Today, I found out that my father died a little over a year ago. I don't know what's worse; the fact that I don't care or the fact that in his will all he wanted was me not to attend his funeral. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my estranged father died. No one bothered to tell me, and the only reason I found out was because his wife texted my sister. When I asked about the service, I was told I was not welcome in the state he had lived in, because I was no longer family. FML
Today, my father passed. He never gave me the time of day for anything, but he was my dad so I went to the funeral. However, 98% of the people there had no idea he had an eldest daughter. FML
Today, I found out that I'm not welcome at my boyfriend's dad funeral, because his ex-wife has invited herself, and it would be too awkward to explain to his extended family, most of whom apparently don't yet know that he's divorced. FML
Today, I learned that my brother isn't going to have a funeral because my dad and stepmom can't afford one. FML
Today, my father told me that it wasn't that I was written out of his will, it's that he never thought to include me in the first place. 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 found out that 15 years ago my father threw out my college acceptance letters so that I could stay home and take over the family's funeral home business. 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, I saw my dad for the first time in almost five years, at his funeral. FML
Today, I found out my dad is dating my dead mom's best friend. FML

If you don't care that he died, why would you care that he didn't want you to go to the funeral? Sounds like it was a mutual understanding.

Why would you post something like that? If you don't care why tell the world about it?

The fact that you never had a father-son relationship is worse.

You're a loser....way to be a piece of shit child... It's people like you mr PO..OP who make the world a shitty place.

who are you to call him a piece of shit? Do you even think that his father might have been the piece of shit in this relationship? He obviously had to have done SOMETHING to his kid to earn such disdain from him. Think before you speak, it's what your brain is for.

what type of father doesn't want his child at his funeral?

Op didn't have to do anything to earn his dads anger you know. His dad could have abused him physically or sexually and gotten in trouble for it. That would cause hate from both sides. My father has done things I can never forgive him for, but I don't hate him. I can only imagine what op went through in his life to have feelings such as this. Fyl op for no one telling you and what your dad said. You at least deserved to have been told in a timely manner.

Family relationships are always the most complicated.
