Today, my dad told me he's taking the whole family to Disney World, even my step-brother's girlfriend. But not me, because he can't "afford" it. FML

Today, I had to reluctantly break the news to my kids that we're not going to be able to go to my dad's funeral because he lived on the other side of the country, and we just can't afford to travel. Let's just say I have a bruise on my arm because they did not take the news well at all. FML

Today, I found out that my dad and mom, who just passed away, were never married and that my siblings and I weren't actually his. Now there's the very real possibility that we could be taken away. I'll die if that happens. FML

Today, I got a call from my parents that they have decided to get a divorce. My brothers and I just shelled out $5,000 each and spent months planning their 50th Anniversary party that was supposed to be next month. FML

Today, I found out that my father died a little over a year ago. I don't know what's worse; the fact that I don't care or the fact that in his will all he wanted was me not to attend his funeral. FML

My condolences. You guys can still have a private family and friends gathering to Express your love and loss.

I just saw a GoFundMe for someone's family to cover funeral expenses, and I've contributed to one myself. Maybe they could try something like that. I'm sure it's really upsetting to have to worry about that on top of everything else, and I'm really sorry for your loss.
