Today, I worked up the courage to contact my daughter, who cut ties with me four years ago when I outed her girlfriend by accident, to see if she's still mad at me and if we could reconnect. She informed me that once I die, she plans to cremate me and flush my ashes down a McDonald's toilet. So… still mad, then. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my daughter flew completely off the handle when she found out I have a girlfriend, and called me an unfaithful sinning bastard, who’s going to hell for cheating on her mother. Her mother's been dead for 20 years and this is the first time I’ve met a woman since then. FML
Today, I tried to contact my birth mother, who abandoned me when I was three weeks old. After months of tracing, I finally plucked up the courage to call her. She told me to "f*ck off and die". FML
Today, my mom disowned me and forced me to move out because I didn’t have a crying heartbroken meltdown at the death of my stepfather. She knows I hated the man's guts since the first time he slapped her, so my not caring about his death shouldn't have surprised her. FML
Today, my young daughter came up to me, grabbed my face and said, "I'm putting you in the garbage." When I laughed and asked why, she looked me dead in the eye and said, "You are trash." FML
Today, I Googled my father, who I haven't seen in 3 years. The first website link was his obituary. When I confronted my mom about it, she said, "Oh, didn't I tell you?" and walked off. FML
Today, I found out that my grandmother desecrated my grandfather's grave. 14 years after his death, she dug up his body and had him cremated so that she could sell his plot back to the cemetery for money. I was the one who found out so I had to tell the rest of the family. FML
Today, I finally found out what happened to my ex-girlfriend from my high school days, since a few years ago she suddenly stopped using social media and never returned my texts or calls to see how she was doing. Turns out she died, and no one bothered to inform me. FML
Today, I found out my mom was serious when she said she’d never get over me dumping my ex. While babysitting my 6 month-old daughter, she took her to meet said ex for lunch while I was at work. Problem? He’s not my daughter’s father and I broke up with him when I was 16. My husband is pissed as well. FML
Today, I told my daughter that we were going to the beach. Today, my daughter also tried to dig up our deceased dog, who we buried in our back yard last week, so he could come along. FML
Today, after a few years of not feeling ready since my daughter born, I went to my ex's apartment to tell her I am ready to be a dad. Turns out she moved out, two years ago, and left me forwarding address for me. I tried calling her phone. The number was disconnected. FML

Don't ask if she's mad, it'll sound like to her that you're hoping she'll get over it. And depending on the severity of your mistake, it's possible she'll never see a reason to forgive you. You must plainly apologize and show that you genuinely meant no harm. Your relationship might not be repaired instantly, but it's a good place to start.

That would likely backfire, making the OP look petty and vindictive. Reinforcing the daughter's position.

So wild to see kids teaching their parents actions have consequences.

Write a letter and mail it to her. That way she can read it and respond and you aren't going back and forth on the phone or text. Getting the courage to call her had to be tough I can only imagine how you felt when she didn't want to talk. I understand how you feel my daughter didn't talk to me for 4 years it was so hard going through that. Stay strong.

Actions have consequences. You may try to send a heartfelt letter in an attempt to make amends. Ultimately, it is her prerogative to decide, when, how, and if to bury the hatchet.

My mom chose her bf who assaulted me over me when I was younger. I tried multiple times to reconnect. One day she told me she didn't care if I lived or died. I never talked to her again. In fact I hated her so much I wish she died all the time. A few years later I found out she died 5 days after my daughter was born. I'm no longer angry and through some fortune I have her ashes. Every day I wish I could talk to her even though I know how toxic she was when she was alive. I wish she would have just apologized to me and told me she loved me. I wish she accepted how much she hurt me. A SINCERE apology would go a long way. But you can't do it to make yourself feel better. You need to genuinely mean it and make it about her. After all YOU hurt HER. She may forgive you. She may not. She definitely won't if you fml yourself. F her life.

I can see that catching on and McDonald's have to put up a very odd sign deterring people from flushing their loved ones.
