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

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 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
Today, I met my biological parents for the first time. Their justification for giving me up for adoption was that I wasn't conceived at the ideal time for them. Apparently, the ideal time was six months after the adoption, when they conceived the first of my two brothers. FML
Today, I met my biological mother for the first time. She stole my wallet. FML
Today, I met my paternal grandparents for the first time, since my dad was never in my life and my mom wouldn’t talk about him. According to them, I have at least 28 other siblings from him, and who knows how many that haven’t come forward. No wonder my mom always hated him. FML
Today, I'm 36 years-old, living with my parents, in debt. My mom always wants to solve my problems by giving me money, which she later claims as "borrowed", so now I'm highly in debt with the bank… and her. FML
Today, I tried to confront my parents with the fact that they're almost certainly going to outlive me unless I radically change my lifestyle, and that I needed their assistance to help me stay on track. I only realized after my impassioned speech that they were ignoring me the whole time. FML
Today, my mom told me that she had great news: we were going to meet my biological parents. I didn't know I was adopted. FML
Today, I found out that my parents are 28,000 dollars in debt and that my bank account has $27.17 in it. They took my money to help pay their debt. FML
Today, both my mom and dad agreed I basically ruined their life by existing. They weren’t even trying to be mean, they just casually mentioned that their lives were brilliant before me, then after I was born everything turned to shit and they’ve been miserable ever since. FML
Today, after going to my friend's house for the first time and seeing how their parents treat them, I realized that I’ve never once experienced parental love in my entire life. FML

Just know that they made at least one good decision, and that was putting you up for adoption. It's too bad but at least now you can move forward.

Ugh that's horrible I'm sorry OP. Just remember just because you have their DNA doesn't mean they have any right to have a place in your life.

Sorry no compassion from me. You couldn't leave well enough alone and now look where your at.

So you wouldn't be curious if your own biological parents had given you up? I don't think OP knew that they would be asses. I honestly think he's at a better place now after finding out.

Wow, so because HIS birth parents gave him up, he should just accept that? You're an asshole. They had a choice to give him up, he didn't have a choice to stay or go. It's only natural that he want to know/attempt to know the people who brought him into this world, you douchebag.

Met my real Dad too at 22 years old. He was a pathological liar and alcoholic, who then preceded to stalk me to the point I had to change my number and unlist it (years ago)! Really made me appreciate my adoptive Father ❤️

some people do that so you hate them and go back to your adoptive parents. I personally know one case. They don't want to break the family and hearts. Some cases....I said some...
