Today, my estranged mother texted me saying, "Gran died, LOL." My grandmother and I were fairly close, so I was shocked and disgusted. I gave her the benefit of the doubt and asked if she knew what "LOL" meant. She did. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my phone made a random noise. I jokingly said, "Wow, I wonder who died now?" Turns out it was my son's grandmother. I had to explain it because I screamed. I also got to tell his dad that his mom just died. 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, my mom was talking about my grandma's approaching death. When she saw I was getting upset, she gave me a weird look and asked me if I was PMSing. FML
Today, my mother sent a letter to my best friend trying to comfort her over the death of her mother. She signed the letter "LOL, Jen" thinking LOL stood for "lots of love." FML
Today, my grandmother called. She greeted me by my mother's name. When I told her it wasn't my mother, she apologized and corrected herself, but this time she addressed me as my sister. When I told her it wasn't my sister either, she said, "Sorry, wrong number" and hung up. FML
Today, I called my mom to let her know that my father, her ex-husband, suffered a series of mini strokes. Her reply was essentially, "Oh that sucks. Are you still taking your grandmother to lunch sometime this week?" Dad lives halfway across the country. FML
Today, while at my aunt's funeral, my grandma who has terrible memory loss asked me whose funeral we were at. I had to explain to her that her daughter had died. FML
Today, I walked into my house to find everyone sitting around the table and looking sad. I thought it would be a good time to crack a joke and said, "What's wrong? Grandma finally die?" Turns out she had. FML
Today, I decided it would be pretty amusing to press the "Like" button on everyone's status on Facebook without reading them just to get on peoples' nerves. After re-reading them later, I found out one of them said "I MISS YOU SOO MUCH GRANDMOM. RIP". I liked that her grandmother died. FML
Today, after mourning and making my girlfriend cancel her big birthday party, I found out my grandma didn't actually die. FML

There are two possibilities. 1: She's one of those older people who think LOL means "Lots of love". 2: She's a goddamn, heartless, soulless bitch. Sorry for your loss, OP.

OP , your mother sounds like a cold blooded bitch. For your own mother to say that is truly shocking . It doesn't shock me that you have nothing to do with her. I hope you deal with your grandmother passing well. Feel better OP.

Ok, first let me start off by saying to all “older” people that LOL does in fact mean “Laugh out Loud” and not “Lots of Love” contrary to belief. On that note, I’m sure your mother meant “Lots of Love” did you tell her that LOL means laugh out loud? If you just asked her if she knows what LOL means than I’m wagering to believe she thinks it means “Lots of Love” like most older people believe.

Why don't you read the whole fml. Bc she did ask her mom if she knew what it meant. Did you even read it??

I can't even think of anything witty to say about that. That's just ****** up.

But do you know what it means to her? It' has changed meanings over time. If she knew it stood for "Laughs out Loud" then that's just messed up!

Read the FML again. She asked if her mom knew what it meant and she did.
