Today, it turns out calling out my mother's best friend out for the right-wing conspiracy theorist she is wasn't one of my best ideas. Now, my mother won't even reply to my messages. It's been two months. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, it's been over a month since my mom has answered my calls or texts. Why? Because I didn't write an elaborate post on her Facebook for her birthday like my sister did. I only called and messaged with her all day. FML
Today, my mom, for absolutely no reason, is interacting with an old "friend" (read: toxic bitch) whom I cut out of my life six months ago and I never want to hear about again. She doesn't understand what's wrong, nor does she care that it makes me uncomfortable. I hate her. FML
Today, my mother broke into my emails and rejected the best job offer I’ve ever had, all because the job is on the other side of the country, and she’s a selfish bitch who doesn't want to be left completely alone, since she has no friends and our relatives don’t speak to her anymore. FML
Today, my mother is upset that I won’t share things with her anymore. This is the woman who spent my entire childhood gossiping about every teeny tiny detail of my life, and used my suicide attempt as a way to garner pity for herself. Yeah, no thanks. FML
Today, after eight years of estrangement, I finally heard from my mother. Not that she contacted me, I just saw her in an YouTube video, in which batshit people in red hats and draped in flags were being interviewed during the "hogs gone wild" shitshow down in Florida, protesting about the FBI. FML
Today, I found out that my husband, who I've just separated from, and my mother, who I don't speak to because she's crazy, have been bitching about me behind my back. FML
Today, I found out that the messages about the issues in my sex life that I'd been sending to my best friend had been sent to my mother via iMessage. She's coming over for dinner tomorrow. FML
Today, I kindly asked my irate mother to respect my boundaries and to find other outlets for her frustration. Instead of responding AT ALL to what I had asked, she yelled at me for an hour about a completely unrelated political documentary she'd seen on YouTube, and then didn't apologize for her outburst. Typical. FML
Today, my mom left for a business trip. Thinking it was a good time to throw a party, I mass messaged everyone on my contact list. I thought it was going to be a success. The problem with this? My mom is on my contacts list. She replied "I'll be home in an hour. You're grounded." FML
Today, my mum rejected my friend request on Facebook, again. Even my high school friends are friends with her. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Sorry for your loss. Although your mom isn't gone literally, once she's gone down the right-wing conspiracy rabbit hole, you've probably lost connection to the real person.

I’m sorry @I’mmessed up, but there are “political arguments,” and “crazy conspiracy theories.” And things in the latter are absolutely not happening. 5G isn’t causing COVID. Bill Gates has nothing to do with COVID vaccines, let alone micro chipping people with them. COVID wasn’t made up by the left wing media to make Trump look bad and Trump in no way won the 2020 election. If you believe those things, you’re misguided or outright insane.

Yeah calling people out pretty much has a 0% success rate.

you keep calling us "crazy conspiracy theorists", as the things we warn of are happening. You deserve it, now pull your head out of your ass, and look at whats going on right under your nose.

Conspiracy theorists are just like you and everyone else, they just watch less tv.
