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

Today, my parents tried to apologize for wrongly grounding me. I told them to go fuck themselves, so now I'm re-grounded. 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

Sounds similar to the reason my mom had me, only it was to fix her life instead of a relationship. That didn't work out well.

? I'm sorry. Doesn't mean a healthy, loving relationship isn't a possibility for you though.

OP, I know where you're coming from, you're not alone. My parents did the same thing. My mom cheated and ended up having my brother, so my mom felt bad and convinced my dad that having me will prove that she was still loyal to him.

You know, you shouldn't feel too bad. Even though your parents had you for a stupid reason generally all people have children for their own selfish reasons. Just be thankful that you get to experience life.

Congratulations you're just like the 60% or so of the population who was born for the exact same reason.

Welcome to the club; glad to have ya! In all seriousness, don't take it personally. It may not have worked out, but it's okay. The issues they had were already there! I look at it as without it, I wouldn't be here. It's not all bad :)

It's the same thing my parents did when they had me. Sure, they had a great relationship, but they couldn't give a rats ass about me. Sorry.
