Today, I met my biological father for the first time. He seemed to be slightly intoxicated from the outset, and less than half an hour later, he had tried to intimidate me into "loaning" him several hundred euros for reasons he wouldn't tell me. So long, "dad". FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I met my biological parents for the first time, 29 years into my life. They turned out to be two of the most pathetic people I have ever met, and the meeting ended after they asked me to lend them money because I "literally owe them my life." FML
Today, I met my biological mother for the first time. She stole my wallet. 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, after spending a few weeks getting to know my birth father and thinking he seemed decent, he's realised my adoptive parents aren’t rich and no, I can’t lend him a few grand. Now, he’s vanished and written several nasty Facebook posts about not being able to trust family. FML
Today, I saw my dad for the first time in ten years. He was stealing my car. FML
Today, at age 23, I met my absentee father. He went on about how much he missed me and wanted to know more about me. He then asked if I knew where he could get some good weed, and said he'd share it to make up for all the missed birthdays and Christmases. FML
Today, after spending five years regaining contact with my estranged father, I finally met him. I tearfully dropped my luggage and ran to hug him. He belched and told me to get in the car, because he had diarrhea. FML
Today, I met my son for the first time since I had to put him up for adoption over two decades ago. I wanted to make amends and get to know him. Instead, all I got to know was how well he can throw a punch. FML
Today, I found my biological father, who I have never met, on facebook and decided to message him. He blocked me. FML
Today, I met my father, who I hadn't seen since I was a baby, at Subway. He made me pay for his meal. FML

The FML says France. But I'm glad you've got your stereotypes figured out.

At least now you can move on with the knowledge that you definitely were better off without him :) That jackass doesn't deserve to be a part of your life

Yeah.. If a parent isn't in your life, there's almost always a good reason for it.

Not necessarily true, I know some women that use their kids as pawns to "get back at" or "purposely hurt" their ex. It's not always the dads' fault.

I know a girl who was a one night stand baby, and her mom made everything up to make the dad out to be crappy. She now doesn't like men in any way.

I'm sorry your biological father was such a douche, OP! I hope you have other, better family to make up for his severe lack of manners and common sense.

Why do the estranged fathers always end up being a poor person with poor hygiene and manners?

Good riddance to that piece of garbage. The man who raised you is your true father. My condolences, OP.

Who says any man did? News Flash: Single mothers exist.

Yes, of course they do, but we don't know anymore details of the OPs life, so of course all we have to go on are assumptions. :) And my point is about how OP's biological father doesn't deserve to have raised any child. :)
