Today, things got so bad with my mother-in-law that I seriously considered faking my entire family's deaths to escape it all. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I actually thought of faking my own death to get away from my girlfriend and her insane, overbearing family. FML
Today, I spent two hours researching ways to fake my death, just so I can escape my crazy, overbearing stalker of a mum. FML
Today, my mother is so overdramatic that her response to finding out I lost a friend's book was that I should fake my own death rather than fess up. FML
Today, my mother-in-law confessed that for the longest time, she had fantasies about killing me for "ruining" her daughter's life, basically because I'm not wealthy enough for my mother-in-law's standards. She made sure to let me know the situation hasn't changed at all. FML
Today, my mother-in-law tried to "accidentally" run me over. FML
Today, my husband told me that he's letting his mother move in with us. He told her it was alright without even consulting me first. I hate my mother-in-law so much that I'm contemplating divorce rather than living with her. FML
Today, my hateful mother-in-law showed up unexpectedly. I faked taking a phone call so the bitter old hag would leave me alone. She then pulled out her phone, called my number, and glared at me as my phone rang against my ear. FML
Today, I visited my in-laws, whom I thought I was on great terms with. I soon learned that wasn't the case when my mother-in-law yelled at me about how I've been abusing her for years. Ten minutes later, she hugged me and asked me for grandkids. FML
Today, I had to warn my wife not to kill her insane mother. I was serious. FML
Today, my mom told me that if I wanted to commit suicide, I should make it seem like a car accident, and not do it in the house, because she would be too embarrassed if people thought she was a bad parent. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Sounds like a true monster in law!

I wonder what atrocities she has done to make you think like that.

Maybe you should consider not faking hers.

Don't forget, Mother-in-Law is an anagram for "Woman Hitler".

Oh how lovely it is that we never get to choose our in-laws. I hope you and her will get along sooner or later, OP. (fyl for sure)

We DO get to choose our in-laws. No one should get married without dating long enough to know their future in-laws and how much of a role they will play in one's future.

So by your logic don't marry someone you love because of their mother?
pjsr 33
One's future in-laws are one factor among many (but a very important one judging by OP's desire to fake his own death & the experiences of many others). No one should marry someone they don't love, but it takes more than love. One person might limit a bad mother's access to his/her life while another might continue to be codependent indefinitely. That's why there's no substitute for time in determining if the person you love is a good match for a lifetime together.

What is she doing OP? Follow up!

how'd you know her name was se? :O
trashcan_man 16
No. No. No. It is always better to kill the other person than yourself...even if your death will be fake. Why put yourself through the trouble when knocking her off would be so much fun?
ohcheriecherie 20
I think faking one's death would be a fun activity. and less jail time than murder, if you get caught.

I am surprised Jesus is going the pro murder route....thought he was all pro-life and what not.

This is a damn shame. So mothers in law suck!!! Am about to become a mother in law and am so excited to be everything my new daughter needs! I will be the best damn mother possible!

That could be part of the problem....

I feel like we are missing a big chunk of the story here.

I have one like that... my own wife wont tell her where we live and makes sure she doesn't get followed back the few times she visits her own mom.
joeyl2008 29
I'm sure that is an exaggeration.
6demon6spawn6 12
you married your wife, not her family, so you dont have to be around your mother in law.
Queensland 27
It would be a bit hard if OP's partner is close to her. And she comes round every Sunday for tea and scones. Also OP kinda did marry her family. We all learned that from Shrek 2.

Uh OP never said they were female there's nothing in this post indicating gender except the fact they have a mother in law
mikbrooke 25
#31 uh, except for the little gender symbol next to OPs name. it might not be the case for you, but thats where everyone is getting this little bit of information from.
