Today, I was showing my step-dad old photos of the family. We got to a picture of me and I mentioned how much weight I've lost. He muttered, "Heh, fat AND blind". FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my son was looking through old photos and showed me a picture of myself and asked who it was. When I told him it was me, he responded by saying "But mommy, the lady in the picture is not fat!" FML
Today, when my mother-in-law told me I was losing weight, my husband started laughing. FML
Today, my drunk dad told me I'm smart enough that any guy could overlook the fact that I'm fat, but not smart enough that they could overlook how ugly I am. Gee, thanks. FML
Today, I met my boyfriend's mother for the first time. She has early onset dementia, butt was a pretty OK day. All was going well until she looked at her son and said he was skinny, which admittedly he is quite skinny, but then looked me dead in the eye and said, "You need to lose weight." FML
Today, I proudly told my family I lost 15 pounds. My dad looked me up and down and said, "Well, you've got a looooong way to go." FML
Today, I was video chatting with my dad. He handed the phone to his wife, whose first words out of her mouth were, "Why are you getting so skinny?" This was also the same woman whose first words out of her mouth when they came to visit us 3 years ago was how much weight I've gained. FML
Today, I went to my parents' house. I recently lost about 30 lbs. My mom hugged me and said, "Aww, you're not my chubby baby girl anymore." She then said she wished I were still fat because she missed it. She's the reason I lost the weight; she used to tease and taunt me. Thanks Mom. FML
Today, I saw my uncle after six months. The first thing he says to me is, 'I didn't even recognize you! You've gained so much weight.' Gee thanks uncle. Just what I wanted to hear. FML
Today, I went to a family funeral. Talking to my grandfather, trying to chitchat, he said, "You're gaining weight, aren't you?" FML
Today, my granddaddy called me with the sole purpose of letting me know that I’ve gotten so fat, he doesn’t even recognize me anymore. I’ve been silently suffering with a health condition that causes major weight gain. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

That is very disrespectful of him. You should tell someone you trust how you feel and get it sorted out. Good luck OP.

Ugh, why can't step-parents ever be nice? I'm glad my mom never married again after divorcing my dad when I was little.

step parents can be wonderful parents, however if you want uplifting stories of amazing blended families FML is not really the best place to look.

also to add to the poster above me... life events are like customer reviews. 90% of what you hear isn't going to be nice. people don't walk up to the first friend they see and go "OMG can you believe what just happened to me? I had great service!" Instead they wait for it to come up in conversation and go "oh yeah I get great service there." so in life people aren't going to go up to someone or post "My step parent is amazing they teach me great life lessons" they are more likely to post "ugh my step parent did [insert act here]" then everyone else goes "omg step parents are evil." my boyfriends parents divorced and he is still mad about it but there is no denying his step father is a fantastic role model for him, ALONG or as a SUPPLEMENT to his father. They aren't all bad, sometimes the parent makes bad choices and chooses someone that isn't a good fit, or they dont seek help for how to transition their family so problems arise when it comes to the step parents authority, lack of respect, etc.

that was just mean that he didn't acknowledge that you did lose weight.

If he didn't notice the weight loss perhaps he is the blind one

Really? You had to go and steal someone else's Fml? That's really sad.
