Today, my mum yelled at me for wanting to apply to university courses that she doesn't approve of. I'm applying for Biomedical Sciences and Microbiology, she's an unemployed Jehovah's Witness. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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, my mom yelled at me because I refused to lend her money. The reason I won't lend her money? The last time I did, she and my dad went out and bought a Macbook and a new car instead of paying bills. Apparently, I'm being 'selfish' by keeping my own money and putting it towards university. FML
Today, I found out my mom has been stealing from me to pay for Scientology courses. FML
Today, my mum decided that me being bisexual meant that I was "deciding whether or not to be a lesbian" because supposedly, no man will have me. Thanks mum. FML
Today, I got an offer to study at a good university. My father has been pushing me to apply for years, so I ecstatically broke the news. Instead of congratulating me, he just grunted and delivered the more important news that he's divorcing my mum. Moment ruined. FML
Today, as I was brushing my teeth, I heard my mum praying to God to help her "get rid of such a stupid child". I have no idea what I've done wrong, and she's refused to talk to me all day. FML
Today, my dad refused to sign a student finance form to allow me to study my dream subject at university because he doesn't want the government knowing his business. FML
Today, my aunt asked me to change my major to a program I’m not interested in so her depressed son, my cousin, could have a study buddy. I’m in my last year of university and have been accepted to a master’s program. FML
Today, my mum thought it would be acceptable to tell my school that the reason I will not be attending classes is because I have "the shits." FML
Today, my mom bitched me out and threatened to send me to a Bible camp, after catching me admiring a photo of a bikini model, which is apparently "immoral behavior." This is the same woman who cheated on my dad twice, justifying it by claiming the Devil tempted her. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

And when she is asked what she does in her adult life, she will respond saying, "I walk around to people's houses and annoy people."

Im sorry but I read not even half of the comments. I'm very hurt by some of the comments and confused by others. As one of Jehovahs witnesses we believe that secular work won't make you truly happy. But if you choose its up to you. Some parents may be upset that you choose that way but that depends on your parent not ALL Jehovahs witnesses. And my mom is disfellowshiped and I talk to her all the time and still visit her. And please don't rely on what's said on the internet about Jehovahs witnesses, its usually false. If you really want to know as a Jehovahs witness otherwise you shouldn't talk as if you know what its like to be a Jehovahs witness. I don't mean to be rude but some of these comments make me realize why I love and will always remain a Jehovahs witness. Theres just to much hate.

That sucks for you, OP. But it's good that you're doing something you want and not being forced into doing something that you don't. On another note - while I'm not against any religion, unless it's something really bad (like, promotes bad stuff) - I am kind of glad that my family are not JWs. I'm not sure whether what I'm doing would have been approved or not - but - based on things I've read here - I'm not sure I'd be able to survive in that religion. They don't seem to doorknock in my area much anymore though.

Wow - more than 200 comments on a religion FML and the mods haven't shut it down yet. Either you lot are getting more mature, or the mods are being unusually tolerant for some reason.

In British English, it is spelt Mum. In American English, it is spelt Mom.

That totally sucks. Go for it though. Maybe we'd end up working together someday. Good luck :)

198- Im sorry! Really I am cause I know people get annoyed by it but we have limited territories and we forget how many times we come by. But I don't go back to a dorr when I know they are not interested. Uhm the reason we come by so many times is because well others don't tell us when or if they already went to that specific door so we just go just in case. Even though I have said numerous times I'm one of Jehovahs witnesses I still get other Jehovahs witnesses coming to my door.
