Today, I rummaged around in the attic, looking for old pictures of me and my family, so I could make a surprise collage. Instead, I found my dad's old journals, talking about how desperately he didn't want a kid, and how he wanted to leave my mother more and more every day that passed since I was born. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I found my childhood diary stashed in a box in the attic. I flipped to the last page and noticed a little note written by my now deceased father. It read, "Well son, this diary proves that you're a whiny asshole - Dad." Thanks Dad, from beyond the grave. FML
Today, I found one of my mom's old diaries that dated back to my infant days. I couldn't help but read a little. I'm now in great concern over how many times my mom wrote that she wanted to dunk me in the toilet or throw me against a wall. FML
Today, my dad found and read my diary. Most of the entries were about how my father didn't respect my privacy. Then he phoned my aunt and read her passages from it. FML
Today, I was helping my mom look for some money she'd misplaced. At my wit's end, I flipped through her diary, in case she'd hidden it between the pages as she has before. Didn't find the money, but I did find out she might well be cheating on my dad. FML
Today, I found out that 15 years ago my father threw out my college acceptance letters so that I could stay home and take over the family's funeral home business. FML
Today, I found my long lost diary and curiously read it. What's worse than finding out that your mother read your diary? Finding out that your mother wrote comments in it. FML
Today, I found out my dad has a folder full of baby pictures and things that I drew when I was younger, labeled, "Shit from when Annie was cute." FML
Today, I got back home from work and casually asked my dad, "What's up?" He casually replied, "Wishing I'd had a son instead." and stared glassy-eyed at me until I left the room. FML
Today, my father made a post on Facebook with an old baby picture, saying how proud he was that I got into college. This would have been sweet if the baby picture was actually of me. FML
Today, I found out that the person sending me secret love letters was actually my dad, who felt sorry for me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

You didn't read far enough: Day 1: It pissed on me. I hate this thing. Day 2: It pissed on me again. How do I give it back? Day 3: Holy ******* hell, how do I shut it up? Day 4: She grabbed my finger. I swear she smiled at me. Oh my god, I love her more than anything! I promise, you don't understand until you have one of your own.

Wow, FYL for having to read that. But then again, you didn't have to. In fact, it's quite rude to read someone's journal. But because it must have been painful to read those things I'll vote FYL. I hope he turned out to be a good father :)

Indeed, the fact he stayed was good i suppose, and it's obviously come as a shock, so you can tell op doesn't think he feels that way now. Probably just venting.

Or was scared when they started a family before he felt ready.

If you where looking for pictures, why would you snoop around a journal?

i agree with both sides. if you're looking for pictures, you don't go snooping around other people's diaries. on the other hand, sorry OP, it's not like it's your fault your dad didn't want you. technically not your fault, but now you know not to go looking through people's journals.

What an immature father how the hell could that be running through your head having a child should've been talked about before the marriage its not your fault your dad didnt know how to pull out in time or use a fckin condom fyl :(

I like the way you assume it couldn't possibly have been that the birth control failed rather than that it just wasn't used.
ohSNAPyall 27
And that you assume they were married.

and that pulling out was an actual attempt at preventing a pregnancy.

ouch. you should write one about how you hate being his kid and leave it for him to "accidentally" find.

Good idea.

If he's been a decent dad to you despite not wanting kids, give him props for that. If he's been a ******** to you, well, now you know why.

Don't read other people's journals, OP. You find out some things you just don't want to know.
