Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

Today, I was stuck on a campus tour with my subtly racist mother who, in an attempt to seem open-minded, deemed it appropriate to refer to our black tour guide as "Sistah". FML

Today, I let my step-father know exactly what I thought of him. After a few moments of awkward silence, he leaned towards me and quietly whispered, "Well you're adopted. Your parents never loved you." FML

All you need is hate
Today, my stepmother started talking to me after a month of the silent treatment. When I asked her what I had done wrong, she replied, "Nothing, but do you know that feeling when you look at someone and you just want to choke them?" FML

Keeping up
Today, I found out that my mother has been telling everybody that I’m a lesbian, because both of her best friends have at least one gay child each, and she was feeling left out. This explains why people have been treating me differently the last few weeks. FML

Turn the other cheek

Your stepmother went black, she will never go back

File and if that person is really your friend then he would understand that it's your stepmom that is the rude one not you. Hopefully you can have a talk with your stepmother so she understands what she did and helps you mend your friendship.

what an ignorant bitch. maybe msg him and apologise, and explain that although she has these horrible views, you don't (which you mustn't, as you wouldn't have made this fml if it didn't shock and upset you) good luck and I hope your friend talks to you and you can work this out. using racial slurs is unforgivable but I hope your friend realises that you had nothing to do with what your stepmother said.

Nothing is "unforgivable" and especially not name calling. Grow up. Was it wrong, sure, but unforgivable? No.

I'd ******* slap her. That is a horrible thing to say. But why is your friend not talking to YOU?

being straight or christian is really irrelevant in this instance

What does being straight and Christian have to do with this? If she were gay and a Buddhist then it would still be totally unnecessary. Go back to Tumblr with that stuff

Really? She's straight? Yeah, right.

I'm as white as they come and say n***a all the time even around my black friends. There's nothing rude or disrespectful about it. It's all about context. Look at all these perpetually offended SJW's here degrading her simply for being awkward. Grow up and quit being *******.

Time to distance yourself from your step-mom and have a real talk with your friend. If he's really you're friend he'll understand.
