Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

Today, in front of the entire family, I yelled at my mom and told her she wasn't a good parent. She responded with, "Well, at least I had friends when I was your age." FML

Today, I overheard my mom talking to a friend on the phone. What caught my attention was when she said, "You ever look at your kid and just think... 'Fuck. Where'd I go wrong?'" FML

Today, feeling very self-conscious about my looks, I told my mom I felt ugly and wished I could be as beautiful as her. She only said, "Yeah, I'm pretty, I wonder what happened to you." FML

Today, I came home crying and informed my mother that someone had called me a 'fat bitch' today. She held me at arms length, looked me straight in the eyes, and lovingly said, "You can't change who you are." FML

Today, my mother screamed at me for the millionth time for “giving her a dirty look” as if I could see my own face. I’m just tired. I just wish people would pay attention to my words and not my face. FML
have no mom
San Diego, United States
Thanks for the reminder
Today, I was comforting my friend who has a toxic relationship with her Mom. She said, "If I'm such a failure, they always make it known that I can't live up to their expectations." It caught me a bit off guard when she said, "I wish she would just leave me alone and leave my life just like your mom did." FML

There is absolutely no excuse for telling your kids that. My mom told my sister, "Sometime I wish I hadn't married your father." You realize you're telling that to someone whose existence is based on that union, right?

I'm gonna have to call bullshit on that "no excuse" statement. I can think of three off the top of my head and five more popped to mind as I read this. 1. What if mum really did fail? What if she's a drug addict, abusive, dates paedophiles, etc.? Not relevant here maybe but certainly an exception to the no excuse thing. 2. What if OP fails hard? Maybe right before mum said it she caught OP stealing the family's rent money - again - to buy meth and mum feels she guilty. 3. Less dark but what if OP is 40, jobless by choice, and an everything dropout who lives with mummy? P.S. I told my kid that I sometimes regret moving to this country but at least something good came of it. Your mum is human and will sometimes wonder about her what ifs. Stop taking it personally; she said sometimes, right?

Maybe OP is an active participant of Occupy Waikato.

I don't think You gave us enough info OP to comment. There has to be more?! Maybe Your mom did fail. Maybe you did something your not telling us about and deserved it.

Do you have any siblings? Maybe she was talkin bout them....if not your mom probably isn't your biggest fan.

Just agree with her. "Yes, you have completely failed as a mother. You are a terrible mother." She might think twice about her words.
