Today, a few days within moving back in with my mother, I received sympathy flowers for my deceased son. They were from my ex-neighbor, the bitch who was supposed to be watching him but instead decided to have sex with my soon to be ex-husband in the house while my son drowned in the pool. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my neighbor called me on vacation to tell me that she let my mother into my house to feed my fish. I don't have fish, and my mother passed away 3 years ago. FML
Today, I was once again sent tons of Mother's Day cards in the mail, even though my son died years ago and I've told people that I'm not a mother anymore. FML
Today, my lovely ex-mother-in-law died and now my ex has stopped talking to me. I found out through a mutual friend that we only had an amicable divorce in case his mother had left me money in her will, but now he’s got all her money, he didn’t even take time to invite me to the funeral. FML
Today, my mom came to me, hysterically crying that her boyfriend had hit and choked her. I’d feel bad for her except he’s my ex who also beat me, yet when I turned to my mother for help she decided to take him in instead and get pregnant with his kid. What goes around comes around bitch! FML
Today, I was in a terrific mood after finding a bouquet of beautiful flowers on my doorstep when I came home. That is, until I recognised the handwriting of my "secret admirer" was the same as my mother's. FML
Today, after spending $120 to have a bouquet of flowers delivered to my mom, she called to complain that I had forgotten about her for Mother's day, but also praise my sister for apparently receiving my flowers I sent at the door and passing them off as hers. FML
Today, my mother yet again chose to put my brother's junkie of an ex-girlfriend's needs and happiness above mine, despite the fact that she's stolen thousands of dollars and anything else of value from my mom's house. FML
Today, my ex-boyfriend accepted my mother's offer to have his wedding in our backyard. FML
Today, I was painting my new house when my neighbor introduced himself. Mid-conversation, he said, "The lady who lived here was nice, but just couldn't get over her husband hanging himself in the garage. Or her son shooting himself in the basement." I'll never sleep again. FML
Today, I let my estranged husband move back in with my son and me. Later, his pregnant and underage girlfriend knocked on my door, crying about how her mom kicked her out. I'm such a pushover, they're in my bed and I'm on the couch. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I can’t even imagine what you might be going through right now. I hope you will eventually be able to heal from this and move on, without the dead weight of your soon-to-be-ex husband dragging you down.

if it were my son, that ****'s mother would know what it feels like to lose a child that day too. I'm so ******* sorry for your loss. no words could ever express the absolute devastation and numbness that comes with losing a child. I hope you get some sort of closure, and mental help. Keep yourself safe, he would want you to. much love.

Also, I would sue or try to press charges for negligence and literally ANYTHING I could throw at them BOTH. **** them. **** them to hell, where they belong. I am so ******* mad for you. **** I hate humans so much.

is your soon to be ex husband the father? why wasn't he watching your son? sorry for your loss, id probably kill both of them for that, but that's just me.

I'd imagine the husband was supposed to be out at this time, perhaps at work or said to be out of town but was used as a ruse to hook up with the babysitting neighbor girl.

**** her for sleeping with your husband. **** him for cheating. But especially, **** her for adding insult to injury.

I hope you are taking said ex-neighbor to court over this

Hopefully criminal court. Negligence causing death, for one.

Well that's a lawsuit on about a million levels. Child endangerment, murder/manslaughter, adultery, wrongful death... the list goes on. Sue them both! I know it won't bring your son back, but you definitely deserve some justice from both of them. While we're at it, you said the neighbor was supposed to be watching the kid. Why wasn't your (soon to be ex) husband watching him? He was obviously home. They're both at fault.

This is so horrible, I can't even imagine what you are going through. I hope you have a loving supporting environment around you to help you through this hardship. my sincere condolences

I’ve been reading this website for about 15 years. This is hands down the worst thing that’s ever happened to anyone that I can remember. How awful.

I'm so sorry. I know how angry you are, and you have every right to be. There's nothing I can do or say to take even an ounce of that away for even a moment, but I hope you find peace in your son's memory and that you can move forward without the reminders of this woman's existence.
