Today, everything that was beautiful and pure in my life turned into a terrible, warped version of what it once was. Today, I lost all hope and no longer believe that life, although sometimes shitty, is sweet and worth living. Today, I met my mother-in-law. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my hate for my mother-in-law now outweighs my love for my husband. FML
Today, I visited my in-laws, whom I thought I was on great terms with. I soon learned that wasn't the case when my mother-in-law yelled at me about how I've been abusing her for years. Ten minutes later, she hugged me and asked me for grandkids. FML
Today, my future mother-in-law started shit-talking me on Facebook, and we got into a heated argument. She called me later in the day, saying I'll be lucky if I ever marry her son and that, "You'll suffer to your last breath." I'm now terrified to set foot outside. FML
Today, I was trying to cope with my emotions so I could hold them back, but mom made it worse by inviting my niece, who is only attracted to my sister-in-law AKA Mommy, and she will cry till she gets her way. What a fucking day. FML
Today, my mom came home heavily drunk. As I was taking care of her, she told me all about how I was a mistake. That didn't hurt nearly as much as when she told me she wishes I'd died during her pregnancy. 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, things got so bad with my mother-in-law that I seriously considered faking my entire family's deaths to escape it all. FML
Today, my mother looked me dead in the face and said, "I have failed as a parent." FML
Today, I am living a nightmare. My mother is now friends with my wife and my mother-in-law, plus my sister is now friends with my wife’s sisters. All that needs to happen now is they all get together in the same room and my life will be over; it will be a 7 on 1 massacre, and I’ll be the 1. FML
Today, my mom said, "I'm sorry your life is such shit." She meant it as an apology. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

This is probably the most poetic description of the abomination otherwise known as a monster-in-law.

It all started when she hijacked your computer, didn't it?

This is sad. I feel like crying. How can she be that bad. Unless she's your rival that you've hated all your life.

My God, how much of a demonspawn is she to have deserved this detailed of an FML?

My condolences...

Maybe it's just me but I thought people met their significant other's parents before marriage. I feel like this should be "my boyfriend's mom" or "future mother-in-law". And the way OP describes her...I really hope you didn't meet her at your wedding.
hdhillon 10
Yeah I've met my boyfriends mom and we aren't married yet and don't plan on any time in the next year maybe like in two or three but that's besides the point his mom is the sweetest lady I've ever met even nicer than my own mother

Comman, take a breath...

101, and the point of that non punctuated paragraph was?

@87 there could be many reasons for not meeting her before the wedding although it is unusual maybe it was unavoidable for personal issues etc
SuperMew 22
My sister met her Parent-in-laws once, after the birth of her second child, a son. They said she did not matter until she gave birth to a son. She has three kids, and they have never even called to ask about anyone but Ryan.

How do u know that op is a girl?
Skylar16 2
Why did you not meet her before you got married? I thought most couples meet the others families after a year or so of dating, or at least at the engagement. Maybe even the wedding??

Keep your chin up

This is the most depressing fml I've read.
kyu_Q 19
nooo you tuck your chin and don't make eye contact. hopefully she will not notice you too often

She's that bad?

I wonder how he's going to feel when he has to deal with a kid lol.
greeneyebeauty9 28
that's what I'm saying. but, I wonder if she's literally his mother-in-law. I can't help but think you shouldve met her already if you're married. maybe she wasn't able to attend your wedding? or lives far away? it's kind of confusing..
JMichael 26
Apparently so

wait till she moves in.... goodbye sex life

I feel like OP would have given a concrete example if she were that bad.

Just remember, mother-in-law is just an anagram for woman hitler.

Or maybe it was so bad, it would have frozen our souls.

OP should get their revenge when she goes into a home. tell the nurses she's crazy, sabotage things, push her down the stairs in her wheel chair, all sorts of fun!
imlifeless2 25
that's a bit much, don't you think?
falon142012 22
Well you know, mother-in-law can be rearranged to spell woman hitler. And I sympathize, OP. Mine is pretty demonic also. Better now than 2 years ago though.

"You were laying on the carpet like you're satin in a coffin. You said, "Do you believe what you're sayin'?" Yeah right now, but not that often. " Everyone loves Modest Mouse..

this isnt the most poetic. have you not read the FML about the guy who started eating cat treats again?

I think this is the greatest FML I have and will ever read.

Mother-in-law Switch words around Woman hitler

Satin's gone soft these days.
SuperMew 22
I often find, when seeing my boyfriend's mother, that I need to summon Satin, the unholy stripper that she is. My sister met her husband's parents three years into the marriage because until she had a son "why bother with bad breeding." They also don't acknowledge my nieces, only my nephew. So, there are some really terrible, bitchy in-laws. However, Op should take a leaf from my sister's book and tell them "if you do not treat me or my children with kindness we don't want you around in our lives." Cut the tumor save your life.

You meant monster-in-law right?
drewflav 17
Actually, if you rearrange the letters, it forms "Woman Hitler"

57- I see Woman... but then there's no 'H'. Almost!
violetsweety 26
Never mind. You were using 'mother'. Just kidding!

plot twist. I guess I got lucky. my mother in law is the sweetest.
shyeahh_fml 19
How is this a plot twist?
mackdeezy 22
I say its time "plot twist" joins the ranks of "what a x situation" and the other puns that overstayed their welcome.
marcranger 29
The problem with that picture, 53, is that I imagine every comment you make in Q's voice. The bigger problem is that 99% of the time, I can imagine it's the exact sort of comment Q would make, usually while looking at Picard suggestively.
LindsayxMoore 18
it's a plot twist cause I was not expecting that as I read it.
mackdeezy 22
Ouch. Well I wish you the best of luck OP. Hopefully one day she'll warm up to you. At least you're gonna outlive her.... unless she has any say in it.
macelonel 26
run away now while you can

She can't be THAT bad, right?

OP sounds like a very poetic drama queen.
