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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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?

Because good parents make sure to teach their children how to commit suicide properly. FYL, OP

First of all, suicide is never the answer, call one of the help lines, go join a group, talk to your friends. Also go buy a few scratch tickets just for the hell of it.

Are you suicidal OP? Please don't do it! Many many people care about you and suicide is not the answer. Take it from me...I swallowed an entire bottle of pills to try to end my life. I ended up getting incredibly sick and had to be rushed to the emergency room. As I sat there having doctors and nurses try to save me, I realized I didn't want to die. I just needed help and someone to talk to. Luckily it wasn't too late for me. Please go get help and find someone to talk to. You can always message me if you need to talk. If you comment back I will give you my real email address and we can talk anytime.

I'm so glad that you made it. That is incredibly sweet of you to reach out to OP that way, also. I hope that you go far in life, I truly do. You were obviously meant to be here, perhaps you're meant to help others who might be hurting like yourself and OP. Good luck, and take care!

Wow, she wanted to not be a bad parent but that statement made her one.

I'm pretty sure she was probably just joking. Though as a mother, she still shouldn't say things like that.

I lost my grandfather to suicide today and I can tell you firsthand the amount of grief and overwhelming sadness my family is facing. OP if you really are facing thoughts like that I would strongly recommend getting help and leaving a situation that encourages you to harm yourself.

This makes me so sad to hear. And how awful is it that not only does she not realize how utterly cruel that is to say to a person, more so to your own child, but she also doesn't see how saying that makes her a bad parent, which she apparently would be trying to avoid the appearance of in such a tragic event. I'm so sorry to hear that you were told such insulting things - don't ever forget that what other people say doesn't define you as a person, which may sound cheesy but is entirely true

your Mom sounds like she needs some Serious therapy, Im so sorry that she ever said those hurtful words, I don't think she deserves to have children... just my opinion.If that thought has ever entered your head, please PLEASE go talk to someone, anyone but your Mom.
