Today, I thought about how my dad went to get me a Halloween costume and hasn't come home yet. That was 11 years ago. We've moved twice since then. FML

Maybe he got you a ghost costume, and was too excited so he tried it on. Now he can't get it off, and he's been around you the whole time. :o

Today, after slaving for 11 years on the perfect Halloween costume for my beautiful daughter, I come home to find that they have moved. Twice. FML

No #44, he's only been gone for 11 years. Of course they haven't tried calling him yet.

#1 your picture goes with your comment in a creepy way lol

44, I don't think he went missing. I think he took off...

Wow!! Similar thing happened to me.... My dad went to buy all the stuff for my 4th birthday party.... 17 years since then.

He's getting it hand made by blind Tuscan elves, & if you would just stop growing he'd already have been back!

You have really beautiful eyes(: they are just so pretty... Sorry if this is weird I just wanted you to know that(:

Nice picture bro(: its kind of creepy how it makes your comment seem kind of like a child molester comment all based off your picture...haha(: smh...(:

I sympathize, OP. I have daddy issues too. :(

Is your advice based on your own exprrience of being abandoned by a parent? You shouldn't tell others how to feel and maybe she is a better person because of it. That doesn't mean she doesn't feel unwanted, abandoned, lonely and still searching for answers.

Move on from being abandoned by your father? I hope OP didn't wait 11 years for your *advice*.

That's actually not funny. What would you do if you didn't have a dad

is it just me or does that sound like something that happens in movies

This is the first FML that I've ever read that actually hurt to read. I'm sorry OP.

Don't worry, op...he'll, uh, come back...

Keep believing, OP. maybe he'll come back next Halloween(no matter how slim the odds are)

175 - Because the OP family moved twice since the dad went costume shopping. That poor man, spending his hard earned cash on a costume for his daughter and now probably searching the ends of the planet to find her for 11 years now. How inconsiderate of the OP!

I actually wanna apologize if this seems disrespectful, I read the FML wrong.

11 years ago? Before Halloween? You didn't happen to live in New York during the time did you?... :L

145- they would of been told if something happened to him, 11 years ago.

Well, I think the sentence "we've moved twice since then" makes it more likely that Dad took off. Maybe.

154, I don't think it would be necessary to state what happened to him. It's an FML because hes gone, not for the reason for leaving. There are several possibilities that fit within the story given, it doesn't take much brainpower to process that. While it is more likely he ran away I wouldn't be saying shit about him or the situation unless I was completely sure, apparently you would rather just jump to a conclusion and stick with it.

Same here. How could anyone say YDI?

I thought the same thing too, except my thought had one less "w" than that.

Don't feel bad...that must be one Halloween costume!

That saddening moment.. Where I try to hit your life sucks but hit ydi. I promise I didn't mean it, this story's heartbreaking); maybe other people had done that too, idunno

Maybe he got you a ghost costume, and was too excited so he tried it on. Now he can't get it off, and he's been around you the whole time. :o

That's a really nice way to look at it instead of thinking he abandoned OP.

Um, LIKE! #1 most hilarious comment. Keep typing!

This is why 6 is in the Kool Kids club... It's so cool it uses K's instead of c's

Either that or he really sucks at finding Halloween costumes

Could be a ghost costume... Or he is the hide and seek champion of the world!

That is one high quality costume.

It was obviously a ninja costume! Gosh get your facts straight!

Ghost costume made by Harry potters invisibility cloak ;O

He could have bought a Waldo costume: he just apparently didn't think that one through very well. =/

The ghost theory works exceptionally well, quite possibly being the reason the family has moved twice since the father left. They think it's a real ghost haunting the houses they have lived in, when all along, it's only been the Dad trying to get their attention to help him get the ghost costume off... I know OP said nothing about hauntings but that's all I've got. And I'm sorry OP, if your Dad isn't a ghost and really just left for no reason, he's an A-hole!

am i the only one who keeps imagining the batman pikachu thing talking when he comments

traze 7

Ahhh he got lost...eaten maybe and it has been 11 years I don't think he's coming back.

Maybe he's coming this year, but just waiting for Halloween this year. Missed it 10 times already

leogirl95 12

Halloween comes once a year, not five

That's a horrible way to bail! :( break a kids heart. Damn...

We don't know how old OP is. She could very well be 29 years old and could have been 18 when her father left. Yes, it may seem odd for a father to buy a costume for an adult child; however judging by the vast majority of the FMLs posted it's quite plausible.

Yeah but she said "we" have moved twice since then. Indicating their family as well.
