Today, my dad asked to borrow some money off me, so I said okay. Later on, he told me he'll be using it to help divorce my mom. I pretty much just helped pay for my parents' divorce. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I had to dig into my savings to help my parents pay for their divorce. FML
Today, I found out that my dad has been trying to take money out of my savings account to pay for divorce fees and a hammock. FML
Today, my dad asked me to lend him some money to buy his medication, since he's all but broke right now. He returned with nothing but a bottle of tequila. FML
Today, my mom cleaned out my bank account, saying my "no-good dad" owes her child support and that she'll get it one way or another. FML
Today, my mom asked me to take my dad's mail to him. The "mail" was divorce papers. FML
Today, my mom and my step dad decided they're getting a divorce. They've been married for 2 weeks and I paid for a quarter of the wedding. FML
Today, my mom let it slip that she was divorcing my dad. After making me promise to keep it from him and my little sisters, she had me help her with her plans to renovate the house. She intends to kick him out once it's done. FML
Today, I had to sell my wedding ring to help me pay for my divorce. FML
Today, I realized that when my dad said he would pay for my college, he really meant that he was going to forge my signature on a student loan in my name and not make payments on it. FML
Today, I finally told my dad that he owes me over 400 dollars, and that I need it or else I'd get kicked out of my apartment. He only gave me 70 and said to get a better job. FML

FYL OP, it's not your fault though. They were going to divorce anyways and you didn't know what he was going to use the money for

So does it suck, or is it ok? Stop being so indecisive!

OP, If it's what your parents feel is the right thing to do, then let it be. They are obviously doing it because they don't feel like they should be together anymore, and to be honest OP, if that's the case, it would be better that way. It would save the need for countless fights just because there is no love anymore. And don't forget OP, no matter what, they are still your parents, and nothing such as their love for you will change.

28 that would be the case unless the child was the reason for their divorce and they continue to bring it up and blame it on him. Just speaking from experience. My Dad never misses a chance to call or whenever I visit him to just let me know how I ****** up his marriage.

52, that's not your fault. You're their child, they chose to have you, so if I were you, I wouldn't accept that it could possibly be my fault. But sorry to hear anyway.

Well... It might be if said mother doesn't like the OP and wants to get away from him.

I'm pretty sure OP didn't realize there was an issue...

I'm pretty sure he/she did. It's really hard to hide problems big enough to end a marriage.

True. My family's going through some issues now. I just remember hearing divorce first when I was 8. Flash forward 12 years and i'm listening to the same broken record

Call it theft and report him. He will have no money to divorce her then. But for your benefit, he will live in misery

Wait...what? Are you actually suggesting that OP turn his father in (even though he did NOTHING wrong) and risk having him become a felon, just because he wants to get a divorce? Are you actually that shortsighted (by that I mean "stupid")?
RavagedSouI 0
By your standard yes I suppose, but perhaps my sense of humor has disappeared from the Internet. I see no harm in being silly on the net since here I am known by no one. The problem just begins with anonymity.

If your comment was meant to be silly, I apologise. I must have forgotten to turn on my sarcasm-o-meter when I woke up this morning.

If he doesn't have enough money to pay for it himself you should take the money back. If it's his problem then he should deal with it himself,. Not bring you more into it.
