A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

Great parenting
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

Strained out
Today, my parents happily announced that they're getting remarried. They divorced because of the strain brought on by me nearly dying in a car accident. So basically they put us through all that shit, including me blaming myself for everything, for nothing. FML

Waste of time
Today, my parents have separated. I stayed with them, living at home far too long for my own comfort, just to help them keep it together after they lost their remaining parents. Literally the month after I moved out, they decided it wasn't worth it. I now suspect they stayed together only because I still lived at home. FML

Scheming
Today, I found out my parents' entire marriage was a convoluted scheme to get them both permanently unfit to stand trial. I am genuinely scared to find out what they have planned. FML

Hey, well, happy birthday anyway
Today, my parents took me out to dinner. I thought they were taking me because it's my birthday. Turns out they are getting divorced. They forgot it was my birthday. FML

Why couples think this is ever a good idea is beyond me. A baby won't fix a broken relationship.

Some relationships just weren't meant to be. They tried their hardest and things didn't work out. It doesn't mean they love you any less OP. They probably consider you to be the best thing to have come from their marriage

At least you were born for a reason. Feel better op

I'm pretty sure that will not make the op feel better.

Too bad that reason wasn't that his parents wanted a child.

I wish more people knew this.

The idea is that a child will help a couple become close to one another but in reality it just pushes them further apart.

its a old thing people use to think would work. i mean look at the cartoons like family guy. maybe back in the day people use to come together for a child but these days, a whole different story

I've always been told a baby magnifies whatever your relationship is. If you're having problems, a baby will make them worse. If you're really close and communicate well, a baby will bring you closer.

Better than not being born at all. Now make the best out of it, OP.

You wouldn't know if you were born so it doesn't affect you

Glad someone found the silver lining in this.

This is quite common actually in some parts around the world. Don't blame yourself for not fixing their relationship and realise it has nothing to do with you. Also, don't get mad at them for wanting you for that purpose because either way you're you now. If you are happy with your relationship with each parent as an individual the rest is not so important. You are totally fine try not to overthink this OP!

I'm pretty sure that's better than the alternative that would have resulted in you never being born.
OverBlossomed 22
Not being born doesn't negatively affect anyone, so OP would've been fine. They wouldn't have known of their non-existence.
Googolman 29
Well, yes, but do you really think that now, OP would prefer not existing?
OverBlossomed 22
Do you really think every person who exists is happy they do? Perhaps OP is glad to be alive and that's a good thing, but, believe it or not, there are some people who'd have preferred to not exist.

no one knows what it is like to not exist.. existing gives you the power of choice and bring change.
