Chilling

You're judging her for a confirmed psychological disorder? Classy.

Look, if you have a bad relationship with her, that's one thing. I can take pity and say I'm sorry you have a poor relationship with your boyfriend's mother. But coming on here and going all "FML" about another woman's psychological condition isn't gonna gain much sympathy. Maybe she felt she could confide in you and tell you this personal, painful bit of her history without you. All I'm saying is that, if your relationship is that bad, complain about something else, instead of her post-partum depression. One more thing: It's also not appropriate for a 17-year-old to talk about marriage. I seriously doubt you're mature enough or ready for it. (And no, that's not judging you personally. That's my opinion on all 17-year-olds.)

To #20: Actually, fantasies about killing your baby are one of the symptoms of severe PPD. A frightening number of women actually go through with it, too. So, uh, you're absolutely wrong. To the OP: Whether or not you have "other issues" with the woman, the fact is that you specifically wrote about her psychological illness--something she can't control. She opened up to you in a moment of weakness, and you plastered it on the internet as though her disease somehow messes up your life. You're aren't going to get much sympathy from readers for doing something so incredibly insensitive and self-absorbed. Your attempts at defending yourself just make you look more pathetic. If you wanted to write something like "Today, my boyfriend and I talked about getting married. The problem? His mother and I hate each other. FML," then it'd be a different story. You're entitled to write whatever you want. Just remember that if you want sympathy, this is not the way to go about complaining about your future mother-in-law.

Just keep your eye on her. Everyone has problems at some time in their life.

thats really normal. my mom said she used to want to throw my brother shane out a window when he would cry nonstop.

Actually that was my threat when I was really depressed after having my kid. It's stressful having a kid. I also threaten to throw my husband out the window when he pisses me off. She was probably being serious but she didn't throw him out the window because no matter how stressed out you are you still love your child. I hope you can forgive her :)

Even if she does has a psychological disorder, that had to be unsettling to hear. I mean really, that would freak me out if someone who could be my mother-in-law told me she wanted to throw her son out the window. Later, once I thought about it, I would probably be more understanding. But you can't just drop something like that on someone you hardly know and expect them to immediately be okay with it. It would be a little bit of a shocker, you know?

She was depressed, she didn't do it!

What the eff would this have to do with you? Absoultely nothing It should be him saying FML,not you.

So we're suposed to take pity on YOU cause your she had a psychological disorder and your boyfriend wants to get married? First of all she deserves the pity for having to suffer through that. Secondly, congratulations on getting engaged. I don't see how you have anything wrong in your life. Stop judging her and not wanting to associate yourself with her over a disorder that was NOT her fault.

Why does it seem like all the weirdest FML's come from Canada?

really when you marry someone their mom becomes your mother in law wow that's news to me
