Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

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

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

I don't see how this is exactly a fml moment for you OP. I can see it being a FML if your family is religious / against divorce or you didn't want them to divorce. Need some more details because this was about the celebration part that is ******* with your life. Did something happen during the celebration? There are reasons why your grandmother divorced your grandfather. Why not let her celebrate instead of choosing to still be upset with whatever went wrong that caused her to make that choice? I think that is a better alternative to negative feelings but everyone is different.
