Today, I got an offer to study at a good university. My father has been pushing me to apply for years, so I ecstatically broke the news. Instead of congratulating me, he just grunted and delivered the more important news that he's divorcing my mum. Moment ruined. FML

Because nothing says "fuck you, dad!" like impromptu somersaults!

Oh phew, thanks for pointing that out, #36! I wasn't sure, after reading where the FML entry came from and all, so you sure cleared that up for me!

Sounds more like time to go to court most states require tuition of children whose parents are divorced to split it in 3

ruin a moment? Is OP seriously more upset about having her "moment" ruined than about her parents' divorce?? Priorities way out here.

I don't know why you're getting thumbed down, but I agree with you. The divorce shouldn't affect if OP goes or not.

Hopefully not, but OP's parents may not be financially stable after the divorce.

OP can qualify for aid. I'm going through the same thing.

Life's a bitch, and, apparently, so is your dad.

Maybe OP's mom is too, her dad has to have some reason for divorcing her.

I think OP's dad is a bitch for breaking such terrible news right after she told him something good.

This is the second FML today to end in moment ruined. I wonder if there's a connection...

OP's dad must be a busy man, if he already has another girlfriend. Too bad she doesn't like the planes.
