Today, I broke into tears at work after being told my aunt had a stroke. My boss told me to "suck it up, no one is that close to their aunt." My aunt adopted me when my mother passed away. FML

Thanks for all the supportive comments. When I explained to him the situation he apologised and sent me home. I reported him to my senior manager and he has since received a warning for inappropriate behavior. My aunt is doing really well now, they caught it early and they say she will make a 100% recovery. She's talking again as well, but she will have to stay in hospital for a while for monitoring. Reading all the comments made me feel a lot better as well, thank you!

A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

That was very inconsiderate of him and pretty dumb to just assume! A lot of people are close to their aunt.

I would quit that is disrespectful. I was doing home healthcare and one of my clients started an arguement with me because i took some personal days off because of my grandma passing away and i ended up dropping her as a client.

Your boss is awful. It's so upsetting when someone in your family has a stroke, but I can't imagine what it would be like in your situation. I hope she makes a full recovery.

Did you at least mention to him that he adopted you? That would have shut him the **** up.

Your boss really is an inconsiderate jerk. I personally am not close to my two aunts, but one lives several states away, only visiting a few times every couple of years, and the other because of family problems with that side of the family. I do, however, have a niece from my older step-sister, and I love her to death. I was there with my sister through the whole pregnancy, I was one of the first people she told. And I think my little niece hung the moon. :) I really look forward to being able to be super close to her as she gets older. It's totally wrong to assume that family members don't mean anything to someone if they aren't your mom or dad. I really hope your aunt gets better quickly, OP. Keep your head up, and don't bother with stupid people. :)
