Today, I called my ex to ask if he could help with bills and buying some nice things for my son. He said, "Look, I'm not going to keep doing husband and father shit for a woman who won't marry me and a kid who isn't mine. Go call his dad." His dad is a deadbeat. He knows this. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my son's school called and made a comment about only calling me because my wife didn’t answer her phone. My wife is dead. It’s in his record that his mom is dead, and yet they still tried to call her before me, because I suppose dads aren’t real parents like moms are. FML
Today, I called my ex-husband to tell him our daughter was missing (the police have since found her, she’s fine) and he told me not to bother him with shit like that, because she’s my responsibility since she chose to live with me after the divorce. He then hung up the phone. FML
Today, I found out that the only reason my ex husband calls my son anymore, is to ask him to send him things on Facebook. FML
Today, my deadbeat dad threatened to press charges against me for harassment if I ever contact him again. I've contacted him twice in the last two years, once to tell him he was going to be a grandfather, and once to send him a birthday card from my son. FML
Today, I invited my deadbeat dad over for dinner, hoping we could resolve our issues and build a proper relationship. Just minutes after he arrived, I caught him stealing money from my purse. He actually said I owe him for raising me. He ditched my mom and me when I was 5. FML
Today, my son asked if there was a way to make parenting easier. I sarcastically told him he could be a deadbeat who sees his kid every two weeks. He must have thought I was serious because he broke up with his girlfriend and baby, turned up at my door expecting to have his old room, and told my wife it was my idea. FML
Today, I found out that I'm a dad. My ex from 8 years ago contacted me through facebook. I'm happy I have a kid, but apparently she only contacted me because she wants me to start paying child support, now her boyfriend who provided for them left. FML
Today, my ex-husband stopped paying his child support so when I phoned to threaten him with lawyers, he didn’t care. Apparently, he lost his job months ago and has been paying me out of his savings, but now he has absolutely nothing left I can take away from him. Now I feel bad. FML
Today, I asked my boyfriend to help me with groceries, since the last of my money went to last week's groceries. His response was to start a fight, then tell me it's my fault my daughter acts the way she does, which is when he finally got me to break down and cry. I'm pregnant with his kid, and I also pay 90% of our bills. FML
Today, I'd had enough of my ex-husband ignoring me and our son, so I threatened to take him to court for sole custody. He didn't even hang up the phone to his client, he just told me to go for it because our son isn't really that interesting anyway, not enough to fight to try keep him. FML

Your EX is actually a proper man with boundaries, Really what did you expect? he is an ex and not your babydaddy.

You let the wrong guy go. If you wanted his support, you should have kept him.

Yes, but with her attitude, he's lucky to be rid of her.

Let's keep this short and sweet: **** you, OP.

You sound like a dumb and entitled deadbeat fool expecting people to just fork out their cash for your problems. I feel for your son. Not surprised your ex hit the road.

I don't blame him. It's not his problem!

Probably cheated on him with the deadbeat, too

Who even are you people? Monsters? You'd have to be to think like that. Otherwise didn't actually read her post. She asked for nice things for her kiddo. So much rude. If they recently broke up, he's kinda a figure in the boy's life and should help out. My humble two cents.

It sounds like he would keep helping if she married him. Sounds plenty reasonable. Either way the boys father should be helping out. That's only right either way.

Be so for real, how can you expect your ex to pay for a kid that's not even his? And bills? You sound so entitled. Maybe get more income instead of asking for handouts. Wow.
