Today, I visited my grandmother who has dementia. She thought I was my father, and told me that I should never have married my mother, let alone have had children with her. FML

Today, I went to see my grandmother. She has alzheimers and doesn't remember me sometimes, and today she thought I was her sister and that I was trying to steal my grandfather from her. She hit me with a cane and called me a slut. 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, 98 year-old mom with dementia thought she was talking to one of my dead sisters and not my wife, telling her she'd better never tell me who my real father really, that I ruined her marriage. She won't have me ruining her reputation, so her getting pregnant with me from an affair was my fault apparently. None of my siblings ever told me. FML

Drama alert

Today, I went to visit my grandparents, as my grandmother may not have long left. When my stepfather wasn't grilling my visibly uncomfortable grandad about Bible passages, my mother was trauma-dumping about how hard her life has been, and how awful her marriage to my father was. They're his parents. FML

Today, being the nice grandchild that I am, I went to visit my grandmother. She didn't recognise who I was. I thought she was joking. She later called the police as, "Some weirdo had walked into her house." I'm that weirdo; she wasn't joking. FML

Today, while at my aunt's funeral, my grandma who has terrible memory loss asked me whose funeral we were at. I had to explain to her that her daughter had died. FML

Today, I told my grandmother I was planning a trip to take my newborn son to meet his great-great-grandfather before it was too late. She had a guilty expression on her face. My great-grandfather died 4 months ago and my family forgot to tell me. FML

Today, I listened to my grandma monologue about how if my uncle was born first, my mother (and consequently, I) would not exist. I then got to listen to her rant about what a terror he was. Let's just say I learned and heard some things I'd rather have not known. FML

I can't believe you posted this thinking your life is ****** up. Dementia is heartbreaking, Alzheimer's runs in my family. Both my grandfather and my uncle have died from it and there's a very high chance that my mom will get it too. OP you are an ass for posting this as a fml. Soon your grandmother won't be here for you to complain about how ****** your life is because of her disease.

You're a complete asshole for complaining about your grandmother's dementia. YDI.

i'm sorry, people w/ dementia can still say hurtful things that make you sad even though you know they didn't mean it. GTFO.

But is it an FML? Is their life ruined? Not even close.

FYL? No, FHL. She has dementia. I know what people with dementia say hurts (Try not being remembered by someone AT ALL.), but it's not their fault. You have to take it and be glad that your brain is functioning properly.

You never know. She might be right, despite the dementia. Have a heart, OP. Could you do yourself a favor and pipe down?

your an idiot. If she has dementia she probably doesn't even remember anything specific about you father or mother, just knows that she has a son who got married.
