Today, my dad told me he's taking the whole family to Disney World, even my step-brother's girlfriend. But not me, because he can't "afford" it. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I learned that my brother isn't going to have a funeral because my dad and stepmom can't afford one. FML
Today, my dad paid for plane tickets for my brother’s girlfriend and her two kids so they could go to the family reunion on the other side of the country. He refused to buy my ticket though, because I "should’ve planned better." I lost my job due to Covid and used my savings to pay rent and bills. FML
Today, my husband and I had to cancel our family Disney World trip because my mom stole and gambled away all of our spending money. Our kids are still crying and throwing tantrums and don't understand why we can't afford to go anymore. FML
Today, I found out that my dad paid for my sister's friend's airplane ticket so she could attend my sister's wedding. I would have been there myself, but I couldn't afford the airplane ticket. FML
Today, my mother told me that I could take a friend on vacation with us. Then she added that because I have no friends, my brother can bring his girlfriend instead. FML
Today, my dad asked me how I would feel about going on an all-expenses-paid, month-long holiday to the Caribbean. I was ecstatic and broke into tears of joy, saying I'd love it. He replied, "Yeah, me too. Shame it ain't happening!" then left for work, laughing his arse off. FML
Today, I called my dad to ask why my university tuition had not been paid. He said that my school was "too expensive" and he "couldn't afford it." He then asked me if I would take in his mail while he was away. He was taking his new wife to Hawaii; apparently it's beautiful this time of year. FML
Today, my mother "borrowed" money from my stash to help pay for her vacation to the Dominican Republic. The same trip I'm not allowed to go on. FML
Today, nearly Christmas, my dad got mad because I don't have enough money for holiday festivities. I can't afford things because I haven't gotten my paycheck yet. I work for my dad. FML
Today, my parents said we can't go to our grandma's funeral because it's going to be held in Hawaii in accordance with her wishes and we can't afford to travel. FML

U dad is an ass i would make him take me cuz he'll take ur step bro's GIRLFRIEND who's not even related, but he wont take his own daughter cuz he cant "afford it"! I would say that ill run away from home and break everything in the house and steal all of the money and everything else! I know it was too harsh, but i would do it!

& how is this true ? no dad hates their child that much for him to be able to pay for his sins ex, but not for his daughter. and why is the ex being taken anyway ? if this true ( I higly doubt it ) then your dad is a HUGE douche.

It's not his "Son's ex", it's his "Step son's current girlfriend".

Alright. SO ... I wrote this like a year ago almost. In march,. I couldn't remember what user I'd made it under. Anyways, I was 13 when this happened. So don't tell me to get a job. Yes, my dad is a douche. Two, I live with my mom. And yes, IT IS TRUE, TO PEOPLE WHO SAY IT ISN'T. My brother & his girlfriend are now engaged. My dad tried to make it up by buying me this thing I had wanted forever. Inspite of all this, I forgive my dad, because that's what familes do. If you don't understand any of this? I feel bad for you.

Kiddo, I'm so glad to read this follow up. You've got a good head on your shoulders. Unlike approximately 90% of the people here. Your dad was a little thoughtless (I'd have called off the trip rather than leave someone behind), but you have the right attitude. The original post says you're in Michigan. I grew up there, and I think you and your dad should save your money and take a trip to Cedar Point, just the two of you. See if you can persuade him to let you take a few days off school so you can go during the week in May. No lines! If you like roller coasters, Cedar Point is way better than any Disney park. :) Sincerely, A random stranger on the internet
