Today, both of my grandparents died in a car accident. My Mom and Dad thought it would make me feel better to know they were not my real grandparents, because I'm adopted. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I learned I was adopted and that my parents had died in a car accident when I was really young. My girlfriend was sitting next to me when I got the news, and several hours later broke up with me in a text stating, "I don't want to be with someone who doesn't have real parents." 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 learned that my father, who died when I was a child, was not in fact my father. This comes as my mom, who has been present and loving my whole life, passed away without providing any additional information. I'm a grown man and my family also had no idea. FML
Today, I overheard my parents arguing over who had to tell me that I'm adopted. FML
Today, it's my birthday. My grandmother died yesterday. We were close and she basically raised me. FML
Today, I found out that my dad and mom, who just passed away, were never married and that my siblings and I weren't actually his. Now there's the very real possibility that we could be taken away. I'll die if that happens. FML
Today, after mourning and making my girlfriend cancel her big birthday party, I found out my grandma didn't actually die. FML
Today, without telling me, my mom dropped me off at my grandmother's house, and drove off. Now I'm supposed to spend the next month with her. Guess she forgot my grandma died six weeks ago. FML
Today, my grandfather was counting all the grandchildren he had and saying how fortunate he was to have all of us. When I pointed out that he'd forgotten to count me, he turned and said, "You're adopted, you don't count as a real grandchild." FML
Today, my grandparents told me they couldn't make it to my college graduation, even with months in advance to plan, because they had their annual Mother's Day plans with friends. Plans they've had every year, and are further away. This was the only time I'll ever have a graduation ceremony. My grandpa is my last biological grandparent. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Your parents sure do recognize opportune moments to drop bombs.

I'm pretty sure a lot of the YDIs on the ones that couldn't be anything but FYLs are trolls and/or smartasses. They just click it to be oh-so-bad.

I don't understand... So it's kind of random, but what does being adopted have to do with grandparents dying? Being adopted = neutral, Grandparents dying = negative. Or are you one of the folks that think that being adopted is a sad thing?

Yeah I really don't see why being told that you are adopted is so bad, how does that affect you in any way?
Levity 0
Being told that your adopted means that you have been lied to your whole life, it's not bad if you find it out earlier...but to the people it happens to it seems to them as if their whole life were a lie, does that seem like its "neutral" or "not a big deal?"

To totally change the subject and become a grammar Nazi, Mom and Dad should not be capitalized the way it was used in that article.

Yeah, why'd they adopt you? They should've let you grow up on the streets, huh?

Oh ok... It's totally not a bad thing. You know your real parents only abandoned you... Or died... And a stranger who you've trusted your whole life has been lying to you for so long...

Not always... What if your original dad was Bob ******* Saget... He would think he made you laugh all the time.

Seriously...great parents there. So compassionate.

FHL because it also implies that the parents don't consider themselves OP's "real" parents.

Man, FYL indeed. What your parents are saying is they would feel too bad if you died either since you're adopted.

You leave Richard Simmons alone! He's always hilarious on Letterman. I just wish if he was going to wear those short shorts then he could atleast put some underwear on before jumping up on couches. Im pretty sure i saw something man was not meant to see.
