Today, I found out that my father, who is divorced from my mother, has set up a lawsuit against her and that I am required to go to court and testify against her as a witness. I've tried to keep neutral for six years, and I'll go to jail if I don't show up. FML

Today, I was subpoenaed on behalf of my mother-in-law. My husband said if I didn't defend her and consequently lie under oath, our marriage is over. She said, "I can get rid of two problems in one day!" FML

Today, I got served paperwork stating that my ex-fiancée is suing me again for child support. About 7 years ago, I proved via DNA testing within the court system that I was not the father the first time. I see a talk show in my future. FML

Today, I finally decided to stand up for myself and quit my crappy job working for my abusive father. I gave him a few insults too, to which he reacted by calling the police and claiming I'd threatened to murder him. I spent three hours in jail before they finally let me go. FML

Today, my mom admitted that her story about my dad leaving us for his current wife was a lie. He left when he caught her with a coworker. She blocked his number and got a restraining order to keep him from telling his side of the story. I haven't talked to my dad for six years because of this. FML

You may have to go there but you can say what you want to say. Though you are legally required to say the truth, if you want to lie your ass of to cover for your mom, then go for it.

What I would do: Inform your father that you are not going to court and not taking sides. Tell him if he does not release you from your court obligation you will intentionally drag up nasty things to say about him when it comes time to testify (aka, take your mother's side). Then tell him that if your mother tries to do that, you'll do the same to her. But FYL. My family's got problems too, I know it sucks.
