You only deserve it because you weren't honest. Instead of lying to your mother to calm her down (which is a very dishonorable thing to do), you should gently explain to her just what your fiance meant, & tell her openly about your feelings about her & the situation. Honesty is always the best policy, & if you lie you will only further this awkward situation.

If the mother really did screw OP up, they have every right to tell her so. OP's fiance just had the balls to do it.

Part of being in a family is learning when to shut up. Yes, they irritate the shit out of you, but you love them so you just let it go. Unless your fiance is a perfectionist. You might want to ask him if he ever made a mistake. Because I'm pretty sure that the last guy who DIDN'T, walked on water and rose from the dead. It might be hard to live with, but it would sure make for some neat party tricks!

Poorly written. Took me a while to figure out WTF happened. And dont be apologetic, be honest with her.

I completely understand. A lot of parents cause emotional damage to their children, but they've done the best the could, and it would break their heart to find out they messed up someone they care so much about. You're fiance was totally in the wrong. You confided in him and he made a mess of things.

This was very poorly worded... how did it even get published? I had to read this 5 times before it finally made sense.

I too will miss reading Plexicos comments. however reading intoxicunt and perdix are fun, more fun than the FMLs usually. so thanks ;)

you cant polish a turd. if she did shit work raising you then thats that. dont make her feel good about something bad.

aww i do feel bad for your mom finding out she was a bad mother aww

At least she's apologetic, just forgive her and move on.
