Today, I texted my mom asking how she was doing. Apparently she's great, and on her honeymoon. I didn't know she was getting married, or that my parents had just gotten divorced. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I found out that my mom and dad got a divorce. They didn't tell me, they just changed their relationship status on Facebook. FML
Today, my mom called asking for advice on how to flirt with her personal trainer. I thought she was joking and asked her what Dad would think. Turns out they're getting divorced. They decided this three weeks ago. No one told me. FML
Today, my dad asked me to send my mom a text since he was driving and I was in the passenger seat. I pulled up my mom's contact on his phone, and I found that my mom had recently sent my dad a picture of her jugs, along with the message, "We miss you." FML
Today, I got a text from my mom that said, “I’m so proud of you!” I immediately replied, “Thanks, Mom!” Then I realized it was meant for my sister, and my mom had accidentally texted me instead of her. FML
Today, my boyfriend proposed. I was about to call my parents and tell them we're getting married, but they called me first to announce they're getting a divorce. FML
Today, I checked my mom's email to track a package I'm waiting to receive. Instead, I found out my mom canceled the order, and that my parents are getting a divorce and have been fighting via email for weeks. FML
Today, my mom finally learned how to text. Now it's her way of communicating, even when we're in the same room. FML
Today, I texted my dad and told him I was getting married in five months. His reply? "I gotta work that day." FML
Today, I was texting my mother after my boyfriend broke off our relationship. She offered incredibly supportive replies such as "No, really?" and "Aww, that sucks." before apparently getting bored and claiming she had to go because her "text reception" was breaking up. FML
Today, I returned home from my honeymoon and met my dad for coffee. He told me he's been seeing someone and he's so happy. It's my new mother-in-law. They moved in together during my wedding weekend. FML

Maybe the new husband is why they divorced.

my thought too. people do get married awfully soon these days but I think those makes more sense.

The next time you call her, tell her you're on your honeymoon. That will make her understand how inconsiderate she was.

Or maybe op should reach out to their parents more often.

or maybe the parents should reach out to the OP more often. it isnt just a one way thing. and if its such a thing like divorce and remarrying, i think thats the parents job to tell their kids as soon as possible.

alternatively, while it's sad, I assume OP is a grown up and leads her own life. is it that big of a deal. it's mom's life and not really OP's business. -I'm not saying it doesn't suck or that OP didn't deserve to know.

maybe op was in college, and they didn't want her to deal with that kind of stress while trying to study for exams.

I'm sorry try picking up the phone and calling.

Maybe it was a honey moon with your father, some parents can't afford them and now that they're older, they might be able to.

OP,how often do you call your mom? probably going to get a lot of negative from this but sounds like you did deserve it. CALL YOUR MOM :-)

Or her dad, too. He could have informed her of the divorce as well.

That is true. however, I've seen a lot of females not really talk with their dad's.

Lady's* "Females" sounds possessive.
