Today, I sit alone in a nearly empty apartment, drinking from a whiskey bottle. Two weeks ago, my wife and I were ready to welcome our first child… except the little bastard was the wrong color, and my wife's hysterical tears told me everything. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I told my family I’m pregnant again. My boyfriend is now sat outside, crying and getting drunk. My oldest son is looking at apartments for rent because he doesn’t want to be around screaming babies again, and my younger two are crying because they don’t want another sibling either. FML
Today, I drove to the hospital to see my newborn. I went to the room, picked him out of the crate and held him. Then I heard the toilet flush and saw a woman who I didn't know come out. She screamed. My wife was in the room next door. FML
Today, it was the birth of my first child but it's been anything but a happy time because just a couple of days ago, my wife lost four relatives in a single day (both of her siblings, her father, and grandmother). Neither of us are excited about today at all. FML
Today, it’s been four and a half months that my wife is pregnant. It’s been a long and hard process, but we made it. Now she says she hates it, she can’t stop thinking about how her life, body, and identity got ruined, and how she wishes she was dead. I'm a simple man. I was happy. FML
Today, my husband and I broke the news that I'm pregnant. Our 8-year-old son's reactions so far have been crying inconsolably, trying to punch me in the stomach, and swearing that he won't let me give him a brother or sister. FML
Today, I came home to my wife who was drunk and sobbing. I’d left her alone with my kids from my first marriage along with ours and I guess they acted up so bad they made her break her sobriety. FML
Today, our youngest daughter bought her first house and moved out, meaning all three of our kids are now gone, so we can relax and gracefully grow old together, right? Nope. Barely an hour later, my wife showed me a positive pregnancy test. In nine months we have to start all over again. FML
Today, I told my boyfriend I was pregnant. He seemed thrilled, and went to buy some wine to celebrate. He left 11 hours ago and won't come back. FML
Today, I found out that I'm going to be a father. Too bad I can't tell my wife. FML
Today, my three-year-old daughter rushed in, excited about her new baby brother or sister. She was so excited, I didn't have the heart to tell her men can't have babies, and I just have a beer gut. FML

I believe "bastard" is the correct term for a child whose parents are not married.

His wife went and screwed another guy behind his back. If it wasnt for the color he would never have even questioned it. No, he doesn't deserve it,

I don't like the way you word this about the child. Little "bastard"... YDI just for that.

For all 3 of you. I know what it means. I do not give a shit. It's not something you call an innocent child.

Maybe look up the origin of the word “bastard”

Not the baby's fault,OP! I know you must be devastated but the child is innocent.

“Little bastard” seems to be a realistic, though unpleasant description of the situation. … I am assuming that the “black baby” is not so much a racial denigration as it is a paternity test of the child’s biological father. … Yes, it’s not the baby’s fault. But taking on the task of being a father to another man’s child with a cheating mother is not a thing to accept lightly. … OP - Yes, this truly sucks! And I suspect you had no good options. I am sorry for you and for the baby.
