Today, my sister-in-law was diagnosed with breast cancer. My mother then confided in me that she suspected it was a prank to get more money from our family. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my mother told my little sister and me that she has breast cancer to make us feel sorry so that we would clean our rooms. She is perfectly fine. My little sister still thinks that "mommy is going to die". FML
Today, we found out my mother-in-law faked her terminal cancer diagnosis to guilt us into getting pregnant, so she could meet her first grand baby “before it's too late.” In no way can we afford this baby, we are already poor, so this will ruin us financially, yet she’s perfectly healthy. FML
Today, I found out that my mother, who's been against me seeking treatment for my cancer, has been going to different churches and charities to get donations for her "poor ailing daughter." I've not seen a dime of this money, and my mom just tells me to pray my cancer away. FML
Today, my mom came into my room, yelling at me about a pregnancy test that she found in my bathroom. My mom wouldn't believe me when I said it wasn't mine. Turns out my sister bought the test, threw it under my bathroom cabinet, and now she won't admit to the prank. She thinks this is hilarious. FML
Today, my sister called me at work and told me our elderly mom had passed away. I dropped everything and rushed home, to find out she was fine, and that my sister was just pranking me. When I explained this to my boss, he accused me of lying to get out of work, and I was fired. FML
Today, my mother in law basically said I deserve my breast cancer, all because I declined to take part in one of her "March Against Cancer" events a while ago. I guess donating money to cancer research instead of going on a meaningless march really messed up my karma. FML
Today, my friend (she's 14) said she had lung cancer. This made me and my other friend very worried for her, but now we know she was faking it since when she was "at the hospital" she was at a friend's house, and her mom came to the school to confirm she was faking the whole thing. FML
Today, my sisters and I pitched together nearly $500 to send my mom to the spa for Mother's Day. We put the printed sheet with her info into a little box with our card on top. When she opened it, she freaked out and started hugging my dad. Turns out he switched the cards and took all the credit. FML
Today, my housemate revealed her supposed loss of function of her arm was all a lie. I spent hours in the ER with her and had to go to work the next day. Last time she lied about cancer. I'm stuck sharing with her for another 7 months. FML
Today, we buried my mom. I walked past my sister's husband just in time to hear him mutter: "Hope the fire's nice and hot down there, you old hag." I told my sister. She wouldn't believe me and accused me of trying to start drama. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

She should definitely kill herself because she is a horrible person and adds nothing to this world but hatred

Telling her to kill herself over this? Are you serious? If every person who had accused someone of being a gold digger killed themself, we would lose a pretty good amount of the world population.

I'd like to think of it as 'population control'.

Exactly 31 and its nut that she accused her of gold digging it's because she said it due to cancer

Sounds fishy to me. Your sister-in-law probably wants a new phone and a purse. Your mom ought to feel them boobies to see for herself.

Or photograph them.

I honestly don't think she'd be selfish enough to get money from you that way.

"More money"? Where did that come from? If your sister-in-law is lying, that's a new kind of low but who would do that? I think your mom just doesn't like her and is plotting craziness to it.

Breast cancer truly is one of the most horrible things ever. Seriously, anything that affects boobies in a negative way needs to be eradicated! Come on, cancer researchers! Save the boobies!

I thumbed you up, because I also enjoy boobies, but saving the person and not just the boobies is what matters. I know a few women who have had mastectomies due to cancer and thankfully they're alive because of it. Also props to all the male breast cancer survivors.

Boobies!! Big or small I love them all!

Grimmerie - I PERFORM mastectomies for women (and a few men) with breast cancer. Trust me, I know all about it.

You're a true hero, Doc.

I'm guessing favorites run in the family...

I refuse to trash talk your mother-it's inappropriate. I wish for the best & a speedy, healthy recovery for your sister-in-law

Those saying that "no one would ever lie about having cancer!" clearly haven't been on FML for very long. Perhaps OP's mom has read a few too many FMLs and it's now making her paranoid.

I hope your sister conquers cancer. What a bad mother,
CuriousAlien 7
Well people are crazy enough to fake shit just to get money. Your mom seems really mean for even thinking that, but at the same time, has your sister faked things before? If not, then I hope she gets well!
