Today, my mother yelled at me for not doing all of my homework. She got so mad, she tore up a drawing I'd spent over a week working on. That was my art homework. FML

That reminds me of my sketch I made for my friend... I put it on the table for a minute and my dad tore it up.

There are a lot of parents that feel that the arts aren't worth your time and you should be focused on sciences and math or literature. As a game designer and artist, this is stupid and there are plenty of opportunities for hard-working talented or at least smart artists.

Man... Your mom sounds like a bitch...Reminds me of the time my mom got pissed at me for being upset at being not allowed to play with my friends (because I was wearing a long skirt, despite the fact I had worn dresses and skirts to the park and been fine) and being forced literally to sit next to her and watch them play and as punishment screamed at me in front of them and made me start to clean up my room one piece of paper at a time, anytime I tried to pick up more then one she tore them out of my hand and threw them on the ground until I was a sobbing mess. She finally let me off the hook and my best friend got me out of the house for awhile, while I bitched and moaned about her the entire time. As it is it just got worse from there as her little sister (they were staying with us) stayed behind to listen to my mother rant to my uncle about me and eagerly got in my face and bragged about how "we were talking about you" behind my back...Cue sobbing mes that was me a second time. My friend actually called my mom a bitch for it, and called her one again when she did another public humiliation tactic, by screaming at me in front of my friend and then yelling at me more while my friend waited inside a store and then sent us off to look around and...I was rendered to crying in a public establishment. My mom has since gotten better about her temper, but man... She knew how to render me to a quivering puddle of sweat.

Aw, that sucks. I've had to deal with an angry mother too... I had this inflatable guitar toy and one day when she was mad she cut it into pieces and threw it out, along with a lot of other things that were in my room (she locked me out of the house so she could do it) and I had to go fishing my stuff out of the outside trash bin. She used to hit me too, and now says that she was only punishing me. Except when someone's screaming and throwing things at you and grabbing the nearest object to hit you with it, that isn't punishment, that's abuse. Emotional abuse isn't alright either... I've had family talk bad about me behind my back.. except it wasn't really behind my back because I could hear them and I told them to stop multiple times. I was crying too. I tried texting my friend but he had to go to bed after a little while. Its the absolute worst. Its so stupid... once a parent realizes that they're making their kid cry and feel miserable, or they're breaking their kid's stuff, they just just take a step back and think about what they're doing and take some anger management class if they have to, because if you love someone, you're supposed to do whatever you can to not hurt them.

My mom loves me I have no doubt in my mind about it, just sometimes she didn't know when to stop and when she realized how much pain she caused me she really did try her hardest to do better and felt horrible about it. I'm sorry your mom treated you like that, that's awful.

Wow. And I thought my mum was bad. At least she only acts like a bitch in private.

That was uncalled for, my grandmother did something like that to me once and I was done, that's basically psychological abuse and I got the hell out of there, I still won't talk to her. I can't say that you should do that OP, but that was really uncalled for, I hope you got an apology and if not, I'm so so sorry about your art homework.

Rofl I keep reading FMLs about people who spend weeks doing a single drawing... It's too damn long, unless it's the size of a wall, a very big wall.

or you know, they're taking their time making sure it's perfect, small things can take a long time, too

Vlortch, unless you are a professional artist whom has trained much of their life to produce a perfect masterpiece in only a few hours--**** off.

You do realize a good drawing doesn't happen just as regular homework does, right? It's art. It takes time to become good.

Just tape it back together and call it modern art

Man that must suck. You should make her redraw it

Even if it wasn't homework...your mom shouldn't have ripped up your drawing like that. That's just wrong and terribly disrespectful, especially if it's your own daughter.
