Today, my mom died suddenly in a car crash on holiday in Spain. My husband has been struggling not to smile like a Cheshire Cat all fucking day because 1) they hated each other and 2) mom was as rich as Croesus and I’m her only child. I want my mom back. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my mother died unexpectedly of a heart attack. To make matters worse, every time he thinks I’m not watching him, my husband has a Cheshire Cat grin on his face, and a few times I’ve even seen him dancing in happiness. FML
Today, I’m stuck in a situation. It’s my mom's wedding, but her fiancé had a heart attack and died this morning. Now I’m surrounded by crying people, having to pretend to be upset so no one gets mad at me. I couldn’t care less to be honest, the man was an arsehole who treated mom and me like shit in private. FML
Today, my mother-in-law passed away. She wasn’t even cold yet when my wife told me she wanted a divorce. Apparently, only her mother guilt-tripping her kept us together the last few years, but now she’s dead, she’s dumping my ass. FML
Today, my best friend died in a car accident. I'm currently on a cruise with my family and my parents refuse to pay for me to go home early, which means I'm likely going to miss the funeral. FML
Today, it's been a week since my mother died. She had no life insurance and was over $20,000 in debt, plus her hospital/funeral bills. My father wants nothing to do with me as she was a one night stand and he never paid child support. I'm behind on rent and bills because I'm injured from work. Thanks for nothing, mom. FML
Today, I illicitly borrowed my dad's car to go to the store, but crashed into my mom's car as she and dad were returning from my grandma's house. Both cars are totalled, my mom is in hospital with a broken collarbone, and I realised dads really can make steam come out their ears if they’re really mad. FML
Today, my car crapped out in the middle of the road, after over a year of only being able to find short contract jobs, all while juggling the grief of the back to back deaths of my mother and grandfather. FML
Today, my boyfriend broke up with me, because apparently my mom hates him and doesn't want us to be together. My mom died six years ago. FML
Today, my mom walked in on me crying in my room and yelled at me for being a "weak little crybaby." I’d just found out my best friend died in a car accident. When I told my mom that, she said, "Does it look like I fucking care?" FML
Today, my mother casually told me she’s been seeing someone for the past 3 months. My dad passed away 2 years ago. They were together for 40 years. Suddenly she had to get off the phone with me because her “guy she’s been talking to” was calling. Hence I’m on the wine. FML

keep the money and make him say nice things about her to earn an allowance. FYL that does suck. Man can hate his inlaws all he wants but he does need to at least PRETEND to support you

You have my sympathy. Losing a Mother is very heartbreaking. I don’t understand how your husband can be such an arse.

this isn't that weird. My coworkers inlaw is a piece if work. treats her daughter like crap, shows up in a time of need and makes her feel like being their is a chore, or just doesn't show up then blames the daughter. but because of how much Gaslighting happens she thinks her mother is pretty good unless she makes her mom angry. there is no love between my coworker and inlaw. Ops husband should 100% be in comfort mode, and keep his joy to himself, but I do get why he could not see the issue with being happy about this.

Sorry for your loss, of a dear sweet mother and what was once a husband. Hope other family members will come with comforting support you need.

Inheritance, in my state, is kept by the woman in divorce. Divorce the man who is relishing in your grief and unhappiness. I'm so sorry for your loss.

I really hope you have an iron-clad prenup and that he won't see a penny of this money.

🫂 I'm sorry. Your other half is a walking red flag though. You keep that shit to yourself. You might want to rethink the relationship if he's so happy about this and the cash. He clearly has zero emotional investment in your feelings. He's just empirically proven that he'll never actually be there for you, just himself. Gloating about someones death to their child is horrific. Gloating about the cash is horrific. You need an actually functional partner. Not this psychopath. When someone shows you who they really are, Believe them.
