Today, I met my son for the first time since I had to put him up for adoption over two decades ago. I wanted to make amends and get to know him. Instead, all I got to know was how well he can throw a punch. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I met my biological father for the first time. He seemed to be slightly intoxicated from the outset, and less than half an hour later, he had tried to intimidate me into "loaning" him several hundred euros for reasons he wouldn't tell me. So long, "dad". FML
Today, I saw my son. I didn't know I had a son. 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, after I spent years, and thousands of dollars, searching for my birth father, he changed his mind about adopting me. FML
Today, I located my birth dad and asked him why I was put into care. Turns out my mom died, and since he hadn’t wanted me in the first place, he just gave me away and hoped to never see me again. He didn’t even invite me in, he threw a beer at me and threatened to call the cops unless I left. FML
Today, my son tried to fight my husband, his step-dad, who knocked him to the floor with one good punch. I was ready to throw my husband out, but an hour later they were having a heart-to-heart, and now they get along better than they ever have. HUH?!! FML
Today, after an ex let me know I have a 19 year old-son. I was beyond excited so I spent the weekend with them and I can tell you now, the boy is a complete prick, and I prefer to continue to claim I’m childless rather than admit I fathered that arrogant, rude, selfish, entitled little shit. FML
Today, I met my biological parents for the first time. Their justification for giving me up for adoption was that I wasn't conceived at the ideal time for them. Apparently, the ideal time was six months after the adoption, when they conceived the first of my two brothers. FML
Today, I lashed out at the father of my son for not doing anything for the baby. He replied, “I never did shit for you to begin with, didn’t you watch the preview? You knew what you were getting yourself into.” FML
Today, my mom told me that she had great news: we were going to meet my biological parents. I didn't know I was adopted. FML

You're right, he should've left him in a dumpster.

Maybe you shouldn't have dumped him in one of the most abusive systems in America

Why the **** are there so many YDI's on this one? You people jumping to conclusions giving shit to the op ******* SUCK!!! You don't know op's story, you don't know why he had to give up his son, don't jump to a ******* convlusion to a story you don't even ******* know. **** off, wankers! To all the adopted people saying "i would do the same thing", you're just as ungrateful as the people saying YDI! To #172 Good for you, do you want a ******* medal for being a douchebag to other people? Shame on you! To #173, Who the hell are you to define who is their son or not? That's right, you're nobody in that department. The comment on this FML are one on the WORST of FML comments!

YDI having your child adopted is fine as long as you don't be a douche and let them know you still care about them. But when you haven't talked to them in 20 years what do you expect?

Why are there so many YDIs? We don't know the OP's circumstances of how why he had to give his son up so you can't say he gave him up because he didn't want his son. He said he wanted to make amends, so he deserves a punch in the face?
