Today, my mom told me that if I wanted to commit suicide, I should make it seem like a car accident, and not do it in the house, because she would be too embarrassed if people thought she was a bad parent. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my mom told me I'm the reason she's going to kill herself one day. FML
Today, I told my mom I loved her and she asked if I was going to kill myself. FML
Today, I wouldn’t let my sister borrow my car, so she told our parents that I’m depressed and threatened to kill myself, which is a lie. My mom is on the phone to 999 trying to get me a 72-hour psychiatric hold in hospital, and every time I say it was a lie, my dad says I’m in typical denial. FML
Today, I was feeling depressed. I overheard my mom crying on the phone. She said, “If my daughter kills herself, who’s going to do the dishes?” FML
Today, my mother is so overdramatic that her response to finding out I lost a friend's book was that I should fake my own death rather than fess up. FML
Today, I was feeling suicidal and needed to talk to someone about it, so I called up the only person in the world who cares about me: my mom. Or so I thought. Her immediate response was, “You should go ahead and end it.” FML
Today, my mom casually told me, "Remember that time we went to build a swing set when you were four? Actually, I was going to hang myself and take you with me so that you didn't suffer in this life. If it wasn't for your Grandma, we wouldn't be here now. And when I took you to the lake… Oh, silly me!" Cool, mom. FML
Today, my mother took a bunch of sleeping pills, then went driving. I followed her and dialed 911. Now she thinks that I was "trying to get her arrested," and she refuses to talk to me ever again. FML
Today, I was in a car accident. When I came home, I told my mom. She just got angry with me, blamed me for it, and didn't even ask if I was OK. FML
Today, I felt suicidal and told my mum I was going to hang myself from my curtain rod. All she cared about was the rod possibly coming loose and damaging the wall. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Ironic how that very statement makes her a bad parent

Especially if he actually IS suicidal. I can't believe any human being could say that to someone, let alone their own child.
SlimDanny 15
Agreed, this is disgusting.
latenerd 11
Agreed that this is disgusting for a parent to say, but talking it over may not help - mom may be beyond help. OP, that sucks. Google "narcissistic mothers" and hang in there, you deserve better.
IvyRizzzzoli 25
Exactly, that's your mom..... The person you go to for stuff like that
FiendHunter 19
Agreed. You combined the two comments before you.

#25 your username makes your statement even more clear.

Nobody should say something like this to anyone, suicide isn't something to joke about
1dvos_grl3 21
Awful joke..
shorty6823 28
As he posted this on FML, I'm gonna say he didn't take it as a joke.
funsizedliz 16
Shouldn't joke about suicide :(
ZombieVampirez 24
Call a hot line and talk to them or suggest going to family therapy. Maybe take a few days and stay somewhere else until you know how to bring it up to your mom. No parent should say that. I have a friend who committed suicide and his mom found him. It's a horrible thing. I'm sorry OP and I hope you and your mom can get the help you need.

What a ****** up mother
xylanthrax 18
kill her instead, make that look like a car crash accident.
Emmamazing 26
Haha you people are violent. But for some reason I love it.
xylanthrax 18
I hear that a lot.
thesmeagol 22
I suggest making use of the ocean over in California, a boating trip with a "slip" overboard could prove fatal.
xylanthrax 18
but boat trips cost a lot.. You don't wanna spend any more money on that bitch.
thesmeagol 22
Thats the beautiful part, she'll pay for it to seem like a good mother.
xylanthrax 18
Yes.. yes.. *evil laughter*

Comment moderated for rule-breaking.
This might be very very unpopular here but there are two sides to every story.. OP might have been suicidal (which will always be cowardly to me) something very very detestful. Sure, what OP's mom said is almost as distasteful but give us your role in the statement, OP.
VeganDarkLight 31
If somebody is seriously suicidal it's statements like that of OP's mom which could push them over the edge. And saying they are coward doesn't make it any better either as they most often already think low of themselves. Also, suicidal people have some real problems whereas OP's mom is only thinking of her image. To me her statement is definitely more distasteful than anything that could be on the other side of the medal.
DoomedGemini 38
I understand that there's two sides to every story, but sometimes people really don't do anything to deserve it. When we were watching a movie where someone was swallowing a lot of pills, my brother looked at me and said "take notes". I didn't say anything to him. And I'm not even starting on the 'cowardly' thing because most people with that view have their head too far up their ass to try empathy.
chosha_fml 27
#80 No matter what the context, she is basically saying she cares more about what people think of her as a parent than she does about her child committing suicide. What other side do you imagine there could be to that?
Invisigirl 7
#103, in another comment branch someone mentioned that OP may have been using suicide to manipulate a situation (e.g. if i don't get an ipad for my birthday, I'll kill myself). His mother's response may have been to dismiss ridiculousness.
Simply_Infinite 12
Well first off that's no way to talk to your child. Secondly, if you are having thoughts like that I suggest you find someone to talk to about it. That definitely is not the solution, no matter what your insensitive mother says. Stay strong OP.

Sometimes talking about it doesn't help
dontmindme7 9
yea it does, helps you see the problem in a whole you perspective
Aimeejasmine 15
Oh shut up you're not in their position telling someone to just talk it out won't help. And neither will disagreeing with someone when they tell you it's not that simple, makes you seem ignorant and close minded.
xylanthrax 18
Woah, sometimes talking about it does help. It just doesn't solve the issue. Maybe if you talk to someone they can get you to a professional.
rockninja 21
or at leadt the weighing last would be gone from the shoulders.
Invisigirl 7
i cab honestly say someone's talking just makes the thoughts stronger
demonddm 24
next time it comes up just say "no mom i am homicidal not suicidal"
Purexinsanity 46
Does she speak without thinking or is she just in denial about her parenting?
thebakingseal 22
Not related to your response, but can I just say that your dog is adorable!
HoboRain 16
your mom kinda sounds like an ass
JustinJK 21
She sounds like a great mother. mother of the hear award should be hers!
VeganVampyre 27
What about mother of the see award? Also, if you're going to go the sarcasm route you'll have to do a much better job of it. ... At least I hope that's what you were attempting, because if you're serious... I can't even think about it.
