Halloween
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

How... how does OP deserve this in any way? Did they make plans in the womb to ruin their parents relationship even more?

Relationship not working? Why not have a baby?!?!?!

I will never understand why people do that. If a relationship isn't working well, what in the name of all things good in this world makes them think having to take care of a child together will do anything but strain things further? Don't get me wrong. I'm sure in some cases it works. But overall, using having a kid as a solution for your failing romance is only going to be unfair to said kid, and more of a strain on you. It's not a good reason to have children.

Sounds familiar. Say, do you have an imaginary friend named Fred?

That is sad to hear, and I hope your parents still love you despite their broken relationship. And if they don't, then there are others who do love you, there's always someone who cares. :)
