Today, I saw that my biological father took his two favorite daughters on a luxury cruise to celebrate his birthday. I didn't find out until the pictures were posted. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I looked at my sister's Instagram story, and saw her, my brother, and my father all on a family road trip to Reno without me. I wasn't told anything about it. FML
Today, and after a lot of effort to reconnect with my family after a while of limited contact, I found out from the family group text that my mom, sister, and grandmother went on a vacation without me, and I didn’t even know about it until they posted some airport selfies. FML
Today, I decided to visit my dad. I haven't seen him in a while so I wanted to give him another chance to be an actual dad to me. Apparently, getting drunk and getting it on with his girlfriend while I was there was more important than spending time with his daughter, who he hasn't seen in almost a year. FML
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
Today, my dad has gone to two different relatives’ weddings in two different states this month alone. I also found out about his big birthday celebration, his BBQ and his trip to Vegas. I saw it all on Facebook. I’ve not been invited to anything, and he never visits me. I live an hour away. FML
Today, I looked at my father's Facebook for the first time in a month to see a status saying, "Making wedding plans!" Really? When was he planning on telling his own daughter? FML
Today, I found out that my dad paid for my sister's friend's airplane ticket so she could attend my sister's wedding. I would have been there myself, but I couldn't afford the airplane ticket. FML
Today, I found out that my father, who very recently lost his wife, decided that drunkenly hitting on my long-time boyfriend's mom was a good idea. FML
Today, I found out that my husband proposed to his girlfriend, and that her mom had posted it on Facebook. FML
Today, two days before my birthday, my parents drove three hours to visit me at school and take me out to lunch. I assumed that it was to celebrate my birthday. They told me they are getting divorced. FML

I'm not sure that's the case since he took them for his birthday.

Maybe he thought you wouldn't be able to go so he didn't ask to keep you from wishing you could go. He should have asked though if that is why he didn't. Still suprised you didn't find out from your sisters sooner

There is only one course of action for retaliation. Delete his Netflix watch list!

So, the way this is phrased, I am going to go out on a limb that you have different mothers and you live with your mother whereas they live with your father and that you're not very close to the 'favorite sisters'. Any chance they paid for the cruise? Or, if you don't get along with them and there's hostility between you, I can understand why you wouldn't have been invited if it was their family holiday - though, I do agree. My dad's been on holidays with his new family (who I'm not close with, but also haven't had any issues with) and he hasn't even mentioned it to me, so it does suck and he should've mentioned this to you regardless.

The fact that you call him ‘my biological father’ indicates there’s much more to this story than is presented here.
