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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I heard my surgeon mutter to a nurse how easy it would be to kill me on the operating table and make it look like an accident. FML
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, a number of people came to visit me in the hospital, including my grandparents. They called me "weak" and "a cowardly millennial" for going to the ER instead of sucking it up, and blamed me for rising healthcare costs. I had a compound fracture. FML
Today, I was finally having a conversation with my granny, who I don't get to see often. First thing she tells me was that she was going to have surgery soon, because her "women's insides" were "dangling out." FML
Today, after having surgery, I called my family to tell them I was out, safe, and on my way home. The first thing they asked was if they could "borrow" some of my pain meds. FML
Today, my surgeon was talking to me about my upcoming heart bypass operation. I was extremely nervous from the start, but he somehow managed to keep saying things like "death", "fatalities", "high-risk", and "never wake up" throughout. FML
Today, I overheard my in-laws talking about me. It started off with light insults and ended with, "People like her are the reason murder ain't always wrong". FML
Today, I was diagnosed with a chronic pain condition. My parents seemed very sympathetic and my mother even cried. When we got home, though, they started laughing and asked if I really believed all the shit the doctor was talking about. FML
Today, I was talking to my only grandson about how I was going to the dentist to get my teeth fixed and how it was going to cost a lot of money, he replied saying "Who cares, you're going to die soon anyways". FML
Today, I got my wisdom teeth taken out. The two male doctors told me they'd give me anesthesia, but when they did, I could still hear them. I heard them talking about my breasts and how flat they were for a 17 year old. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

That's harsh and very inconsiderate. I wish you the best with your surgery and health!

Good lord, that's awful. Things like this make me grateful my fiancé's family likes me. I'm really sorry OP. If it's any help, you're not a drain on the system, people like them are though. I hope your surgery goes well, best of luck!

I hope everyone on FML is cheering you up. That's uncalled for, OP. They're assholes for saying those awful things.

Best of luck with your surgery. As for your in-laws. You should surgically removed their dumbasses from your life because you don't need people that like OP

What do they think the health care system is for? Healthy people? Their logic makes absolutely no sense. I hope the best for you in your surgery, op!

I think i need a new arsehole-o-meter, one with a bigger scale. FML's lately have been breaking it from the sheer arseholery of people.

I feel your surgical pain man. I've racked up 14 so far and my 15th is on the horizon. I also had two spinal surgeries to fix my scoliosis (Nearly bleed to death on the first so they had to cut it short.). Hang in there man and ignore you heartless in-laws. You can get them back when they are old. Good luck on your surgery and I hope all goes well.

Good luck with your surgery. People like your in-laws are cruel and mean. Tell your partner and stand up for yourself.

my mother in law tried to convince my at the time boyfriend (now hubby) that I got pregnant on purpose to trap him since my parents were leaving. my aunt in law told him to "dump the bitch and pay child support, you dont need her" on two totally different times. lets start a "in laws hate us for nothing" club.
