Today, on my 18th birthday, my mom told me the man I thought was my father for 18 years was actually not my father, and my real father was in prison for murder. FML

Today, I told my parents I was pregnant but don’t know who the Dad is. My Mom said “that’s alright, I still don’t know who your dad is”. So apparently my father isn’t my real Dad. FML
Today, I found out my mom was getting remarried, to my dad. He's been in prison for five years because he pushed her out a window. FML
Today, my youngest of four children turned 18. It was also the same day that my ex-wife called to tell me that after 18 years of paying child support, I wasn't the father. FML
Today, I learned that my father, who died when I was a child, was not in fact my father. This comes as my mom, who has been present and loving my whole life, passed away without providing any additional information. I'm a grown man and my family also had no idea. FML
Today, it's my 21st birthday. I got a call from my deadbeat dad, who I thought had finally mellowed and had something nice to say. Nope; he just told me I'm 21 years a disappointment, then hung up. FML
Today, I took a DNA test and it turns out that the person who I thought was my dad is not my actual dad and my real dad is his best friend. FML
Today, it's my birthday. My dad was supposed to take me to get a tattoo, but instead he went to the bar, got drunk, and told me how I was the biggest mistake he and my mom have ever made. FML
Today, I woke up to the news that my mom's in jail. FML
Today, my mom was put in jail for beating the shit out of my dad. FML
Today, I turned 17. My parents completely forgot it was my birthday, and when I reminded them, my dad thought it was my 18th. He was ecstatic and mentioned that I can "finally get the hell out." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

That guy in prison was the sperm donor. The guy who changed your diapers and lived with you for 18 years is your Father.

I agree with all the people who think the asshole in jail ISN'T your real father. The man who raised you for 18 years is. He lived with you, he helped you with problems, he taught you wrong from right, he is your real father, forget about the retard in jail, he is nobody.

It's just like the Pearl Jam song Alive. However, as previously stated by various others, the man who was your Bio-donor is not always the same man as your father. I know exactly what you mean. My bio-donor is in jail for beating his wife, but my father is upstairs sleeping. Big difference

...my dad was in prison when I was born. My mom told me when I was about 11, "trying to get back at him," and in the process, screwing me up good. But I grew up with just my dad alone, after age 13. He's a cool dude. A (real) jobless drug dealer... but he's very smart. No joke.
