Today, we buried my mom. I walked past my sister's husband just in time to hear him mutter: "Hope the fire's nice and hot down there, you old hag." I told my sister. She wouldn't believe me and accused me of trying to start drama. FML

Today, my sister called me at work and told me our elderly mom had passed away. I dropped everything and rushed home, to find out she was fine, and that my sister was just pranking me. When I explained this to my boss, he accused me of lying to get out of work, and I was fired. FML

Today, my sister told me she doesn't think her mom died the way she was told. Uncomfortable, I declined to give my 2 cents on the matter, saying, "I'm sorry" and, "Oh sh!t, sorry." She started gaslighting me about how I wasn't listening, and I told her I was sorry for being a piece of shit, so she then gaslit me about that too. FML

Today, I was pestering a co-worker, so she jokingly stated "I'll bury you!" and I replied "I'll bury your mom!". Her moms funeral was last week. FML

Today, I was at my mom's funeral. My sisters and I were sitting in the front row. The funeral director, whom we had met with twice before, was going around greeting everyone. When she got to us, she asked where our mom was. Seriously? FML

Today, my wife, who recently had cancer, made an offhand comment that my 30-year-old sister took offense to. Instead of saying something, she went and called our parents. My dad then called and yelled at me for 5 minutes about it. FML

Dead wrong

Today, I attended my husband's funeral and my son carried out the eulogy, which basically turned into a character assassination, ending with "and I hope Hell is hot enough for you, old man." Almost our entire family agreed with every word he said. FML

Today, my parents and I attended the funeral of my husband's mother. It was open-casket, and my parents went to take a look. My mum muttered, "With a dress that tacky, no wonder she died", and my dad chuckled. A fight quickly erupted, and the police were called. FML

Today, my mom talked me into going to a funeral since my dad wouldn't go. It was for one of her classmates. When it was our time to view the casket, we paused in front of it for a second before my mom leans over to me and says, "What if I told you that was really your dad?" FML

Today, it seems my mom didn’t believe me when I told her multiple times I was not going to my nasty bitch sister's wedding. Then she acted surprised and outraged when, shocker, I didn’t go, and has been leaving me texts and voicemails for over an hour. FML

Oh, it is! They got a real good heating guy who hooked them up with some sick insulation and temperature regulation controls! None of that cheap, cold fire you get in, like, purgatory.

He should go to hell too... I hear it's lovely this time of year! ;)

Nobody likes their mother in law but you still shouldn't say something like this at a funeral.

I love how none of the comments disagreed with her mom going to hell everyone saying he should go to hell too is just implying her mother is going to hell... Whoops. Sorry for your loss op

I think that's the point of what people are saying: even if OP's mother really was as terrible a person as the brother-in-law believes she was, he still shouldn't have said something like that at her funeral.

For some reason it doesn't surprise me that your sister didn't believe you

You are trying to start drama, OP. There was nonother reason to report a toss away line like that. YDI.

It would've started drama. Is it really worth it to bring something like this up while everyone is in mourning, especially since he didn't make an announcement but said it under his breath?

He said that about her mom. Who she just buried. If you can't figure it out, you're probably a sociopath.

Agreed. I'm sure the sister is aware of her husband's feelings towards her mum.

Perhaps I have more common sense than all of you emo little bitches. He doesn't have to like her. Perhaps she deserved what he said. We don't know. My ex mother in law was a worthless ****. But the fact is, it would've made drama and no, it's not worth the fight. Take the high road. Keep your mouth shut. All it did was create more division, which certainly wasn't needed.

That is a very good point, it may not have been civil or nice but he didn't broadcast it to everyone, you overheard him mutter it. He is intitled to think what he wants to and say what he wants to if it's to himself. He should have been quieter though.

That's so hurtful. I'm so sorry he said that and sorry for your loss. Take time to grieve and don't forget to take care of yourself. I hope you have someone in your life that can be supportive during this tough time. Peace.
