Today, I broke into tears at work after being told my aunt had a stroke. My boss told me to "suck it up, no one is that close to their aunt." My aunt adopted me when my mother passed away. FML

Thanks for all the supportive comments. When I explained to him the situation he apologised and sent me home. I reported him to my senior manager and he has since received a warning for inappropriate behavior. My aunt is doing really well now, they caught it early and they say she will make a 100% recovery. She's talking again as well, but she will have to stay in hospital for a while for monitoring. Reading all the comments made me feel a lot better as well, thank you!

That was very inconsiderate of him and pretty dumb to just assume! A lot of people are close to their aunt.

Wow. That is an asshole move. My parents made my aunt, who I'm not even blood related to, my godmother. That still means the world to me today. And I'm an atheist

I can't stand people who tell others to 'suck it up' when something happens to a loved one like that. What an inconsiderate asshole. I hope your aunt has a speedy recovery, OP. :(

People that make assumptions suck! I'm very close with my step sister who had a stroke while delivering my niece, they can be EXTREMELY debilitating and overwhelming. Your boss is a moron! I hope your Aunt recovers swiftly, and good on her for adopting you!!

I find it odd that so many people clicked on YDI... How did OP deserve their boss being an asshole after their aunt, who raised OP, had just had a stroke? thats just plain ignorant.
