Today, I let my step-father know exactly what I thought of him. After a few moments of awkward silence, he leaned towards me and quietly whispered, "Well you're adopted. Your parents never loved you." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was on the phone with my boyfriend. We were messing around and I always jokingly say, "You're adopted, nobody loves you!" to everybody. His reply, "That's pretty fucked up, I am adopted." He really was. FML
Today, my Dad sat me down and told me that I was adopted. I was unbelievably shocked by this revelation and asked him why he'd never told me this before. His response was, "I didn't know!" FML
Today, my Dad sat me down and told me that I was adopted. I was unbelievably shocked by this revelation and asked him why he'd never told me this before. His response was, "I didn't know!" FML
Today, my mom was screaming at me and said, "I wish I'd never adopted you." I guess I'm adopted then. FML
Today, I overheard my parents arguing over who had to tell me that I'm adopted. FML
Today, I happily introduced my stepfather to my friends as my dad. He told me, "Don't ever fucking call me that." FML
Today, I was sitting in my room when my dad walked in to talk. He said I'm not the son he'd hoped for, and that he'd been let down as a father. He said I should change the way I am so that he could love me more. It was the longest conversation I've had with my dad in years. FML
Today, I discovered that I'm adopted. How? After a great lunch, I asked my uncle how he'd made the salad dressing. He replied, "Haha! It's a secret family recipe, my dear!" I wouldn't have thought twice about it, were it not for my parents' shocked expressions, and the long, awkward silence. FML
Today, my son broke up with his girlfriend. When I asked why, he said, "Because I found out she's adopted. Ugh. I just can't with that, y'know?" Never before have I ever felt the desire to disown one of my kids. It's not a pleasant feeling. FML
Today, my dad seemed moody, so to lift his spirits, I told him I loved him. He just snorted, "You gay or something, boy?" Really mature, dad, really mature. FML

How insensitive. Sorry you had to listen to that.

You obviously have parents who loved you. You were special enough that you were chosen to be their child.

if you were adopted, your parents loved you so much they picked you. don't bother with him. he's probably jealous that your mother gives you more attention.

That's what I was thinking, I never understand why people say that because I've read another fml where someone said something similar.

If you live with your mother as well you have to tell her this.. Thats complete bullshit of him to say. Regardless of whether or not you were adopted he has no right to say that to you. Step fathers can be major dicks, but if your mother won't back you up and punish the step father maybe you should try a different living situation? Sorry OP. FYL truly.

So what exactly did you think of him?

that's exactly what I was wondering! Would have been quite a harsh reply to telling him he's the step father of the year. ;)

Well whatever his opinion was it's worse now :P

I'm reminded of dodgeball when Vince Vaughn says it to the one Girl Scout. Lol. This isn't funny though, that's mean.

Even if he meant your birth parents he has no idea why they had to give you up, it could have been very painful for them! He just got burned and had no better come back so he took the easy stab at you. Ignore him op he just proved what a jerk he is!

This is wrong. If you're adopted, it frequently means your parents love you very much and CHOSE you out of the millions of others needing to be adopted... If my parents told me I was adopted, that would be a good thing! It would mean they chose me over anyone else. "You're a mistake, your parents never wanted you" is the insult... and if you're adopted, and your birth parents didn't want you, so what? Your adoptive parents do!

YDI- you think you have the right to tell someone how you feel about them, then expect not to get a nasty comment back...

Lol I think what he meant by that was be thankful he chose your ass to adopt. YDI you ungrateful jackass. Be glad someone DOES love you.

It was their STEP father so he had nothing to do with the adoption. And I think you'll find he was referring to the birth parents not loving op not the adoptive parents.

I read it wrong and assumed OP was a whiny little bitch my fault
