Today, my mother informed me that we are no longer taking my graduation trip to New York. Instead, she and her group of continuously drunk friends are going to Vegas because, "We could win the jackpot and take you on an even bigger trip to New York!" She's never won anything in her whole life. FML
Collection
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 the night before our school trip that I’m not going so she could get a refund. Now I have to stay alone with my mom for a week, while my friends are having the time of their life in NYC. FML
Today, I read my mom's Facebook status. It said, "So sick of kids, can't wait for Vegas this week!" My dad, along with 12 others, liked it. I didn't even know she was going to Vegas. FML
Today, I lent my sister $1000 because she and her husband were in some debt. They used the money to go gambling in Vegas and won a major jackpot. They won't even give me a cut. FML
Today, my grandmother's excuse for not going to my college graduation was because she'd already bought her bingo card. FML
Today, after being accepted into the college of my dreams, I found out that my mom has spent all my college savings on alcohol over the years, and she says that it's my fault for not "helping her get help." FML
Today, my mother "borrowed" money from my stash to help pay for her vacation to the Dominican Republic. The same trip I'm not allowed to go on. FML
Today, my husband and I had to cancel our family Disney World trip because my mom stole and gambled away all of our spending money. Our kids are still crying and throwing tantrums and don't understand why we can't afford to go anymore. FML
Today, my dad came home from Vegas. Today, my college savings account is down by $64,000. FML
Today, my mother told me that I could take a friend on vacation with us. Then she added that because I have no friends, my brother can bring his girlfriend instead. FML
Today, after telling my mom that I'll be going to Las Vegas with my dad for my 21st birthday, she started ranting about how my dad always wanted to abort me and that she was the only one who actually wanted me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Hopefully she'll forget this idea when she sobers up. I mean, I hope she's drunk. This is not a rational idea.

Ironically, you are getting a degree in statistics & probability, yet you can't convince your mom she'll lose all her money in Lost Wages, NV.

Hopefully she will come to her senses and take you on that trip to New York! It's a really nice place here!

I'm sorry OP. That must hurt. It's sad that your mother seems to be prioritizing having fun with her friends over holding her promise. Funny part I feel like she knows it's messed up but is trying to justify it in her head by thinking she could win it big and make it up to you. Maybe you could get a group of friends together who could all chip in and ya'll could go together instead. It might even be more fun that way anyway
