Today, my mom's will was read to the rest of the family. I helped my mom write it a couple years ago, and I was to get funds to pay off school loans. She revised it and put in a note saying I was to get nothing because I was "lazy." The executor read it out loud. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, at the reading of my mother's last will and testament, I found out that despite having cared for her for the final years of her life, she denied me an inheritance. She basically said I'm an embarrassment, because when she wrote it, I was 31 years-old, with no wife or children. FML
Today, I attended the reading of my grandfather's last will and testament. My parents, as well as my brothers and sister, all inherited a nice sum of money. I got 69 cents, because, "young Jack always was an immature little shit." FML
Today, I told my mom I wasn't doing very good mentally and I was looking for some support. She decided to remind me of all of the things I still haven't paid her back for. I'm now an unpaid loan, not her daughter. FML
Today, at lunch with my mother, she disclosed that she made some changes to her will. Instead of the previous even split to all siblings, 90% of the sizable estate will now go to my brother. He has already been living off my mother's property for the last 10 years, and reaping the benefits of being expense free. FML
Today, I was at the reading of my grandma's will. Apparently I was removed from it some time ago, and the £2,500 I would have gotten went to my cheating bitch of an ex-fiancée. It seems my grandma adored her, and never forgave me for "driving her away" from the family. FML
Today, my mom cleaned out my bank account, saying my "no-good dad" owes her child support and that she'll get it one way or another. FML
Today, I was granted a donation to pay for a creative writing course. When I told my mom she couldn't even muster a smile. She found her excitement later, however, when she posted how proud she was of me on Facebook. I can only get praise through my mom attention-whoring on social media. FML
Today, my mother found out I published a book. She demanded that I pay her all my royalties as repayment for her raising me. FML
Today, my mom told me I was a bad daughter because I didn't get anything for my parents' anniversary. I just sent my brother a check for $400 for my share of their gift. FML
Today, my mom shoved a document for me to sign. It's pretty much my will, leaving everything to her boyfriend/fiancé's 11 year-old son, who is a bratty hell spawn of Satan. Before I could say anything, she said not to bother leaving anything to my adopted daughter, because she said if I die, she's going with me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

your mom's a b*tch. piss on her grave. she didn't even have the decency to be open with you about her feelings, which could have led to a mutual understanding of each other's beliefs and values. no, instead she acted behind your back, and let your entire family know without any regard for you. that's immature, spiteful, malicious and the indications of a bad person. personally, i respect that other people's opinions on gay rights differ, and people have a right to their opinions, but the way she dealt with the difference in opinion is messed. what an awful mother.

#65 People do not choose their sexual orientation, it's their lifestyle that they choose. You cannot help if you are attracted to another person of the same gender. However, you CAN help the way you behave due to that attraction. It is up to the individual whether they believe it's right to act on the attraction or suppress it and pretend to be heterosexual.

Are you sure your mom was the only person who knew? You know there's thing where people can talk to each other and share information when you're not around, right? Before you go hating your mom for eternity, I'd first assume that she told any number of people over the years about your sexual preference, and one of them decided to use that against you after she died so they could get your money. It's not like that never happens.

God made Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve... YDI for being gay. Being gay is probably just a disorder in which the body is either producing too much testosterone (women) or not enough (men) just give a shot of testosterone to men they'll go straight.

"Just as he has the right to choose his sexual orientation, his mother has the right to have an opinion on it." No one chooses their sexual orientation. It is by no means a choice; you are the way you are, and there is nothing to be done about it. Don't act as though the OP had a choice whether to be gay or not, because he didn't.

That's so terrible, I am so sorry. You're a good person, and things will work out in the end :)

#65: No, people don't choose their sexual orientation. Did you choose to be straight? My guess is no. Stop being deliberately ignorant. OP: That's a really shitty situation. I hope you're able to get the closure you need and get past the betrayal, which I imagine is more painful than the money situation to cope with.

First of all #46, Pharmacyst, I think your response is totally appalling and hateful in sentiment. TSampson, I wonder if your mother thanked you for helping her draft the Will? Not an easy document to write at the best of times and for a child to help a parent - I think it's quite an undertaking on your part. Did other members of your family help out with the Will? It's a fair assumption that your mother knew you had confided in her about being gay, why else make a point of stating this as the sole reason for disinheritance? Why mention it at all? It beggars belief. It sounds as if she was trying to deliberately shame you in front of the family without having the guts to talk to you about it first. Not very loving or understanding! She broke your trust in a truly shocking manner when you are starting out in life and needing emotional/financial support. I can only hope that the wounds will heal and that other members of your family are not being disrespectful/hateful towards you as a result of the disclosure. I also hope that finances will be forthcoming so that you can settle any educational loans. I experienced far more abuse within the family than I ever did outside of it. I severed all ties and I've never regretted it for one moment. Spend time with those who show you love and respect. Peace.

#74 is a **** too. #86 is great, because they made me laugh my arse off. A shot of testosterone and you're straight? Oh my love, if it's that easy why haven't you had the treatment yet? =D
