Today, I realized that something's wrong when you have to go to a mental hospital for a family reunion. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I was talking to my sister-in-law on the phone. She brought up the family reunion last weekend and how my family is so strange. I didn't know there was a reunion, I wasn't invited. FML
Today, I found out how my parents met. They met at a mental hospital, where they were both being hospitalized. FML
Today, I'd arranged a family reunion to see family I hadn't seen in years. Out of about 20 people, only 3 said they would come. One messaged to cancel the night before. The other two no-showed. FML
Today, I reunited with my mother and my sisters after a long time. I actually walked out of the reunion, too, after I drove 800 km away, only to find out that they're fighting over my late father's inheritance. I had vanished from my family because they were always possessive and crawling up my ass every time. FML
Today, I’m an adult and my mother lives with me, not me with her. She found out I was going to be gone for 9 days on vacation and that she couldn’t come, so she had a “mental break down” and checked herself into a psych ward. Last year, she did the same thing when I graduated college and celebrated it. FML
Today, when I got to a family reunion, I realized I've been on the internet for so long that I've forgotten how to have an actual conversation with real people. Now I'm the "Weird Uncle." FML
Today, I have to pack for tomorrow's family vacation. For one week I get to be stuck in a one bedroom cabin with my alcoholic father, bipolar mother, and two much younger siblings who have a passion for screaming. FML
Today, I found out I wasn't invited to the annual family reunion. The reason? Everyone thinks I'm "creepy" because I'm the only adult who will go out and play with the kids. FML
Today, while at a family reunion, my parents kept bringing up horrible things I did when I was about 4-6 years-old that I've been trying to forget for decades. After a while, I just stormed out. When I came back in the room, my dad had the nerve to ask me why I left and why I wasn't talking to him. FML
Today, while at my family reunion, I learned my grandparents were first cousins. No wonder we're all crazy hillbillies. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I'm with you Tennesseans on this. I can't comprehend why Peyton Manning didn't come back to you guys. I can only imagine how distraught you all are.

Especially if any of the loonies can escape the straight jacket. It is possible, ya know?

ya but only if you have it put on a certain way, and that way can leave you with a couple broken wrists

If you dislocate your shoulder in a certain way it will work. I should know.

Synesthesia (cross sensory perception) is not a psychiatric disorder any more then colour blindness is. Try again. Oh and I don't hear purple, but I can tell you it's the number 6 and kinda chewy. :p

Please delete your profile, smash whatever you're using to access FML, crawl into a dark corner and rethink your life.

Oh the things music is teaching kids now days. It's not cool to say Cray instead of crazy, it's not cool to say bay instead of babe/baby. I know every generation has their own thing but... Talking like you've never been to school a day in your life? Come on now.

Can't tell if trolling, stupid or in a rush to get near the top of the comments.

Sorry for failing at making a pun by referencing a kanye/jay-z song guys. But I've disrespected my family by getting downvoted so now I must commit seppuku.
ghostlilac 25
I got the reference, in fact it's my picture right now. This is the Internet, you need a thick skin to survive these rough parts. *puffs on cigar*

Use full stops. And when I say full stop, I mean ONE full stop.

You know, I'd feel sorry for them if most of my family was in a mental institution, not make an FML about it just for laughs and so the people make funny comments. You should actually be concerned…

Dumbass, if only 1 family member is in a mental hospital you would have to have your family reunion there. I'm pretty sure it isn't "most" ignore family rather just 1 family member

Awww, well all families have that one or two members who are... Well, special to say the least. They are still family though, and I hope you're not ashamed of tthem.

To shed some positive light, it's better when your family gets the help they may need instead of suffering through it, which inevitably affects everyone else in a negative way as well.
