Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my mother is mad at me for deleting my Facebook account. I actually deleted the account because I'd had enough of putting up with her criticizing comments on every Facebook post I made. FML
Today, my mother refused to talk to me because I wouldn't let her use my deodorant stick. FML
Today, my mom got angry that I wasn't responding to her texts. I couldn't because I was in the dentist's chair. She'd dropped me off, and after returning from errands, sent the text from the waiting room. FML

Today, my mom chewed me out, because my brother has been complaining to her that I don't talk to him anymore since moving out. We've never talked much, even when we were sharing a place! FML
Today, I said a few words to my mom that happened to be similar to something offensive, and she misheard. I tried to tell her, but she was so angry that she assumed I was saying more offensive things. Now she is punishing everybody in the house, and I’m not allowed to speak to her. FML
Today, my mom took my cell to work with her. When she got home later, she scolded me for not answering her calls. When I pointed out that she'd taken it, she grounded me for "talking back". FML

Today, my fiancé told my mom that she screwed me up. I now have to write an apologetic e-mail to her for something that I agree with, in order for her to stop calling me crying. FML

"Dear, Ellen. My mother is so obsessed with you, that she is ignoring her offspring, simply because I won't send you a letter. So here is my letter, please allow me on your show without my mom. Ps I think you're great. Love, OP"

"Hi Ellen. No one in my family is dying and I am not asking for a big check for $10,000. I'm just writing to you because my mother is a drama queen and refuses to speak to me until I do."

I was gonna say just write what she wants but her not talking to you is a huge over reaction

I agree, I don't think my Mom needs to be institutionalized but she does take the nicest rejections and turns it into the worst thing I could've possibly done. It's brutal!

Your mother needs a life. Unless she's a celebrity, possesses unique skills, or is some leader of a renowned organization, she's understandably not interested in them. Ellen is too busy to have people's parents on the show.
