Today, my mom took my cell to work with her. When she got home later, she scolded me for not answering her calls. When I pointed out that she'd taken it, she grounded me for "talking back". FML

Today, my normally very modest and prissy mom came home, pissed off about something. I asked her what was wrong, but she wouldn't say, and snapped at me to "fuck off". She then grounded me for "making" her use that kind of "vile language". FML

Today, my mother-in-law told my fiancé that I had to leave and wasn’t allowed to live there anymore. I own the house. She’s mad because I locked the door so she couldn't walk in anytime she wanted. FML

Today, I was grounded by my mom because I had slept in past 11, when she wanted me to wake up at seven to do chores. According to her logic, I should have seen the note she left on the counter earlier this morning. FML

Today, after my mom picked me up from the mall, she asked me what was in my bag from Gap. I wouldn't tell her, and she ended up grounding me. It was her Mother's Day present. FML

Today, I was grounded for not agreeing with an article on dating my mom found in a very strict magazine. The article told parents to monitor phone calls, make rumors about their children cheating on people and not allow their children anywhere but home. FML

Today, my parents told me that they've been having a contest to see who could punish me the most this week. So far, my mom is in the lead by kicking me out of the car near railroad tracks, and making me walk the 4 miles home in the freezing rain. FML

Today, my mother asked me if my boyfriend and I were getting serious. I quickly lied and said no. She then informed me that if things ever heated up, she would take me to get birth control. Wanting birth control, I confessed. In turn she grounded me. I'm not allowed to see my boyfriend anymore. FML

Leave now. Seriously. This will get worse. The longer you stay, the harder it will be to ever go. Don't wake up 20 years from now realizing you've spent you're whole adult life being treated like a child.

I can tell you right now how it ends: you spend your life trying to please him, and you die as a sacrifice with him crying--bloody knife in hand--screaming "Momma!! are you happy now?! is he good enough for me now?!"

When you look back 10 years from now...this will be the day you recall you should have left. :) Have a great future with your ball-less boyfriend. Oh, it's not a FML yet...wait until you say "I do" then write us back.

Sounds like you both are living with his mother. Unless you are married and under 18, stand up to your husband and mother-in-law. If you don't, like all these people are saying, they will walk all over you and try to control you.
