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

Worst part is that the borrowed money was probably needed for drugs and was the only reason he initiated contact at all. So sorry OP!

Protip, if you have to preface father with biological, you're probably not going to have a great relationship with the man.

Proud of you that you didn't fall prey to his tricks and deception. I myself come from a lot of pain from an absent father. No comment how how I really think about them. I'm trying to be nice...

I know how you feel in a way. my dad left when I was 8. 10 years later he comes back like nothing happened. turns out he only came back because I got a job at a beer company

Blood doesn't mean anything. It's who you emotionally connect worth that matters.

I understand I could never relate or understand the gap or void of not knowing a biological parent; however, the idea that people go looking for them always astounds me. If they aren't there in your life they are more than likely a shitty person. I mean there is the occasional I didn't know man running around but even then they were probably a shitty person which is why their mother never told their child about his existence. So why would you want to bring that shitty person into your life.
