Today, my mother was reading an annual Christmas letter from an old university friend. When she remarked that she could have married him instead of my father, I replied that she wouldn't have had me then. She then said, "Exactly, I could have had his daughter instead." FML

Dear OP, This may seem crass, but congratulations! You've just *completely* earned the right to disregard your mother's feelings/desires/orders! Seriously- she betrayed you in almost every sense. I've not the time currently to flesh out the multiple ways hearing something like this must have hurt and/or implied, but suffice to say- what she said was a terrible thing that likely goes against everything in the good parenting handbook. I'd still play her game if you're underage and can't support yourself- but beyond keeping yourself fed, clothed, sheltered, and in school, you now officially owe this woman nothing. She's openly admitted that the one thing you *may* have owed her, is/was wholly irrelevant to her all along as a result of circumstance. If she truly feels this way about you and your father, you're both better off without her. GL deciding whether or not to tell your father. :-( FYL.

you shut up Daniel. I know how it feels to be rejected and thrown away by a parent. You have no idea how much mental trauma it can put the person through. This commenter is right. so you can go play "hide and go f**k yourself".

Wow, you take things a little too seriously. Even if the mom was serious that's not a reason to denounce 16 or so years of parenting.

Yes you should marry Christmas, he would probably make you very happy, and you wouldn't have to live with a mom that wishes she didn't have you!

I think you guys are reading into it too much. The mom was simply stating a fact.... No?

She was, and situations like these are the reason someone coined the phrase "The truth hurts." Just because she was merely stating facts doesn't mean it isn't hurtful.

It's not something any kid should hear from their mother. Maternal instinct, some women have it, some women don't.

A bit harsh, eh? On a positive note.. You are here - even if your mom is a bitch about it. Sorry OP.

My reply would have been "And that type of attitude is why he didn't marry you."
