Today, my mother told me I should think about quitting school. She explained that the reason was because she didn't want me to be more successful than my older sisters. 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 that she doesn't want me to help any of my friends get a job at the restaurant I work at. Apparently, she thinks that they would do a better job than me and get me fired. FML
Today, once again, my mom ranted about how she sacrificed so much for me by moving to a better city. I said it was for my education and to stop making me feel like a burden. She scoffed, "Right, you never should've been born. My mistake." FML
Today, my mom told me I'm the reason she's going to kill herself one day. FML
Today, my mother won't let me intern at a prestigious college, working with graduate students and professors, and being paid, because she doesn't want to drive me. FML
Today, after having spent years staying in school, working hard to achieve good grades, and avoiding all the bad kids, my mom accused me of having no direction in life and complained about how I haven't given her a grandchild yet. I'm 19. FML
Today, I dropped out of college and moved back home to help my mom take care of my younger siblings after our father's death. My mom yelled at me and scolded me and lectured me for throwing my life away, and said this was the last thing she ever wanted me to do. I thought she needed help. FML
Today, my mother told me she's disappointed in me for not going to a better college, and that if I was in the top ten of my class that the rest of those ten must be really dumb. Fact is, I threw away the acceptance letters to Carnegie Mellon and Cornell because I didn't want her to have to pay. FML
Today, my mom said if I don't get straight As in my classes this year, she'll get the school to hold me back until I do. I believe her. FML
Today, my mom is obsessed with my academic success, as she was a highschool dropout, and actually gives me more homework than my school does, all so I’ll be more advanced than my peers. I barely know what a television is anymore, since it’s been so long I’ve had enough free time to watch one. FML
Today, I found out that my mother has been purposely wrecking every relationship I've had since junior high because ''no one is good enough for her little girl''. FML

Don't listen to her... You are your own person. Is she going to pay all your bills & expenses?

you have the sort of mother that tries to live through her children, because her life probably sucks so much, she pushes your sisters as hard as she can to be the best they can be but there must be something different about you (either physically or otherwise) that doesn't appeal to her pathetic, vicarious, narcissistic ego. this is the part where you tie your mother to the ceiling fan, slit her throat and watch the dust fall out.

OMG! I know exactly what that's like! As soon as I started my business, my dad was like "Well, you still need a job." WTF?

Don't let your mom keep you for doing what you love. She's nothing but a bitch. If she can't handle you as much more successful than your sisters, you should probably move far, far away from her. She is a bad influence to you. >:( P.S. Keep following your Dreams. You'll definitely make it. ;)
