Today, after a fight with my parents, I told them I was running away. They said, "Good. Now we have less to pay in child support." FML

Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

Today, I finally got the nerve to tell my parents that I'm no longer going to pay them a flat percent of my salary, but only what they need to cover my expenses. Their response: "Better find a place of your own then, you freeloading bastard." FML

Today, I told my father I registered for the Marines, and that I'm leaving for bootcamp next week. He asked if this means that he doesn't have to pay child support anymore. FML

Today, my dad asked to borrow some money off me, so I said okay. Later on, he told me he'll be using it to help divorce my mom. I pretty much just helped pay for my parents' divorce. FML

Today, I finally told my dad that he owes me over 400 dollars, and that I need it or else I'd get kicked out of my apartment. He only gave me 70 and said to get a better job. FML

Today, I got mad at my parents and threatened to run away. Things got so bad that I packed a bag and left, planning to hide in my front yard to teach them a lesson. It's been two hours, and I'm still standing behind a bush in front of my house while they make no effort to look for me. FML

OP worded it incorrectly. I think it's more of "Ok good, now we don't have to spend more money to support our child!"

I just imagined the OP's parents writing checks and getting money orders they give each other. The mother's child support is due on the 1st, the father's is due on the 15th😂

Running away never solves anything. Especially if you're in the movie Prometheus, and you decide to run in a straight line from the big wheel thing that's following you, instead of running to either side.
