Today, my mom called me by her favorite TV show character's name. Again. This is the eighth time this week. I'm an only child, and I'm 15. I thought she had my name down pat by now. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my mom called me by the wrong name. This isn't the first time. It wouldn't be so bad, except I'm her only kid. FML
Today, my four-year-old daughter called me by her mom's new boyfriend's name. Three different times. FML
Today, I heard someone calling my name. It was my neighbor. Turns out they named their dogs after my mother, my sister, and me. FML
Today, my mom struggled tried to say my name. She said my brother's name, my sister's, my dad's, my uncle's, and finally my cat's (who doesn't even have a human name) before she gave up and said, "You!" and pointed at me. FML
Today, my phone rang for the first time in four days. It was my mom. She dialed the wrong number. FML
Today, my boyfriend called me by his mother's name for the 100th time. I'm a guy. FML
Today, I had another phone call with my mother; she has rapid onset dementia, and never gets my name right anymore. Already terrible, but she consistently calls me by my abusive ex-partner’s name instead of my own, so I get double trauma. Obviously F her life, but also FML
Today, an old friend of my mom's yelled at me for "ignoring" her. I wasn't responding because she was getting my name wrong, so I assumed she was referring to someone else. FML
Today, my dad called my by the family dog's name, and stared at me blankly as if struggling to remember my name when I was annoyed. FML
Today, I called my mother to say hi. She spent a whole hour and a half complaining about how I never call her, bawling and calling me "a waste of human flesh." I call her at least once a week. FML

Question her motives. Maybe it's a subtle hint to something?

It's ok, my mom calls me a crap load of different names. For example, my aunt's, my ***male**** dog's, and many others.

No my computer froze and didn't show the comment for a while so I resubmitted it. Believe me as soon as they both showed up I kept trying to delete the second one but the ap won't let me. It's just one of those days that even a Walking Dead reference can't salvage. : /
