Today, I told my parents I no longer believe in the religion they strictly raised me under. They responded by kicking me out of the house. I'm broke, jobless, and the only person that will take me in is my psycho ex-girlfriend who never got over me. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my parents threatened to kick me out of the house if I didn't agree to convert to their new brand of Christianity. This is a day after they ranted at me about how I should speak my mind more and not let myself be controlled by other people. FML
Today, I came out to my therapist as gay. Claiming that my parents "can't be that homophobic", my therapist outed me to them. They kicked me out of the house. FML
Today, my sister came out as lesbian and my parents kicked her out of the house. I was also kicked out for supporting her. FML
Today, I finally mustered up the courage to tell my overly-religious parents that I'm an agnostic. They asked me why. As soon as I gave my reasons, my mom called me a "bigot" and hurled a bible at me, and it nailed me in the crotch. She then said, "That's what you get, non-believer." FML
Today, my tiny apartment flooded. My family lives out of state and the few friends I have all gave me B.S. excuses for why I can't stay over for a few nights. I'm so broke this month that I'll probably have to hit up my psycho ex. FML
Today, my parents disowned me because I threw out my wife and son after I found out that the kid wasn't mine. According to them, I'm a "heartless asshole." FML
Today, I was kicked out of my aunt's house for being 15 minutes late for her to pick me up. She told me she doesn't want me to come home and left me in a panicked mess. My sister and brother are on her side and refuse to talk to me. I'm now couch surfing. FML
Today, I decided it was a good day to get my first tattoo since turning 18. Today, my parents decided it was a good day to make me homeless, because they are religious nutjobs that still live in the 19th century. Oh, and they’re no longer paying for my tuition. FML
Today, I went to my parents' house after escaping my abusive relationship. My mom scoffed and said, “This is what happens when you move out, barely graduated high school, with a bum.” When I told her I was 3 months pregnant, she said, “And a child out of wedlock? You’re a lost case!” and slammed the door in my face. FML
Today, my mother kicked me out of the house because her new boyfriend needs my room. Evidently he also needs my credit card, passport, and wallet too, because she kept all three, while tossing everything else out on the lawn. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I'm all for standing up for one's beliefs, but if you knew your parents were that strict on their own, you should have at least waited until you were financially stable to say anything.

The real question is why are YOU talking to her?

I'm really sorry about that OP. Your parents are awful. but good for you for not falling victim to their brainwashing. My siblings weren't as lucky. I currently have to go to confirmation, and hopefully they'll stop caring about what I believe in once that's over. If I could just tell my family about my beliefs without angering them, then I would do it in a heartbeat.

Often, it's not what is said, it's how it's said.

This had convinced me to never tell my parents I'm Buddhist and not Christian anymore dude. Thanks a lot -.-

On the bright side, not everyone's parents are douchebags. ...Hopefully.

I feel like OP condemned his parents, or said something that really upset them, rather than a simple "I don't believe in this". Plus he could've just gone for the "I'm still young and thinking about religion" route. Not entirely lying, and he would've gotten his parents off his back (until he got a job, and a house.) while still being fair to himself. It's the parents house, and OP is jobless. Depending on his age, they should have kicked him out anyway, or did he just want to start an argument and not have to sacrifice anything? Though I do know some parents who are actually crazy, YDI in this case.

149 - Epic quote that works perfectly. xD And what does your job have to do with it, Op? Were you unemployed to begin with, perhaps?

You have no job, no girlfriend and you live with your parents. Ticking them off is a bad idea unless you'd fancy being homeless. Crazy girlfriend saved your butt, so shut up and get a job and an apartment, don't sit around posting on the internet. Oi.

Aww.. the OPs situation sucks, but I feel bad for the ex girlfriend.. its mean to insult her but still rely on her to take you in and be nice to you.. I don't think the OP should take advantage of someone who he feels not even true friendship for.. :-S
