Today, my five year old daughter asked me what a divorce was. When I asked why she wanted to know, she replied with "Daddy wants one. He says you can have me." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my daughter told me she wanted to divorce me. FML
Today, my 5-year-old daughter said "Mommy, why doesn't anyone wanna marry you?" I've been asking myself the same question for all too many years. FML
Today, I explained to my 5 year old daughter that her older sister from my husband's first marriage lives with her mommy, and my daughter lives with us. She exclaimed, "It's not fair! I want two mommies like she has! Can we swap, I like her mommy better than you anyway!" FML
Today, my four-year-old asked me when I was going to die. I replied "Not for a long time, why?" He looked at me and stated "Because I only want to live with Daddy." FML
Today, my eldest daughter announced she was getting divorced. She never even told me she was married. FML
Today, while in line for my prescription, my daughter was interrogating the man behind us. I'm a single mother. She asked the man, "Do you think my mom is pretty? Want to go on a date with her?" When he told her he was married, she replied, "So? You can get a divorce." FML
Today, I told my son and daughter that their father and I were getting a divorce. They each responded with something like, "Yay! I want to live with Daddy! He buys better presents!" Their father has literally never bought anything for them, one of the many reasons I'm divorcing him. FML
Today, my five year-old daughter came up to me and told me she wanted to be a nun. When I asked why, she replied, "So I won't get my heart broken by a boy." FML
Today, my daughter came over, furiously ranting that her husband had asked for a divorce. During the conversation, I asked what she did to make him happy. She glared at me and yelled, "It's not my job to make my husband happy!" I'm on her husband's side after that. FML
Today, as I was taking my three year-old daughter home from daycare, she asked where her daddy was. I tried to tell her that I was her father, but she answered, "No, not you! My other daddy!" I've got some talking to do tonight. FML

what a screwed up loser he doesn't deserve you or your little girl

Blurting that out was uncalled for especially in front of his own daughter. OP, best of luck ripping him dry with child support. You & your daughter deserve better. FYL

Damn.

Although the father's way of going about this was very much inappropriate, he may not be entirely in the wrong. Perhaps he could not stand their being married and discovered they truly were not meant to be together, so he found it best that OP take her in as he may not be the best choice to raise a young child alone. It's a possibility.

Regardless of whether or not he felt he was the right type of person to raise a child, he never should have mentioned that TO the child, or made her think that he didn't want her at all. So yeah, there might be other reasons behind the divorce, but saying something like that to a little girl is just a huge no-no. That might mess her up later on.

That definitely is a possibility, but you don't use a child to deliver that message! All that child will hear is my Daddy didn't want me. She's not going to hear "my daddy loves me so much that he was willing to give me up to have a better life", even if that's the case. All that is a conversation that needs to be had between the 2 adults....not a 5 yr old.

And seeing her mother being a money grubbing ***** in divorce court won't? Nevermind, no matter how he explained to the child that a divorce was coming and that he had little to no chance of getting custody he would be in the wrong according to the women.

That really sucks, OP, I'm really sorry. You're better off without him, and I hope you and your daughter will have a happy life, despite all the trauma. On a second note, I really don't know how anyone could ever vote 'you totally deserved it' for this FML. :-/

the fact that he knew you'd have to break it to your daughter is ******

FYL for sure!! I think I'd rather be told via text message than like that. Your husband is an ass.

I'm sorry but, I don't care about his reasoning is for wanting the divorce, anybody who would say something like that to or around a five year old is a total bastard. It's just wrong to bring kids into these kinds of things because it's not their fault you married (apparently) wrong or that you assisted in their procreation.
