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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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.

You get out what you put in. You can't bitch someone out then get mad if they hit back. Just remember that people in weak positions take low shots. Step dad was obviously just trying to hurt you, but also, if you can't take it don't dish it out!

He just said that due to your words...he probably does deep down but wanted to make you feel what he felt...

Well you should have never disrespected him in the first place. It's hard enough he has to try and be a dad. Now he has to be put down by the kid he's try to father.

Uhhhh... nope. Just because he's a step-parent, that doesn't mean he's a good one. Mine was emotionally and physically abusive, and tried to establish a relationship out of fear with me. Should I respect her because she "tried"? No, I shouldn't, because of all of the fear and emotional damage that came out of it. If OP "disrespected" his step-father, there was probably a good reason for it.

No. No decent parent deliberately inflicts emotional (or other) wounds on any child, no matter how they're behaving. A parent's role is to model appropriate behaviour (among other things). His response was cruel and inappropriate.

Your step dad is a proven asshole to what you have already thought about him in the first place by coming back with that remark not knowing the circumstances of your real parents as to why they had given you up in the first place. Now I don't know for certain if you refer to "step dad" as in your adoptive father or adoptive mothers boyfriend and not the initial man she may have been with at the time of your adoption. If its from column B, you have a mother that I assume loves you regardless if you're not her biological child. If its column A... Same thing applies unless your step dad really does love you and what you have told him in disagreement hurt him to respond like that. Some how I don't sense that is the case though and he really is a terrible father to you. I am sorry to read that OP.

Pretty good comeback stepdad, kudos

Doesn't adopted mean that they do love you, if they chose you to be their family?? Sorry OP.

That, in my book, is grounds for an ass kicking. That was the most jack-ass move I have ever heard of. Tell your mother and if she doesn't believe you then you need to move in with your dad (if you can). That man needs to be put in his place.

Well, is what he said true?
