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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

FYL & YDI for being brainwashed into enlisting in a government oriented organization. No Offense. I respect anyone that will give their lives for our freedom, but not for the causes of today. Wars are created for the sole purpose of profit...but hey...that is just one guys opinion. You seriously have a messed up family. That is harsh.

Seriously its pathetic hearing childish brain dead morons. Do nothing but complain and bitch omg this wars stupid this wars a sin this blah blah blah. If the war isnt there where is it? Here obviously so unless u want something horrid happening to your family grow the **** up and shut the **** up >_> obnoxious ****. My 2 best friends died to protect ingrates like you and it makes me sick to my stomach they wer good people they wer real people not faceless dicks on the internet flaming and trying to cause trouble. Honestly do you think people join because they like to hurt they like to see there friends kill no they join to help our people. You , Me, our families. ! track minded people like you honestly are not worth he sacrifices made.

#24 is right. There are some people on this site who would tell a mom who had a miscarriage that she deserved it. Instead of being rash, confront them and ask them about their conversation. It might be a misunderstanding. It may not either, but it's best to make sure all your ducks are in line before making a big decision.

Wow, that sucks!! I agree with most people here, don't leave them anything. Also, hopefully you won't die or anything, but you know. Don't leave them anything anyway.
