Today, I discovered my step mom had thrown out my baby blanket because it was an "eyesore". It was an heirloom from my birth mother and the only thing I have left from her. FML

Today, I found out that my mother intentionally donated the quilt that I had made for her, because, "It didn't match anything". That was $70 worth of fabric and 7 and a half weeks spent on that handiwork of mine. FML

Today, I found out where a few of my favorite outfits went. My mother had taken them out of my closet, wrapped them, and given them to my cousin as a gift. FML

Today, while sorting through my clothes, I found one of my ex's old sweaters. After a lot of thought and difficulty, I threw it out. I felt empowered, until my father later rifled through my trash and claimed the sweater for himself. FML

Respect the dead

By what the fuck is wrong with her? - 27/07/2022 10:00

Today, my idiot stepdaughter wadded up my dead grandma’s quilt instead of folding it neatly after using it. When I asked how she would feel if I wadded up her dead mom’s blanket, she replied that she wouldn’t care, at all. She then had the audacity to ask me to explain what she did wrong. FML

Today, I picked up my daughter from preschool. Her teacher handed me her nap blankets and mentioned there was an extra article of clothing I might want to take home. I looked in-between the blankets and saw a pair of my giant granny panties that had gotten mixed in with her stuff. FML

Today, my mom disowned me and forced me to move out because I didn’t have a crying heartbroken meltdown at the death of my stepfather. She knows I hated the man's guts since the first time he slapped her, so my not caring about his death shouldn't have surprised her. FML

That is so sad! Your step-mother should have told you that she was going to get rid of it before she just threw it away. That way you could have had a chance to hold on to it, even if you had to put it in your closet or somewhere. Your step-mom is a bitch for not understanding why you would hold such fond memories and feelings with that blanket, and I am sure your relationship with her will never quite be the same. So sorry, OP. FYL!

it's more than DNA! memories and heirlooms are important. not that you would care!

it's not about phyiscal means it's about mental and the reason you savor those objects is because the memories shared and loved shared between you and the person that gave it too you and why they gave it to you

Yes, it's nice to have heirlooms; but when you are mentally and spiritually strong you realize that no object can truly signify anything emotional. That which is inside of you cannot be taken away. OP your connection to your birth mother is about much, much, more than a blanket. Feel your love for your birth mother inside yourself and don't project it onto anything external. Keep her inside: let the blanket go. OP, I would also suggest you have a talk with your step mother about respect and boundaries. You can't forge a strong relationship with her without being honest about how this hurt you.

I don't want to bum everyone out, but I lost my dad about 8 years ago. I don't really have any "thing" from him that I would freak out if it got thrown away or lost. All I do is look in the mirror and see that his eyes are my eyes and his nose in my nose, etc. And his sense of humor is part of mine. To me, this is infinitely more significant than any material item.

My main question is, why was it somewhere that the stepmom could find it an eyesore if it was so "precious". Most kids when their parent remarries has a hard time adjusting and will FIND reasons to be mad at the step parent. More than likely this "precious" blanket was out laying around not thought of by OPuntil it got thrown out. If, however, the stepmom went into your personal room and took it out and THEN threw it away, then FYL OP... Otherwise, YDI and quit being a whiney brat.

I know your pain. My mom died 4 years ago and my step mom is okay, but she unknowingly hurts me emotionaly. She is trying to convert me to her religion and judges my mothers family. She doesnt even allow my brothers to share their opinion in the house. Cherish the memory your mother, I do

the easiest way to solve this is beat her with a sack or oranges. it won't leave a bruise, and it'll show her who's boss.

Guess the 'wicked step-mother' does really happen. I'm sorry. That's truly horrible. You don't throw out something somebody has a deep sentimental attachment to.
