A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

Today, I attended a family reunion, during which my grandma gave me "relationship advice" in front of everyone. She's been married five times, and her longest marriage lasted a whole 6 months. FML

Go away
Today, the day after my grandfather's funeral, my grandmother informed me I have 30 days to move out. I've been living with them for four years, helping take care of my sick grandfather. She's already changed the locks and won't unlock the door. FML

Today, my family flew out to surprise my grandma for her 70th birthday. When we arrived, she and my grandpa were both sitting on the couch, high, smoking a joint. FML

Today, during a family reunion, my 89 year-old grandma stood up and drunkenly made a speech about how ashamed I should be of myself for still being single. She then passed out at the table. Half my family got up to help her, the other half whispered in agreement. FML

Drama alert
Today, I went to visit my grandparents, as my grandmother may not have long left. When my stepfather wasn't grilling my visibly uncomfortable grandad about Bible passages, my mother was trauma-dumping about how hard her life has been, and how awful her marriage to my father was. They're his parents. FML

Never too late to be happy I guess

Just because you're old doesn't mean you lose the concept of what/who makes you happy

70 is the new 40.

Wow a drop of 30 years?? So is 40 like the new 10?

She's about 20-30 years late with this. There's not enough guys around her age to date and they're mostly dead, literally. Haha, stupid move grandma. Well, as long as she's happy I guess.

My twice widowed great-grandmother remarried in her eighties. Don't be so close-minded, Olpally.

in our society there's such a pressure of finding a new partner. it's sick, when you think about it. if OP's grandma wants to divorce bc she's not happy anymore, good for her! but all that pressure into immeadiately having to go on the hunt for a new man... smh. if she finds someone new, good! point is, she freed herself (and ex husband) from an unhappy situation.

Not necessarily anyone, she could have just not been happy.

This reminds me of a joke I heard a long time ago. "When asked why they were divorcing after 70 years of marriage, the elderly couple flatly responded, 'We were just waiting for the kids to die'. " I guess jokes wernt as funny back then.

Man, I dunno. My grandmother finally divorced my cheating, abusive grandfather when she was in her 60s and I don't blame her (though they're both gone now). He was an incredibly successful car dealer, she had no skills or retirement of her own because they'd gotten married right out of high school, and up until he died he still went back to court every single year to try to get her alimony reduced. So I couldn't judge her without knowing a lot more, but either way, dude/lady, not only do I not see how this makes your life suck, I don't see how it even AFFECTS you.

Divorce usually affects everyone in the family.

i think it's the shock of the announcement

It's upsetting but they may be happier apart OP. I guess that's the best way of dealing with it.

Well, why should two people stay together if they're not happy? No matter what age they are.

(Leaving this fml out of it..) Divorce should only be done in extreme cases. People should try working it out first.

They probably worked on it for 50 years. That's long enough.
