Today, I found out how my parents met. They met at a mental hospital, where they were both being hospitalized. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I learned that my parents lied. They didn't meet each other at an acid house rave. They met each other at a crack house. FML
Today, I had to go to the hospital. While I was there, my mom started hitting on a doctor. Later I saw them making out in the room next to me. FML
Today, my parents told me that they received a letter from a prison. Being curious they opened it up and read the entire thing. It was from this girl I randomly met. Now I have a prison stalker and my parents think I date felons. FML
Today, I found out my parents only had me in an attempt to fix their relationship. It didn't work. FML
Today, I intentionally caused my parents to have an intensely heated argument when I asked them how and where they first met. Dad said it was at a funeral, and mom said it was at a burial. FML
Today, I found out that my parents are first cousins. FML
Today, my parents told me about how they met. I'd already known they were eight years apart, but I never knew my dad started dating my mom when he was 21 and she was 13. FML
Today, I realized my parents are pretty much single-handedly responsible for all of the mental illnesses and personality disorders I have now. FML
Today, I realized that something's wrong when you have to go to a mental hospital for a family reunion. FML
Today, my parents met my fiancée's parents for the first time in a large family gathering two weeks before our formal wedding. Both sets of parents were telling funny stories about our pasts. My dad's story won. He told how I spent a week in jail earlier this year. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Not always a bad thing. Some people just have a few issues they need to work out. I worked in a mental hospital long enough to know. Trust me you would know if before now if their problems were severe.

From what I've heard, being in a mental hospital is really tough. It's nice that they had each other to lean on and get through it together.

Thorazine is an aphrodisiac.

I really don't see an issue with that as long as they're both mentaly stable now. I think it's kind of cute actually. They met each other when they were at their worst and still fell in love.

What kind of douchebag are you? Mental illnesses are just like any other illness. Your "FML" could be "Today I found out my parents met in a hospital where they were being treated for lung infections. FML" and it would STILL be the same. There is no shame in mental illnesses and the fact that you, along with a bunch of people on here, thought this was FML worthy just shows what an ignorant asshole you really are.

Are your parents happy and crazy in love? That is hilarious as hell. You could write up one hell of a screenplay for that. Seriously, have they been good parents? At the end of that day that is all that matters. It would be perfect though if we were conceived in the mental hospital.

If both are ok now then I don't see how it matters.

Having mental health issues does not make you a bad parent. I think you might be looking for a problem that doesn't exist.
