Today, my dad casually mentioned my half-sister in conversation. He had her out of wedlock when he was only 13. NEWS TO ME, HE'S NEVER MENTIONED I HAVE A HALF-SISTER BEFORE AND I'M FREAKING 22 YEARS-OLD. Apparently he and mom thought I knew, and just forgot to tell me. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my dad introduced me to my half-sister. He'd only recently found out that he had another daughter by another woman, and had only just met her. She and I have been in the same class in school for the past three years. FML
Today, my parents told me about how they met. I'd already known they were eight years apart, but I never knew my dad started dating my mom when he was 21 and she was 13. FML
Today, my dad's face flushed when I introduced him to my new boyfriend. I live in a small town, and it turns out my dad recognized him. He's the secret child from an affair two decades ago. He's my half-brother. FML
Today, I found out the truth about my parents’ divorce and why our family is so distant. Turns out my dad had an affair with not one, but two of my mom’s sisters. And that my youngest cousin is also my half-sister. FML
Today, I found out via Facebook that my older sister just had another baby, a whole week ago, whose name is my middle name. No one told me. I didn't even know she was pregnant. FML
Today, my girlfriend's mom and my dad met for the first time. We discovered that they are each other's exes, and not only that, my girlfriend, whom I have been dating, hanging out, confiding with, being intimate with, shared each other's first times, and plan to marry, is actually my half-sister. FML
Today, my estranged, alcoholic father decided to tell me I have a sister. After 30 minutes of him describing how beautiful she is, how much we look alike, and how she has lived one town away from me her entire life, I was excited to the point of tears. Too bad she died a year ago. Thanks dad. FML
Today, I just found out my dad got remarried a year ago. The woman is officially living with us, I got to have lunch with her alone today. I found out she is only 22, with a 14 year-old little brother. My dad's 47. I'm 17, now with a 14 year-old uncle, and a mom that can pass for my girlfriend. FML
Today, I found out that my husband is the biological father of my baby sister. FML
Today, my half-sister lied and told my mom I got a girl at school pregnant. My mom is unreasonable at the best of times, but after a full hour trying to get me to name this nonexistent girl, she's calling every parent from school to check if their daughters are hiding a secret pregnancy. FML

that's messed up. especially because it sounds like he didn't care enough about her to have her in his life

I honestly cannot see ANY 13 year old boy being in any way prepared to handle having a child. I am curious how old the mother was and if the baby was put up for adoption but found her bio parents later.

it doesn't matter though. he became an adult yet still ignored the child. my mom was 16 when she had me and my dad was 19. they both stepped up to the plate and raised me.

The needle tears a hole The old familiar sting Try to kill it all away But I remember everything - Hurt, Johnny Cash

Hurt is by Trent Reznor (Nine Inch Nails). Johnny Cash covered it.

Is she hot? If not, you can relax -- it's no problem.

My family shares that kind of trait. No, they didn't "forget"... they hoped you'd not find out.

Children forget things, you may have known and forgot.

Why the hell was he impregnating girls at age 13?! That's ridiculous!!! Just... ugh!!! And your mom knew?! And she still married him?! Wow...

Well considering that they wanted to wait until you were more mature to handle the situation. You 22 not 42. I'm not sure how many people would have handled it well in their teens. Given that your reaction was " im 22 years old!" maybe they should have waited.
