Today, I was invited to a counseling group for people with emotional problems. I brought the permission slip home for my mom to sign, only for her to accuse me of being a hypochondriacal, lazy, selfish bitch. And my friends wonder why I have problems. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my mother threw a fit because the psychologist she got me suggested I visit a psychiatrist. Apparently, it's my fault because I "choose" to be so "crazy". FML
Today, my mom found out that I've been having counselling behind her back for the past 4 years. I broke down in tears explaining everything. Her response was, "So you go and bitch about me behind my back?!" And she wonders why I'm depressed. FML
Today, my manipulative mother got upset and started ignoring me. All because she lectured me about doing too much for other people, then proceeded to tell me all her problems, and I actually took her advice. Other people's problems are not my responsibility to fix. FML
Today, my step-mom asked if I was having some eating issues. I admitted that maybe I've picked up some bad habits from friends and school. Now she won't stop bombarding me with self-help books and therapy websites. FML
Today, my mom read my diary. Then she frantically booked me an appointment with a psychiatrist. FML
Today, after my therapist told me I should open up to my friends more, I sent a message to a pen-pal and told her that I had asked for and found help with my postpartum troubles. She replied that I'm a bad friend for "always burdening her with my problems." FML
Today, my mom tried to give me a pep talk to boost my self confidence. Somehow, it ended up turning into a conversation about how much of a loser I am and how I have no friends. FML
Today, my mom sent me to a counselor she knew "through the church" so that I could get some stressors off my chest. Worst idea ever. This "counselor" invalidated everything I had to say and basically told me to pray the issues away, all while completely ignoring me. FML
Today, I was crying to my sister that my therapist office messed up and didn’t schedule my appointment. My mom overheard and yelled, "You don’t need that mess anyway! Just pray about it!” Being raised with her religious fanaticism is what led to my insomnia, anxiety, depression, and guilt complex. FML
Today, my mother snapped and took her frustrations out on me. Whenever she has a problem with other family members, it falls on me because she can't show them her true face to them. And she wonders why I hide away all the time… FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Sounds EXACTLY like something my mom would say. I hope you can work these issues out as soon as possible; I've been in counseling for nearly seven years because of abuse like that. :(

Forge her signature, go to the group and then tell them all about it.

Been there. Shut her out completely, it takes time but it is possible not to be affected anymore by what she says or does to you. **** your life OP, I hope you'll be alright some day.

It's sad how many times I've had to say something like that to my friends regarding their batshit insane parents. And it's ****** weird cause most of my friends ACTUALLY have batshit or overly religious parents, completely inept at being a proper parent. And you're always looked down upon for even mentioning the idea, "MY parents? Why on Earth would I do that? They're my parents, they brought me here, I should be thankful."

If it helps at all, I've been there, too. I think some parents are just terrified of the idea that something might be wrong with their kid, so they shout instead. It's none of her business, though, this is about you - I'm with Jimboom, forge it.
