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 learned I was adopted and that my parents had died in a car accident when I was really young. My girlfriend was sitting next to me when I got the news, and several hours later broke up with me in a text stating, "I don't want to be with someone who doesn't have real parents." FML
Today, my mom told me that she had great news: we were going to meet my biological parents. I didn't know I was adopted. FML
Today, I learned that my father, who died when I was a child, was not in fact my father. This comes as my mom, who has been present and loving my whole life, passed away without providing any additional information. I'm a grown man and my family also had no idea. FML
Today, I overheard my parents arguing over who had to tell me that I'm adopted. FML
Today, it's my birthday. My grandmother died yesterday. We were close and she basically raised me. FML
Today, I found out that my dad and mom, who just passed away, were never married and that my siblings and I weren't actually his. Now there's the very real possibility that we could be taken away. I'll die if that happens. FML
Today, after mourning and making my girlfriend cancel her big birthday party, I found out my grandma didn't actually die. FML
Today, without telling me, my mom dropped me off at my grandmother's house, and drove off. Now I'm supposed to spend the next month with her. Guess she forgot my grandma died six weeks ago. FML
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
Today, my grandparents told me they couldn't make it to my college graduation, even with months in advance to plan, because they had their annual Mother's Day plans with friends. Plans they've had every year, and are further away. This was the only time I'll ever have a graduation ceremony. My grandpa is my last biological grandparent. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I'm pretty sure a lot of the YDIs on the ones that couldn't be anything but FYLs are trolls and/or smartasses. They just click it to be oh-so-bad.

Okay first of all, yeah ur grandparents dying sucks. But WTF is wrong with u? Being adopted isnt bad at all. I was adopted and I don't even wanna know who my biological parents are. Ur real parents are the ones that raise live and care for you. Sure you may be curious and want to meet ur biological parents and you go ahead. But wait till ur 18 and be warned, You might not wanna get mixed up with them. It might cause emotional problems or they may have wanted u to live in a better lifestyle than what they could have given you. Being adopted never changed anything in my life and shouldn't affect yours.

Maybe it'll feel better if you killed Mom and Dad, you are ADOPTED after all (Note: Anyone, please do not try this at home, at least somewhere else secluded)

Once you adopt a child they become just as much a member of the family as any children you would make your self! So you were justified in being sad, I would be sad too. And that was awful of your parents to say that! As if there would a some sort of degree of separation there. Just awful!
