Today, my father informed me that I was born only because my mom lied about being on birth control. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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?

My older sister and I were mistakes as well is what my dad told me. My parents got pregnant with my sister, unmarried and were going to break up when I was conceived, still unmarried. But they decided with me to stay together and they popped out 3 more babies before divorcing 4 years ago. I've always felt like a blessing in disguise since then lol. But I'm really sorry it makes you sad OP. Try to find some humor in it that always makes me feel better in crap situations.

Well for the first comment his grammar sucked but all he missed in the second comment was a period. Which, in case you didn't notice, you also missed. The only really bad thing about his comment is the spelling, and spelling isn't grammar.

Thanks dad... I wonder why patents think it's alright to say hurtful things like that? I had a friend that had parents on the verge if divorce. The dad said he only married her mom because he got her mom pregnant and wouldn't have been with her otherwise. It cut like a knife.

There are a lot of babies that aren't planned. But that doesn't mean you're not wanted. I was a surprise, but not a mistake. You should think of it the same way. Just a delightful surprise.

Probably most people born in the 80's and 90's weren't planned by one parent or both, assuming you were born in one of those years. I wasn't planned.

Don't worry about it. As a wise individual once said: "I can see now that the circumstances of one's birth are irrelevant. It is what you do with the gift of life that determines who you are."

These parents are idiots. Not only is this extremely inappropriate, but he is trying to turn you against your mother. There may be a divorce pending. Keep reminding him that just 'because you are a mistake' doesn't mean you don't love him less. If that guilt-trip doesn't work, tell him that someday he'll be in a nursing home, and may appreciate having children, so he'd better watch his step!
