Today, I told my mom about the rough time I'm having over my recent break-up, and how I can't help thinking about my ex every single day. Her attempt to console me involved saying, "Pft. I bet he doesn't think about you every day" and walking away. Thanks. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, as I sat on my couch heartbroken from a very recent breakup, my mother walked up to me and in a very comforting voice said, "Maybe he left you for someone else." FML
Today, I was texting my mother after my boyfriend broke off our relationship. She offered incredibly supportive replies such as "No, really?" and "Aww, that sucks." before apparently getting bored and claiming she had to go because her "text reception" was breaking up. FML
Today, I told my mom that I'm bulimic and have been for a few years, and that I needed help. She responded by saying, "Well that's clearly not working for you. Why don't you try anorexia?" She then patted me on the head, smiled, and walked away. FML
Today, I was feeling down following a recent breakup. My dad tried to comfort me by patting me on the back and saying everyone goes through ups and downs, "Like when I found out your mum and I were having a boy." I'm their only son. FML
Today, my mom tried to give me a pep talk to boost my self confidence. Somehow, it ended up turning into a conversation about how much of a loser I am and how I have no friends. FML
Today, I got a phone call from my mother asking me if I was okay. Confused, I asked her what she meant. She then told me that my boyfriend had broken up with me, and she just wanted to make sure I was handling it alright. I had to find out my relationship was over from my mom. FML
Today, my mom told me my relationship is a joke, because teenagers don't understand the meaning of relationships and commitment. I couldn't help but remind her how she's divorced three separate men to date. She hit me over the head so hard that snot flew out of my nose. FML
Today, my boyfriend dumped me. I tried to hide my sadness from my mom. She still noticed, and tried to cheer me up. She took me to a funeral. FML
Today, I learned that now that my mom is dead, and my dad doesn't need my emotional support during her illness anymore, he's going to go back to insulting me every time he talks to me. FML
Today, I was comforting my friend who has a toxic relationship with her Mom. She said, "If I'm such a failure, they always make it known that I can't live up to their expectations." It caught me a bit off guard when she said, "I wish she would just leave me alone and leave my life just like your mom did." FML

Well at least now you're thinking of how much of a bitch she is instead of being depressed about your ex boyfriend

Perhaps what she was trying to say was that you shouldn't be wasting your time thinking about someone who doesn't want to be with you because you deserve better than that. Or maybe your mom is just a bitch.

Write your name on his car/bicycle or house, that way he has to think of you everyday. And then **** punch your mom for being a little too insensitive, my mom would've at least thrown in a hug.

Harsh! But that's her blunt way of saying, "Baby girl, toughen up! He ain't worth your tears!"

Or possibly it's her blunt way of saying "I wonder what's on tv."

Plot on how to get back at her for the rude comment and you might not think about him as much

It will get easier with time OP. it took me two years to get over my ex, and even when I found someone else I still thought about her. Just be patient. I know it's hard. /:

Good that you got over your ex even after such a long time. It's horrible to see someone date someone new if they're not over their last. It is horribly unfair to the person who has no idea they're sharing emotional space with an ex.

So a person has to be completely immune to thoughts of their ex before they begin a new relationship, even if they really care about their new partner? Sometimes a new relationship is what a person needs to get over the old one. I don't see anything wrong with that, since the worst part of a breakup is the resulting lonliness. New person to love = no more lonely.

"YES". . .but is an "Owner of a lonely heart Much better than - an Owner of a broken heart"?:P

That must be her way of saying get a life, it beats having insincerity or does it? Well either way just be all that you can be, think about that for a second.

Same, but it's been six days since he left me... can't eat, can't sleep.. he's killing me.

I hate to say it, but it's probably true. I know we all wish that the ones who don't want us think about us all the time, but they don't. If they did, they'd be with us. Sad but harsh reality. Try to stay busy and every time you think of him, think about something else that is positive. Don't rush to date. You'll be okay, I know you're hurt but don't shed any more tears. :)

I think mom was telling the truth, and it'll pass over time.
