Today, after telling my parents just exactly what I thought of them and that I was moving out, the person I was supposed to move in with called to say they'd decided they would rather live alone. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, after months of telling my parents I was going to live on my own, I finally moved out. Not even 24 hours being out of their house, some reject burned down the apartment complex I live in. Guess who's moving back home. FML
Today, I found out the person that I’ve been casually seeing has decided he wants to live with me. I found this out when I asked him to go home after two weeks sleeping over, and he told me he'd already moved out of his mom’s. I sublet a single bedroom and have barely enough room for myself. FML
Today, my parents have separated. I stayed with them, living at home far too long for my own comfort, just to help them keep it together after they lost their remaining parents. Literally the month after I moved out, they decided it wasn't worth it. I now suspect they stayed together only because I still lived at home. FML
Today, it's been a few weeks since I moved into my own place, so I decided to visit my parents. I rang to ask for a good time to come over but all I got was basically, "Nope, you’re moved out now, a grown up, no longer our problem, ring us when you get some girl pregnant with our first grandbaby, bye." FML
Today, I found out that the day I moved out of my parents' house, they invited my whole family over and had a party to celebrate the fact that I was gone. FML
Today, I overheard my parents planning on how to get me to move out of the house. It's my house. They only came to visit and forgot to leave. FML
Today, my parents found out that I separately convinced them not to get back together, and now they're not speaking to me. FML
Today, my mother told me she thinks it is time for me to move into my own place. I agreed with her and went to look at studios/flats online. She later came into my room, saw me looking at places and then got pissed off at me, saying that I hate her for wanting to leave her. FML
Today, my girlfriend broke up with me after a year of living together. She told me that she met someone else and wanted to move out. She moved out... but moved her things into my roommate's bedroom. FML
Today, my family got mad at me and called me a "selfish" for not moving to the same state they’re in while I was visiting, so they could be closer to my kid. We were living in the same house as them until two years ago, in my current state, until they decided to move with only a month's notice for me to find a new place. FML

Might have been a better idea to wait until you were actually moved out to open your mouth. YDI

I think it's very noble to stand up to authority when it's clearly wrong, even if that authority is your own parents. Not every parent is loving and rational. That said, it seems that even if the parents were understanding and wanted to make amends, they weren't given a chance; the OP immediately declared he was moving out.

So even if the OP has terrible parents, they obviously took care of her until adulthood! Some people don't have parents, live in foster homes or on the streets....it's all about appreciating what you have...if you don't it gets taken from you. YDI OP..**** your parents life for having such a ungrateful daughter!!

Your naive assumptions about parents amaze me. Obviously you don't know about the parents who abuse their children so much that they WANT to not have parents, live in a foster home, or run away to live on the street. You obviously don't know about parents who take care of their children until adulthood whilst traumatizing them and making them violent as well as amoral. How about the parents who kill, or torture and THEN kill, their own children? Being a parent doesn't prevent somebody from being evil. The two are not mutually exclusive.

Well. You deserve it, in a way. Depending on how you told your parents what you think about them. If you verbally attacked them- YDI. But then again, that sucks. Awkward living conditions for a while!

Its a serious decision to confront your parents, and you should think about it for a long time before you do. Doing something like that can cause irreparable damage! I left and refused to come home in high school, because I was exhausted from the mental strain if being verbally abused by my stepmother. it's not a decision to take lightly; the relationship dynamic I once had with my father has suffered much damage since then. Always be sure before a confrontation!

Unless your parents were seriously physically, verbally, or emotionally abusive, it's usually better to keep your grievances to yourself.
