Today, I tried to contact my birth mother, who abandoned me when I was three weeks old. After months of tracing, I finally plucked up the courage to call her. She told me to "f*ck off and die". FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I found the phone number of my biological mother after years of searching for her, and gave her a call. I introduced myself by name and said, "I'm your daughter." There was a pause at the other end, followed by, "The one I aborted or the one I gave away?" FML
Today, I talked to my birth mother for the first time in over 26 years. Five minutes into our conversation, I remembered why I stayed away. 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, I called my mom to tell her that I'm coming over for a visit. She answered: 'Why? What do you need? Food? Money? I'm not going to help you! You're a grown woman!' And she hung up. I just found out that I'm pregnant and she was the first person I wanted to share it with. FML
Today, I ran into my aunt I hadn’t seen since I was a child. My mom told me she took off and stopped speaking to everyone. After lunch, I asked her why she left. She said our whole family ostracized her for aborting her abusive husband’s baby and divorcing him instead of "making it work." FML
Today, I summoned the courage to call my abusive mother-in-law about her non-payment of the money I stupidly lent her last year. She replied, "Why don't you go deepthroat a cactus, then we'll talk about it, cunt." and then hung up on me. FML
Today, I finally located all seven of my younger siblings, who I abandoned to foster care when I was 15, after our parents were deported back to Mexico. Each and every one of them told me to fuck off. FML
Today, my mom was screaming at me and said, "I wish I'd never adopted you." I guess I'm adopted then. 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, I tracked down my long-lost daughter after losing her to foster care 26 years ago when I was on drugs. I knocked on her door and introduced myself, going in for a hug. She maced me and physically kicked me back into the hall, threatening a restraining order if I ever spoke to her again, and slammed the door. FML

Well, consider yourself lucky that she didn't raise you.

You said she abandoned you? If she abandoned you, not just gave you up, but ABANDONED you, then why did you even want to find her? I guess I can understand the morbid curiosity and wanting to meet your biological mother, but are you really surprised at her response if she ABANDONED you? That really really sucks for you, and I'm sorry, but you kinda walked right into that one.

I agree. That is absolutely horrible. You said it yourself, OP, that she abandoned you. Don't be upset she told you this, be relieved. She didn't raise you, and you're better off for it. She's not worth the time and effort.

I think that the mom isn't all in the wrong. for all we know she could have thought that op was just someone messing with her and she yelled at him because it was a touchy subject for her.

#1 - Just what I was thinking. Maybe it's not the best thing to hear, but at least OP knows now, and can move on.

As horrible as it is, what did you expect from someone who "abandoned you when you were 3 weeks old"? I know, some parents do it because they don't have the funds, but I wouldn't really be surprised if the bitch turned out to be just that...a bitch.

Indeed, it was horrible. But that's when OP should have replied back by saying, "B____! I turned out so flipping amazing, no thanks to you! Have fun with your life!" Then, hang up.

I'm sorry that happened; I'm sure it's very hurtful. But, as #1 said, be thankful she didn't raise you...

Why trace for months? After several practice runs, I'm sure you would have been able to draw a semi-decent picture.

Sorry to ball bust but you don't know that she did. OP could've been in foster care her/his entire life or raised by a horrible foster family.

I just think that's ironic and kinda karma. maybe the mom was having a bad day. I'm not trying to justify that this is a good thing, but I think there was a reason the mom gave OP up. she didn't want her.

just like your the reason people invented headache medication? seriously "the mum might have been having a bad day" who gives a ****? she just told her bio son to f off and die. no one rly cares about her. just like u ;) have fun being a constant pmsing menstrual bitch, picking on the unfotunate, I do hear a rag works however, try it.
