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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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

Perhaps that's why your mum kept you away from him? Because she could treat you with respect that he couldn't.

When I first met my father he put on a nice face for a while and I actually liked him. He left me, then said I left him. After I was hospitalized for a bad car accident. You aren't missing much, be thankful you saw first hand what kind of person he is.

wow op sorry to hear that but if that was your very first time meeting him..maybe he got druck because he was afraid to handle a situation like that(not excusing it)..but try to forgive him and maybe one day give him another chance it will be better for your life at least for your heart and peace of mind

My bio daddy is a d*if I too. He is drunk 24/7 (unless he's broke). He don't work, is verbally abusive, and always mooches money off of me (well he tries to anyway). That's why I adopted my best friends parents as my own. I have lived with my "adoptive parents" for years and even introduce them as my biological parents to people I meet. I feel for you OP, I understand how you must feel.

Things like this just show you that sometimes not having your biological parents in your life is a blessing in disguise.

I believe your mother left your father for a very good reason. Take this as a blessing in disguise to find out early into the relationship than later.
