Today, my father informed me that I was born only because my mom lied about being on birth control. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I found out that I'm going to be a mother. This was a mystery, since I take birth control and use condoms all the time. Or, at least, it was, until my mother admitted to swapping my pills and poking holes in my condoms so she could have a grandchild before she died. FML
Today, my old man told me that he only married my mom because she convinced him she was pregnant with his child. In fact, she aborted a week later. "And then we had you instead." FML
Today, I found out I was born as a result of someone switching my mom's birth control pills with Tic Tacs. FML
Today, after a few drinks my dad decided to tell me the story of how I was born. He wanted a baby girl after my brother, and mum didn't want any more children. So he tricked her by giving her the wrong pill. That should explain a lot. FML
Today, I found out that the only reason I'm alive is because my dad beat the living shit out of my mom to stop her getting an abortion. FML
Today, my mother asked me if my boyfriend and I were getting serious. I quickly lied and said no. She then informed me that if things ever heated up, she would take me to get birth control. Wanting birth control, I confessed. In turn she grounded me. I'm not allowed to see my boyfriend anymore. FML
Today, I told my parents I was pregnant but don’t know who the Dad is. My Mom said “that’s alright, I still don’t know who your dad is”. So apparently my father isn’t my real Dad. FML
Today, while having a serious talk with my father, he said, "Son, you're only alive because of a faulty, off-brand condom." FML
Today, my dad told me quite bluntly that, while he loved me, he never planned to have me. My mom baby-trapped him by sabotaging their birth control methods, and my existence ruined his life irrevocably and caused the functional alcoholism he has suffered with for 40 years. FML
Today, I mentioned to my mum that one of my friends is pregnant. She decided I was lying, that I'm the one who's actually pregnant, and that I'm going to get checked out by a doctor. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Well it could have been worse. They could have given you away (which isn't that bad) or they could have aborted you. And at least you have a father. Mine left my mom when he found out. And my mom was only sixteen.

You're not a mistake. Your mom wanted to have you. :-)

To be honest I wouldn't care at all if my parents told me I was an accident. What is the big whoop that you weren't planned? Who cares? No really, someone please answer.

Well I, personally, felt bad when I was told I was an accident. I felt like I had been a burden to my single mother. Yes, she had the... other options, but she emotionally couldn't handle them and stepped up and raised me. She eventually got a boyfriend that she's been with for 17 years, had my little brother and now we're all a happy family! She refers to me as a happy surprise now. :) I don't think being called an accident is too bad once you get over the fact that there's nothing you can do but appreciate the life you have and the mother (and father) that gave it to you.

You can't be mad, it is what it is. Chances are not everyone is exactly a product of a newlywed couple ready for a family. You're here now so enjoy it.

well, i was born because my parents atempted "hippie spiritual altenative medicine" to abort me, not very effective as you can see.
