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.
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

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

My moms aunt and uncle took her in when her mother kind of gave her up. FYL, but im glad shes doing better.

I would have told him that so that he knows not to be an I sensitive asshole. My uncle passed away and I was close to him. What's it to anyone else who you are close to and whom you love. Maybe file a complaint against him. Or ask to speak to him privately and tell him you didn't appreciate his comment and that you would totally suck it up but you loved your aunt like a mother and he needs to be more sensitive. Watch him back peddle like a mofo. Sorry about your loss.

72, look a few comments above -- OP reported her boss and he got a warning for what he said. Also, her aunt didn't die, she is recovering.
