Today, I was at the reading of my grandma's will. Apparently I was removed from it some time ago, and the £2,500 I would have gotten went to my cheating bitch of an ex-fiancée. It seems my grandma adored her, and never forgave me for "driving her away" from the family. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my aunts found grandpa's will, which left everything to me and nothing to them, and his lawyer confirmed on the phone this was definitely grandpa's wish. My entire family now hate me and think I manipulated him. My grandpa has hated me my entire life, so I think this is his way of punishing me. FML
Today, I attended the reading of my grandfather's will. I didn't expect to receive anything, since his side of the family had always ostracized me for being born out of wedlock. I did get something: $3,500, on the binding condition that I use a portion of it to get a vasectomy. FML
Today, I attended the will reading of the old lady who accidentally ran me over with her car years ago. I was affectionately mentioned and was left with something rather substantial. I had to listen through all that while getting evil leers and silently judged by family members who got squat. FML
Today, at the reading of my mother's last will and testament, I found out that despite having cared for her for the final years of her life, she denied me an inheritance. She basically said I'm an embarrassment, because when she wrote it, I was 31 years-old, with no wife or children. FML
Today, I found I'd inherited money through the death of my childless aunt, enough to be debt free and pay my entire mortgage. My cheating ex girlfriend found out and is demanding half, since my aunt died when we were still living together under common law. She’s getting solicitors involved. FML
Today, my grandmother, who I live with, turned the heat off in our house because she went through my private, personal notes on how I wanted to spend my paycheck, and she was mad that I used some of it to help the father of my not-yet-born child, who's struggling financially, make his car payments. FML
Today, at my grandmother's funeral there was a fight about inheritance. It was my teenage daughters arguing about what they get when I die. FML
Today, it was my wedding day. Midway through the ceremony, my grandma, who's tried to ruin every relationship to date, stood up and shouted that "it ain't right", "you're too good for her", and claimed my fiancée has been cheating on me, before she was finally ejected from the building. FML
Today, I found out my deceased grandmother never liked anything that I bought for her. She would never say anything to not hurt my feelings. The only reason I bought those things in the first place was because growing up she told me that she liked them. Now that she's gone, I'm hearing what she really thought. FML
Today, my grandma reduced me to a sobbing wreck in two short sentences, just to win a bet against my mum. FML

Well done Adam! You know how to edit your comments!

Why are you guys so concerned over a typo? They happen all the time. I'm sure everyone who commented on the typo has made one themselves. There is a bright side. He just has to figure out what that bright side is. There is always a silver lining to everything in life. One must only be able to discover it.

Life is but a learning experience. FYL definitely OP. RIP to grandma but don't let this taint the image or relationship you had with your grandma. It's no good to you to hold resentment towards your late grandma over some money. Substantial amount or not, don't let this be the way you remember her. I'm sure you could try talking to your ex about the situation and try to work something out, if it's truthfully that important to you. And I know I'm going to get some thumb downs because I'm not directly on OPs side, but being more concerned about the money apart from the death of a family member doesn't exactly side with my morals. Blood should be thicker than money. Regardless, like I said, FYL OP, I'm sorry for all your loses.

He completely took out a part about a bright side, was not a typo

gjikvtj, your profile picture is driving me crazy. If I go on a mad killing spree, I'm blaming you.

#24, I agree it should be blood should matter more, when a will favours sometime who treated you, or the deceased badly over yourself, it hurts in a weird way. I've "lost out" in a will to someone manipulative, but the anger was more that the person who died was manipulated and the nasty person benefited. I'd have rathered it was given to a charity or burnt in my situation. Losing out on money sucks when you've lost the person either way, but OP lost out to someone who betrayed him, due to his grandmother preferring her. That's a hell of a betrayal in itself. It's bound to take a while to forgive and forget.

If I broke up with my fiance due to infidelity, and my grandma cut me out of her will in favor of leaving my portion to my cheating ex, I'd be pretty pissed at both of them, and grandma's grave would become my favorite urinal for a while.

That's just ****** up your grandma cared more for your unfaithful ex than you. I don't understand how she could.

That's tough that your own kin would do that to you, yet it sounds like your fiancee was nicer to her than you were when she was alive. Cheating is terrible but I think this is more to do with your relationship with your grandma than it is about your ex's infidelity. I guess the amount of FYL is cancelled by how much YDI; I abstain from voting.

OP specifically states that the whole thing was a surprise, implying that he felt he had no reason to suspect that his grandmother viewed him so poorly.

Not necessarily. Some people dislike others (even their own relatives) based on their choices in life, their appearance or personality. And there's really no way to change that.
