Today, my mother felt the need to remind me not to fall in love with a fictional character. After laughing and reassuring her that I knew the difference between fiction and reality, she replied, "You know, honey, sometimes I'm not so sure." FML

Today, my mother and I were watching a movie. She got up to go to bed, and I blurted out, "Please don't leave me." Her response: "You really need a boyfriend." FML

Today, my mom told me my relationship is a joke, because teenagers don't understand the meaning of relationships and commitment. I couldn't help but remind her how she's divorced three separate men to date. She hit me over the head so hard that snot flew out of my nose. FML

Today, I finally thought that my mother was okay with me being a lesbian. Then, over dinner, she turns to me and says, "So, do you still think you like girls, or are you going to start being normal again?" FML

Today, my mom asked if I was seeing anyone. I launched into a description of my girlfriend, only for her to interrupt, saying that she meant a therapist, and the fact that I'd just made up a relationship was further proof that I needed one. I really do have a girlfriend. FML

Today, my mom tried to convince my dad that I was a lesbian. Why? Because she was bored. FML

Which character? And my Mum constantly worries I can't tell reality from fiction because I get so into films and tv series, and get really angry when they are unfair to a character, or it portrays a certain message I don't agree with.

But... that... that has nothing to do with telling reality from fiction. That's you getting invested/immersed in the media you enjoy.

Don't worry about anything. Everyone lives a unique reality. No one lives the same day nor has the same sensations, perceptions or thoughts through that day than anyone else. And I am sure that a bit of imagination helps us stay sane and certainly more open and creative. I don't find it strange that someone may find part of someone else reality to be a fiction to them. I am certain everyone would be stunned if we were suddenly sharing all our thoughts.

I don't think this is an FML, more like a "Been there, done that" moment.

Haha, thanks guys. It was all in good fun. To answer a few questions: 1) It was NOT Twilight. 2) We were specifically talking about Batman, as I'm a Batman fangirl. 3) I was also talking about Mr. Darcy from Pride and Prejudice.
