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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I'm probably going to sound like an ass but I don't really see this as an FML, I see it as more of a "dodged a bullet" I'm sorry your sperm donor and incubator are a bag of dicks but I'm glad you had decent parents raising you :)

They owe you gifts and a lot of other stuff.

It's hard. I will still say forget abt it. They are in the past. You are your own man/woman OP.

i guess now you know why they decided to put you up for adoption? if they asked you for cash they obviously couldn't handle the financial responsibility of having a child.

OP, there are your biological parents, and then there are your real parents. Two completely different things. And the fact that your biological parent's behavior disappointed you so much proves that you as a person are nothing like either of them, despite any physical similarities or genetic happenstance. It was very brave of you to make the step, and regardless of the outcome, at least you won't be thinking in the years to come, 'What if?'.

Well at least you had the gumption to stand up for yourself and end the meeting with them after they asked for money. At least you can see what you missed out on now and know it was nothing important. :)

Just think that it happened for a reason, and now be more grateful that you have your REAL parents.
