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

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

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."

OP, you should get on the Jehovah's Witness Protection Program. Tell your mom you've decided to leave her cult and become a Roman Catholic.

I am a Jehovah's Witness. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH GOING TO COLLEGE. Before you guys start talking crap about us, do your research...

People are so narrow minded. Find out what we believe before making a decision. I bet 90% of the people on here can't tell us anything about our religion without googling it first.

Exactly! And when we try to explain all they can do is call us cheap by following the Bible and not celebrating birthdays or christmas

On the bright side you must be over 18 so it doesn't really matter what she wants when it comes to your future. Sorry you have to deal with that though.

so I find it surpirsing how ignorant all you people who put such a huge emphasis on education are. I was raised a Jehovah's Witness and though i did not stay in the religion my mom still is and my dads side except for my dad are Witnesses and half of my siblings are and they encourage all of us kids to go to college i didnt go but that is cause i choose to marry a Marine and have a family and stay at home and no not all people are shunned you idiots my family still talks to us and they invite us to dinner and what not all of the time. In fact they help me buy things for my husband's care packages since he's deployed and even though they dont agree with the war and what he is doing they do respect him as my husband and a part of the family. Yes there are people who are extemist but my husband has family who are catholic and extremist so there's that kind of people everywhere who take things to far. And just like i tell my husband you wanna talk shit about something then go sit your ass down learn about it and then talk your shit, if you dont know what you're talking about then keep your mouths shut cause maybe its annoying to have people come knock on your door talking about their beliefs but what i find more annoying is people talking shit when they dont know anythingabout the subject. How about you save yourselves the embarassment of sounding stupid and just keep your mouths shut.

Judging from the quality of your statement and the terrible spelling, I would say that people are pretty right about the need for education. Also, you cant tell people that they are stupid and that they should shut up because they dont know anything, when you dont know any of those people yourself. In before, your whole point is retarded. People have a right for an opinion, even if you dont like it. And the fact in this FML is that the stupid mother doesnt want her daughter to learn science, and what a coincidence, that stupid mother happens to be from a religion that doesnt recognize science as a fact.

Viperex 1. Facts that are wrong cannot be disguised as opinions and called fine. 2. You made yourself sound stupid trying to bash this person's comment.

Hey viperex if your gonna insult me then do it right you nitwit my grammar may not be the best but the spelling is fine you idiot, what just cause i misspelled surprising and extremist all of a sudden i cant spell o wow so how about you go back to school and learn your shit before you try and judge people and how can you defend about having an opinion if your critcizing me for having one, gosh can people as stupid as you really exist in this world damn no wonder this world is going to shit and listen dumb ass I'll write it in big letters so that maybe you might understand J E H O V A H' S W I T N E S S D O B E L I E V E I N S C I E N C E j U S T N O T T H E T H E O R Y O F E V O L U T I O N I know its probably too much for your little brain to take so don't hurt yourself trying to understand all of this
