Today, my mother beamingly asked for my opinion on her wedding dress. She is engaged to her cousin. Conveniently, they already have the same last name. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was reading through a local wedding mag's advice page. A mother-in-law to be was writing about how to handle wanting her son to break off his engagement. I thought, "Wow. That must suck. I'm glad I like my mother-in-law to be." And then I saw her name. FML
Today, I announced my engagement. My mother's response was to freak out and demand that I postpone my wedding indefinitely. Why? My younger sister caught the bouquet at a wedding last year, so "she has to get married first!" My sister has been single for 3 years and showers once a week. FML
Today, my dad married his fiancée, who insists I call her "Mom." I'm three years older than her, and went to the same high school. She's taking me shopping next week to buy me "something nice." FML
Today, I called my mom to make sure she could attend on the wedding day my fiancé and I had discussed. She started off with criticizing the venue we considered, then went on to criticize my fiancé, and then stated she would under no circumstances help out, but demanded to pick my wedding dress. FML
Today, my mother excitedly jumped up and down, announcing that one of her sweet younger coworkers got engaged. I wished she'd had the same reaction to my engagement when I announced it to her a few days earlier. FML
Today, I'm going to be helping the love of my life pick out an engagement ring for my cousin. FML
Today, I met my mom's fiancé. He's a nice guy, he's also my wife's dad. I'll soon call my wife my sister. FML
Today, my fiancé told me he wants to buy an engagement ring for his mother, so that she doesn't feel left out. FML
Today, I called my mother to tell her that I got engaged. In the 15 minute conversation that followed, 13 were spent listening to how this is going to affect her. FML
Today, my brother had his fiancée over to meet the whole family. We were having a great time with her, and my mother gushed to her that she was like the daughter she never had. I'm her daughter. FML

So, more than 2 years later, I have the biggest update ever. Not only did they never get married, but apparently the engagement was all in her head. The guy suddenly died after she found this out. There is no certainty, but most speculation points to her being involved. I know almost for certain that she was, because she attempted to use me as an alibi. She was there at the time of incident, but never told me. She claimed to be about 4 hours south of the incident, where she usually lives. She called me and asked if she should send police to check on him because he wasn't answering his phone and she was worried. Completely acted like she had no idea what was going on but was just worried. Eyewitness account puts her at the scene where he was injured with what would kill him. If she was there and was innocent, why not call 911 and get him help? Why drive like a maniac to where you supposedly were, then frantically call your daughter and pretend like you're just concerned and know nothing about the situation? Unless you did something wrong and you're trying to hide it? In the horror of knowing that my mother was involved in a potential murder and involved me without my consent or knowledge, I have told many friends. She now is going after me, telling my doctor that I'm insane and neglect my child, making many other kinds of threats. Not good. At this point, my entire family does not speak to her and will lock their doors and call the police if she appears. If anyone has an opinion on this and has possibly professional advice, I would love to hear it in a message. This is horrifying at best. FML

As long as they're not first cousins it's not an issue. Get over it.
