Today, my grandfather was counting all the grandchildren he had and saying how fortunate he was to have all of us. When I pointed out that he'd forgotten to count me, he turned and said, "You're adopted, you don't count as a real grandchild." FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.

Today, my mom was screaming at me and said, "I wish I'd never adopted you." I guess I'm adopted then. FML

Today, my grandfather told me that I was ugly. When my mom found out, she said that, "Old people are allowed to tell the truth." FML
Today, a guy in my class was talking about himself. He started his story with, "When I was little, I was a ginger." I replied without thinking, "Is that why you got put up for adoption?" Him being adopted was the actual story he wanted to tell. FML
Today, both of my grandparents died in a car accident. My Mom and Dad thought it would make me feel better to know they were not my real grandparents, because I'm adopted. FML
Today, I found out that the man I called grandpa for 40 years is really my dad. My drunk aunt spilled the beans. Her exact words were, "My dad is a better dad to you than he EVER was to me! You never wondered why he treated you better than his other grandchildren? You're his son!" FML
Today, I overheard my parents arguing over who had to tell me that I'm adopted. FML

OP's mom: Honey we're going to the family picnic! OP: Nty I'm not apart of the family. Grandpa told me. That'll get him in some trouble.

No, it isn't, idiot. FML is a worldwide website. You can look up posts by country, try doing that, seeing where different people post from, and stop being such an ignorant fucktard. :)

Aw! I'm so sorry about that!!! I can just imagine what it would be like. You're 'grandfather' is really mean. I mean, he shouldn't say things like that. I wonder how the rest of your family took it. If I were one of them, I'd verbally murder him.

When did I ever claim that only a single country sees FML. Also, it is a bit hypocritical to blast a person for having an opinion about someone else. Now two people could have been hurt while you were trying to protect one person. Maybe the OP is a crappy kid and the whole family regrets having adopted her.
