Thanks, I hate it!

Today, I received a letter in the mail from my Grandma about how much she adores and loves me. Then it went into detail about how much prettier, smarter, and successful I am than my sister, Leah. I'm Leah. She'd put the letters into the wrong envelopes. FML

Today, I received two letters, one from my mom, the other from my dad, about how much they missed me with me not being around them. I called my mom, feeling sad. She didn't sound sad at all. She asked me which letter was better. My parents were competing each other which letter would be more moving. FML

Today, I found out I won a 20 000 dollar scholarship. After celebrating with my family by jumping around the room for a half-hour, we realized it was addressed to someone else with the same last name. When we called to tell her, she said it was weird because she had received my rejection letter. FML

Today, I was standing in the parking lot with my sister, after my aunt's funeral, when my grandma walks up and says to my sister, "You're the one going places in life, I'm proud to have you as a grand daughter." She then looked at me, and walked away. FML

Today, I sent a love letter I'd written meant for my crush to a friend so she could evaluate my prose before I actually sent it to him. For some reason, my emotions got the best of me, and I mistakenly CC'd my mom. She replied with three crying-with-laughter emojis. FML

Today, my grandma told me that I'm starting to look like my sister. I jokingly replied, "Uh-oh I'm in trouble then." She gave me a very disapproving look and said, "You should be happy. She's beautiful, unlike you." FML

Today, I was at the reading of my grandma's will. Apparently I was removed from it some time ago, and the £2,500 I would have gotten went to my cheating bitch of an ex-fiancée. It seems my grandma adored her, and never forgave me for "driving her away" from the family. FML

Today, my 5-year-old daughter was asked by her teacher to write a letter to each member of her family to read during the holidays. Her letter to me said, "Dear mommy, come on. You could have done better than dad." FML

Today, I received yet another rejection letter from a college I'd applied to. After crying for a week about how lousy I felt, my older sister gave me all 6 of the acceptance letters she'd been hiding. Turns out she's been forging rejection letters and keeping the real ones in her room. FML

Today, my mom wanted to send me a picture of me at graduation, saying that I looked pretty in it. It was a picture of a different girl; definitely not me. Way to go, mom. FML

Today, I have been teaching my 5 year-old step-daughter how to read and write. She came bounding up to me with a piece of paper and said, "look what I did". It was a letter that said "My dad misses my real mommy, not you". FML

Some people can't get out a complete thought without dragging someone through the mud. Yeah, it hurts. Especially coming from your Grandma.

Did you ask your sister what her letter said? Maybe it said the same thing lol That does suck... but be happy you have a grandma to send you letters at least, by the time I was 8 all my grandparents had died, my little brother never even got to meet any of them

How about this... She probably said the same thing in the opposite letter just about you being better. Did you check for that?

My sisters name is Leah. She's on this site ALL the time. I can kinda see grandma doing this sadly. If this is you know this: We're 6 years apart and you're still in high school. Of course I'm already more successful. You are better at a lot of things than me like being outgoing, making friends, athletics, being organized, getting stuff done on time, not to mention you just seem like a happier less emotional person than me. I mean seriously you're a sophomore and already have a sweet attractive smart guy (from a loaded family no less) from another school taking you to the prom who's probably going to be your boyfriend officially soon. I didn't ever have a date to the prom nor a good boyfriend till college. And my guy friends all want to date you when they meet you. Till they find out your age of course. You make awesome grades. You have more friends then me. Now who's the prettier more successful one? Grandma is over 80. For all you know she could have been talking about one of our other dozen plus cousins cousins who are sisters. We are Italian, we have a crazy big family, and we're all pretty damn attractive. ;-) I love you, you're the best sister ever. -Gina P.S. If you aren't my sister I'm sure you have some crazy awesome qualities as well. I haven't met a Leah who doesn't. Keep you're chin up, and don't let someone who's old and probably bitter at life keep you from realizing the amazing self worth you have. You can always write her back and say "Hey Grandma, I'm sorry you don't know what a bad ass person I am. -Leah" :)
