowly, "You fuckin' better be." FML

Military haters make me laugh. Those who pass judgment are complete cowards.

#24 and #197 - Follow their advice re.: your SGLI. When my aunt was in the Air Force, we always freaked out whenever we'd read a news item about a military death. When she was in the Panamanian embassy after it was stormed, the only thing that saved her was fear on the part of the locals re.: the Marines. I don't think your family's behavior is "normal". I'm sorry that you had to hear that.

That really is pretty shitty. I'm sorry man. My fiances a Marine. We actually had a discussion one time about what I would do with the money if something were to ever happen to him (HE brought it up, not me btw). I still don't know what I'd do with it. I don't think I'd want to spend it on anything to be honest. For example, say I used it on my kids college fund. Would they feel guilty that the only reason they got the education they did was because of their father's death? Or a new car or whatever. I wouldn't be able to use whatever it is because it only came about because of his death. That's just my take on it.
