Today, my mother told me that for a period when I was a baby, every night she stood over my crib with a bottle of bourbon and a gun, convincing herself not to shoot me for ruining her life by being born when she was only 18. I wish I could be more like my siblings, who don't visit her anymore. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my mom came home heavily drunk. As I was taking care of her, she told me all about how I was a mistake. That didn't hurt nearly as much as when she told me she wishes I'd died during her pregnancy. 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 once-alcoholic mom told me that she would sell me for a shot of vodka. FML
Today, my mom laid into me, calling me a selfish bitch, blaming me for my dad not being around and finally that she should’ve aborted me. All because I couldn't get her booze from the neighborhood market she’s been banned from. I’m not even 21. FML
Today, my drunken mother told me I'm just like my father and that I don't give a fuck about her. She's living in my home and drinking my wine. FML
Today, I visited my family. Over the course of 2 hours, my brother punched me, and my mom slapped me across the face after drinking way too much wine. When I started gathering my things to leave, my mom started crying about how I don't visit enough. FML
Today, I overheard my mother saying that if murder were legal, there would be absolutely no chance that I wouldn’t have been killed as a baby. FML
Today, my drunk mom told me to apologize for being born. FML
Today, I asked my mother why she didn't drink. She laughed and said, "The last time I drank was the night you were conceived. I didn't need any other disasters." FML
Today, I told my mom that having watched my sister ruin her life having kids who grew into brats with criminal records before their teens, I refused to ruin my life the same way and will be childless. I then turned to leave and they were in the doorway, my sister and her two brats. I got slapped. FML

If your mom told you that, cut her out of your life ASAP. You do not need that toxicity in your life.

After hearing that, I wouldn't visit anymore either. Maybe a text or call but nothing more. Live your life. She blames you for a mistake she made, I can't imagine what other BS she has done.

Whoa!!!!! NOPE NOPE NOPE! Idc how many times I say this. I will continue saying it. YOU CHOOSE YOUR FAMILY!!! Get rid of her and remove her from your life ASAP! That's a high degree of abuse. No wonder your siblings don't visit her. You need to cut ties with her and explore to find other people more suitable. You may even find a mother figure. But please treat yourself and cut her off!!!

I agree completely. my mother is a rotten POS as well, and I will never speak to her again. I picked an older friend that's awesome and asked if she would be my Mommy, and that's been great ever since!

It pisses me off that people blame the child. You didn't ask to be born, certainly not to a "mother" (for lack of another word) like her. You're not the one who got pregnant. She had other choices, you didn't. Tell her to take a flying leap and move on!

Please cut her out of your life. She is toxic, and you are better off without her.
