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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

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

Probably that attitude that made your friend not want to live with you in the first place.

That's precisely why they say to never burn bridges. Sucks to be you, but F your parents' L for putting up with a sniveling ungrateful kid for so long

Your comment :LMAO! Back fire u jerk! They're ur parents! No matter what, u should never disrespect them like that. You owe it to them to talk to them and tell them how you feel about them, not pull some chiken shit move like that. Damn, running away while u talk shit looking back over ur shoulder, and then running into a pole lol. Thats pretty much how ur life just went down ROFL!

I agree with #25

I'm with #27 - raising your child to adulthood is your legal responsibility. It doesn't give you the right to rape them, hit them, or mentally abuse them. I don't know that any of that was going on with the OP. If she's just being a brat, well she deserves it. But if they abused her, her life sucks. Being in an environment like that isn't something anyone should have to deal with. I also agree, however, that she should have waited until she was already set in a new place.

There was absolutely no good thing that could come out of you completely burning your bridges in this case. If they're as awful as you say they are then you should be able to move out on your own anyway. Head to a YWCA and start answering ads now. But if you're planning on staying with them now that your plans have fallen through - then you need to make things right. I hope you've learned something from this mess.

Your parents must be jumping from joy (deep down inside if they pretended that they care about you) from two consecutive wins. The first one being that they no longer have to take care of you. The second win being that they can torture their selfish and disrespectful daughter until she moves out.

There are some times when it is best to keep your mouth shut. This was probably one of those times. No, good for you, OP! Fight the power!

Your would-be-roommate must have been psychic and thought to theirself: "Do I really want to live with this bitch? No. I'm giving a call." just before you ripped on your parents. I hope you like wandering...

You know...I'd say it but I'm sure several others already have, but seriously? Patience is a virtue for a reason, and so is not counting your chickens.
