Today, I had a serious conversation with my dad about my brother and me. It started with, "I love you", and ended with,"You and your brother were mistakes." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was sitting in my room when my dad walked in to talk. He said I'm not the son he'd hoped for, and that he'd been let down as a father. He said I should change the way I am so that he could love me more. It was the longest conversation I've had with my dad in years. FML
Today, my younger brother and I got into a fight over who the favorite child is. My mom overheard, came in the living room and said, "It's your little brother, now shut up." She was serious. FML
Today, I was talking to my dad about how I don’t think I love my fiancé anymore. He sat me down and gave me a severe talking to that amounted to, “We’re a respectable religious family, he’ll be a good husband, you’ll make babies and grow old together. You don’t need to love him to do that.“ FML
Today, I got a text from my mom that said, "Your dad and I are so proud of you." Sweet, right? It was meant for my brother. FML
Today, I let my step-father know exactly what I thought of him. After a few moments of awkward silence, he leaned towards me and quietly whispered, "Well you're adopted. Your parents never loved you." FML
Today, my dad sat me down for a talk. After the talk, he wasn't my dad anymore. FML
Today, I texted my brother saying, "Always remember I love you! Never forget it!" to which he replied, "You better not be doing drugs." FML
Today, I heard from my dad for the first time in over six months. It was through Facebook, in a message blaming my brothers and me for his horrible life, and in which he spelled my name wrong. FML
Today, my sister teased me about being a mistake baby. When I told my mom what my sister said, her response was "I still love you anyway". FML
Today, I was in the car with my mom. We were discussing my brother, how he's been screwing up majorly lately and she blamed it on his friends. Then she turned to me and said, "It's a good thing you've never had any friends." FML

It could be worse. Credit your dad for taking ownership of his "mistakes" and being present in your lives.

Your dad's an ass. My daughter was NOT a mistake. Marrying her mother, on the other hand, was.

My son was an accident but not a mistake. :) I really don't see how "I love you" can turn into that.

Perhaps the brothers came out as gay and the father is one of those intolerant parents?

Hahaha, I don't even want to believe this.

Did he mean that getting your mom pregnant twice was accidental, or that after seeing what kind of stupid, lazy pieces of shit you and your brother turned out to be, he regrets having children in retrospect? Also, do you have other siblings that were intentional?

It only means they didn't plan on having a kid when your mom got pregnant. Stop your whining.

then it would've been an accident, not a mistake.

People use those words interchangeably when discussing children. Not saying its right, just that they do.

Look at it this way, you're not alone. I'd bet a very large number of people walking around today were "mistakes" or "Accidents" of simply the result of a "Whoops" moment. Deal with it. Your Dad even told you that he loved you, so because you were a "mistake" doesn't mean you're not loved. A friend of mine, swore up and down that she would never have kids, didn't want kids, hated everything about kids, the smell, the noise, the expense. Then she had a baby. Now, I'd be hard pressed to find a more loving and devoted parent. Grow up, get over yourself.
