Today, after recovering from pneumonia and a severe asthma attack caused by my dad's fiancée's cat, he chose to keep the cat. I can't go to his house without having to go to the hospital later. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my wife got drunk and adopted a kitten. She thought I’d be mad because of the money. Nope, I’m pretty sure I’m mad because I have the most severe type of cat allergy that could kill me. I can’t go in the house now until everything is sterilised, so I’m back at my dad's house. FML
Today, my cat managed to lock my dad and me outside of our house. FML
Today, I took my wife's cat to the vet for her yearly check up. I'm finishing the day at the hospital with multiple bite wounds and a deep gash in my leg. My wife chose to comfort her cat instead. FML
Today, I went to the doctors and was told I would need an inhaler. My mom came back from the pharmacy and told me the copay of $35 dollars was way too expensive, so she is making me use my cat's old inhaler. My mom values my cat's ability to breathe more then my own. FML
Today, after 25 years living with my dad, who is highly allergic to cats, I was finally able to adopt two kittens to live in my new place, just like I have always wanted. Guess who else is highly allergic to cats? Me, it seems. FML
Today, I went to the doctor to find out why I've been feeling so sick the past several weeks. Turns out, I'm severely allergic to the cat of my girlfriend of two years. I told her "It's me or the cat." She chose the cat. FML
Today, I spat up blood and had horrible chest pain. My mom still made me go to school, claiming she needed to take the cat to the vet instead of taking me to the doctor. FML
Today, I told my dad to go to the doctor, as he’s been hacking his lungs up every minute for a month, and I've not had a decent night’s sleep since then. He insists he’s not sick, and my mom yelled at me because she sleeps in the same room and is able to sleep through it. FML
Today, I'm going to visit my mother in hospital. She broke her hip and my father refused to take her to hospital for 6 days, insisting she would get better. My dog had cancer surgery, which will cost me a whole month's salary. I’m still recovering from 2 major surgeries myself, and my kids are being total dorks. FML
Today, due to the heat, I had a deadly asthma attack. Where was my inhaler? My dad pawned it for beer money. What did my dad do about my attack? Told me to quit being a Drama Queen. I had to go across the street and beg for a ride to the ER from my neighbor. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Hes an asshole. Sorry Op. You deserve someone better

No he's not. I can't see why OP's dad should make his fiancée permanently get rid of her cat when OP can just take anti-allergy medication before he goes to their house (yes, it really works, and it's cheap). Even if OP lives there, all he has to do is take some Benadryl every day, that's what cat-owners that are allergic to cats do.

He obviously isn't a good dad. Bc they could get a hypo allergenic cat. So you can hang out with him.

You are just one of the many ignorant people here. The fiancee has a bond with her cat. You can't just simply get a new cat and everything be the same. So shut the hell up until you can actually think before commenting.

Am I the only one that is happy to see someone not get rid of their animal for a stupid allergy!

Nope, I'm with you on that one. Rehoming a pet because of a severe allergy in someone who actually lives in the house full time is one thing, but for someone who just likes to visit? Hell, no.

We probably need more info - though if OP needs the hospital because of it - it sounds like more than a stupid allergy.. though if it is just to visit it might depend..

Well, allergic-guy is only complaining about visiting now. As a severly allergic person, he is going to have problems with touching his dad. Cat fur get's everywhere. I'm not saying that is a reason to take away the cat, or that it is good, but he's alright to complain about getting sick whenever he hugs his dad.

I wonder how old OP is because he could be a teen/kid for all we know and his dad could have custody on the weekends or visitation. If he is there enough to make it an issue then I would hope that the dad would take his childs health into consideration.On the other hand if he is an adult then he can meet his dad elsewhere.

Well, she's giving him something you can't... Sorry about it, though, OP.

Cats don't cause pneumonia. Get some medication and get over it. They're in love.

If you actually live there coz you're young and studying, okay, I understand. If you don't live there, I don't see your problem. Cat would be there more time than you. Meet your father outside - adjust. It may be just an animal to you, but it probably means a lot more to his fiancee.
