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, I was on the phone with my boyfriend. We were messing around and I always jokingly say, "You're adopted, nobody loves you!" to everybody. His reply, "That's pretty fucked up, I am adopted." He really was. FML

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, I discovered that I'm adopted. How? After a great lunch, I asked my uncle how he'd made the salad dressing. He replied, "Haha! It's a secret family recipe, my dear!" I wouldn't have thought twice about it, were it not for my parents' shocked expressions, and the long, awkward silence. FML
Today, my son broke up with his girlfriend. When I asked why, he said, "Because I found out she's adopted. Ugh. I just can't with that, y'know?" Never before have I ever felt the desire to disown one of my kids. It's not a pleasant feeling. FML
Today, my dad seemed moody, so to lift his spirits, I told him I loved him. He just snorted, "You gay or something, boy?" Really mature, dad, really mature. FML

You obviously have parents who loved you. You were special enough that you were chosen to be their child.

Whag a jack ass. We adopted our son. a parent giving their child up for adoption is the ultimate act of love. I cant imagine giving my child to another family so he/she could have a life I would be unable to provide. your step-father obviously loves you less than the family who gave you up. sorry op.

Let him know that your mother doesn't love him either. That should shut him up.

I'm not sure what you said to lead up to that but his comment was definitely below the belt.

I'm pretty certain that I'm going to get thumbed down for this. But here goes. As someone who was adopted at birth, I'd have to say YDI. You hurt him and he returned the favor. You take shots at someone you need to expect to take shots back. Basically don't start mud slinging if you can't handle the dirt that comes back at you. Some people are calling him a jackass, IMO you're /both/ jackasses for starting this pissing match in the first place.
