Today, I went to a family counseling session because my parents are getting a divorce. I told the counselor that I feel guilty because I feel like I caused it. She says that there is no way I could have caused it, that it's my parents' problem when my mom interrupts her to say, "Yes she did." FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, my marriage counselor got divorced. FML
Today, my mom sent me to a counselor she knew "through the church" so that I could get some stressors off my chest. Worst idea ever. This "counselor" invalidated everything I had to say and basically told me to pray the issues away, all while completely ignoring me. FML
Today, during family therapy, the therapist asked if I believe I'm a good parent/husband. When I said yes, my two sons, my daughter, and even my wife very passionately disagreed. FML
Today, my mother threw a fit because the psychologist she got me suggested I visit a psychiatrist. Apparently, it's my fault because I "choose" to be so "crazy". FML
Today, my mother told me: "If you didn't exist, I wouldn't stay with your father". So it's MY fault if she's having problems with him? FML
Today, my parents happily announced that they're getting remarried. They divorced because of the strain brought on by me nearly dying in a car accident. So basically they put us through all that shit, including me blaming myself for everything, for nothing. FML
Today, my parents told me they're getting a divorce because of all the strain caused by me nearly dying in an accident. FML
Today, I was arguing with one of my professors. She said that all married couples fight and I told her that my parents have never argued or fought about anything. When I got home my parents told me that they're getting a divorce. FML
Today, my mom and dad got into a fight, during which my dad said to my mom that her health conditions were of her own doing. Because of that, I got pissed and had a fight with my dad, taking my mom's side. Turns out, my mom took his side and ratted me out. FML
Today, my boyfriend's family offered me the trip of a lifetime visiting their families overseas. My mother threw a tantrum, telling me that it was my fault that she was never able to travel, it was my fault that she got pregnant with me and had to marry my abusive father. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

kids are never the cause of a divorce. the parents just suck

I've heard of this happening sometimes when the wife becomes jealous of the attention that the father pays to the daughter.

I do not agree with that. No matter what anything you did, it is your parents responsibility to work through it, not get divorced. And yes my parents are divorced so I had to do family councling too.

I don't remember the actual statistic but something like 12% of females and 8% of males blame their failed relationship on their children. Don't feel too bad, you're about 1 in 10 give or take

Even if you did do something but i doubt you did, if two people can't hold a relationship together despite another person it wasn't a healthy relationship to begin with. You can't let other people interfere in your relationship.
