Today, I thought about how my dad went to get me a Halloween costume and hasn't come home yet. That was 11 years ago. We've moved twice since then. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I went to meet my dad, who I haven't seen in years, at a convenience store. He didn't show up, because the location was "inconvenient." FML
Today, I went to visit my parents after 4 years of not seeing them. They'd moved without telling me. FML
Today, it hit me that my dad didn't cry when I moved out, he did so only when I came back later to pick up my cat. FML
Today, I was handing candy to a little boy who was trick or treating by himself. He was small enough to grab the candy and run past me into my house. I've been searching my house for two hours and still can't find him. I'm afraid to go to sleep. FML
Today, my 3 year old daughter's Halloween costume finally got delivered. FML
Today, I was excited to finally receive my Halloween costume in the mail after the one I ordered back in September got lost in transit. Upon reaching my mailbox, I saw the lock had been broken off and my new costume had been stolen. The party is tomorrow. FML
Today, my son couldn't find all the parts to his Cub Scout uniform. I had a serious talk with him about being prepared, and how he would need to live with the consequences of not having the right outfit on. When we arrived at the meeting, everyone was in costumes because it's Halloween. I forgot. FML
Today, I saw my dad for the first time in ten years. He was stealing my car. 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 was hanging out with a guy for the second time, and he was helping me buy a Christmas present for my dad. I excused myself to go to the bathroom, and when I came out, he was gone. He left me alone and took my dad's present with him. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Maybe he got you a ghost costume, and was too excited so he tried it on. Now he can't get it off, and he's been around you the whole time. :o

Today, after slaving for 11 years on the perfect Halloween costume for my beautiful daughter, I come home to find that they have moved. Twice. FML

How can there possibly be 209 people who think that OP deserved it? How does a kid or his mother ever deserve to be deserted?

He probably bought you a genuine Harry Potter Invisibility Cloak. He came right home and he's been trying to give it to you, but you can't see him.

I'm sorry that happen to you... It would be 17 years on april 1st when my father was murdered by the police because they thought his black water gun looked like a real gun in the dark while walking our new puppy at the time... What made u think about your father leaving? Halloween is seven months from now... Do u have a big event coming up and you wish he was there?

Maybe it's time to realize daddy's gone.. I mean after 11 years come on its clear enough. Some people just don't have common sense these days...
