Today, it's been over three months since my ex and I split up. It's also been three months since I've seen my step-daughter. Being an ex-stepfather is heartbreaking. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my ex-husband introduced our daughter to her "new mommy". That's the third time this year. FML
Today, it's been a few years since after I married my soulmate, and two years since he found he had a daughter with his ex. The last two years have been spent in custody court. Our savings are drained by support payments, and our own pregnancy plans are on indefinite hold. I can’t take much more. I want a divorce. FML
Today, it's been three weeks since I’ve seen my kids. My ex just decided that I was a safety concern after we had 50/50 for almost two years. Now I just gotta wait until I can see a lawyer. FML
Today, I just got home from a wedding and cried for about two straight hours. The bride was my widowed stepmother and the groom was my ex boyfriend. We only split up four months ago. FML
Today, I’m still crying over my five-month relationship that ended two months ago. I didn't cry this much over my ex-wife. FML
Today, I realised my step-kids never really thought of me as their dad, given that since their mother died 7 months ago, they haven’t visited me once, don’t respond to texts, or answer when I phone them. I’ve been totally abandoned by them, even though I’ve been their stepdad over 25 years. FML
Today, my ex-husband officially became my stepdad. FML
Today, it's been a year since my divorce. My deadbeat bipolar ex-wife is on her third boyfriend. I'm raising both our kids solo and, despite trying, have not even been able to land a single date since we seperated. FML
Today, I just found out that my ex girlfriend is gonna be my step mother. FML
Today, it's been 6 months since I last heard from my kid's mother. That's abandonment where I live. I don't know what to do. FML

"Ex" doesn't mean she's not his ex*wife*. "Ex-stepfather" sounds like they were married. It's not like divorce doesn't exist and I'm quite unsure if there are visitation rights for step-parents - certainly depends on where he's from. Furthermore it's not like you can't meet the kid if all parties agree, which it seems they don't - likely the ex or the kid. Then he can do little and of course he's sad. But a snarky remark is easier than thinking about that, I guess :)

Shoulda put a ring on it. To those who think marriage "ain't nothin' but a piece of paper," here's one way it might have given the guy some visitation rights with his step-daughter.
