Today, neither of my parents fought for my custody. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Same thing different taste
Parents of the year
Today, I got to experience the rare pleasure of overhearing my divorcing parents admit that neither of them want full custody of me, or even shared custody, and then planning to guilt one of my grandparents into accepting custody instead. God I hate them both. FML
For the kids
Today, I overheard my parents discussing their divorce. Apparently, what they mostly disagree over is that neither of them want custody of me and are considering delaying their divorce until I’m 18, because at least then legally I’m not either of their problem to deal with. FML
Unstable
Today, I won my custody battle. I wish I could be happy about it, but it strained my current marriage so badly that now I'm going through my second divorce. FML
Today, my mom was put in jail for beating the shit out of my dad. FML
Today, I found out my parents are getting divorced. They're fighting over the dog instead of my sister and me. FML
Today, I was arguing with one of my professors. She said that all married couples fight and I told her that my parents have never argued or fought about anything. When I got home my parents told me that they're getting a divorce. FML
Today, my parents tried to convince me to get a divorce. My wife and I are perfectly fine. FML
Today, I had to dig into my savings to help my parents pay for their divorce. FML
Today, I got fired from my job. I worked for my parents. FML
The Unmatchmaker
Today, my parents found out that I separately convinced them not to get back together, and now they're not speaking to me. FML

i agree. seperation of parents is enough of misery for the child already! their callousness has only made it worse for the poor kid! i feel bad for you, op! people like that should not be allowed to reproduce!

I'm struggling to understand why people are saying they can deserve this. yes op MIGHT have been a handful but you don't know, his parents might have been dicks!

90 - I'd say we don't know enough to say YDI or FYL. How do we know OP doesn't regularly get in fights, steal, get arrested, etc? There's only so much BS a rational person could put up with. I had a student last year (a seventh grader) who had already accumulated over a year in juvie for several assaults on his mother. He broke her arm twice. I know it isn't likely, but we've certainly seen worse on FML.

90- honestly I don't understand it either. My sisters and I were taken away by child protective services when I was 12. My father tried signing away custody, my mother got us back but didn't leave him. When I turned 14 he kicked me out of the house and disowned me as a daughter and my mother did nothing. I never partied, did drugs, I never caused trouble in school-but he still did it. Today, he tries his hardest to contact me and I'll have nothing to do with him. Sometimes there seems to be no reason :( OP, it's up to you to forgive them. But nobody will blame you if you totally remove them from Your life I'm very sorry they did that. You deserve so much better. Stay strong! It's not your fault.

96- I have a volcano and will use it to cover the fire and make the water into steam. OP is mine!

Lol love how everyone is being dicks to the parents. Maybe they're not fighting because they assume OP will want to choose?? OP is old enough to be getting on FML so s/he probably isn't like 5 and too young to be given that decision. Sorry, but I would have loved to choose where I got to live, not everyone's parents RESPECT them enough to let them make that choice. Maybe you think it sucks OP, but it ruins the family more when they fight about what (or who) goes where.

155, I'm guessing that is not the case with OP because he wouldn't be upset over that
simonsaysYDI 8
166, people get upset over things a lot smaller than that. And my point is that it may be a miscommunication, they aren't fighting for OP, because it's OPs choice. It's not like they were fighting to NOT get custody (Or if they were OP didn't say so).

of course its never the kids fault? sometimes parents do everything for their child. A good upbringing and such, but the kid could me lousy! so its not the parents fault, we don't know both sides, but there has to be a HUGE reason why BOTH parents didn't want OP just saying. :D I love freedom of speech, thought i'd throw that in.
humorizer 14
Don't feel bad; it's nothing personal, just business. A child costs a lot of money to raise, so it was in their best business interest to give you to the other one. Unless they get a decent amount of child support from the other; in that case they'd be fighting tooth and nail for you.

Well I have a bomb. Bomb beats all op is mine now.

Yeah cause its just dumb to correct peoples stupid mistakes why cant their be people who dont judge on grammar Probably because it is literally painful to read that. Anybody who disagrees is lying. That is why we must stop the menace that is idiocy in the grammatical field!
mango260 9
You know what I mean.
Ninjasaurus18 9
Everybody, #14 is an idiot, go needs to learn English before they can speak to us!!! It's 'they're', as in the contraction for 'they are'. That could be a mistake to ruin you a chance at a job or college. Same with THEIR'S. Meaning #3.
syley 5
Oh the amount of irony in these corrections is nauseating, by the way 190 it would "needs to go learn" not "go needs to learn." (reread and send)
mango260 9
The bottom line is no ones grammar is perfect :) accept that and move on.
humorizer 14
Mine grammar is impeccably perfection, though.
mango260 9
221- you're joking right? You mean *perfect* not *perfection* see your grammar is not impeccable either :P

223, you're right. He was joking. But while we are on this, you forgot to correct "mine".

Parents these days, finally standing up to their children! We don't know the whole situation but I bet your no angel either for your parents not to take you in.

That's just I feel, who knows what OP did to get it to that point? Parents don't want to deal with that drama anymore and shouldn't have to! That should be wake up call to OP that he/she needs to get his/her act together, and now he/she knows that mommy and daddy are not playing anymore. Sorry I back the parents, kids these days are "somethin"
Pandacupcakelove 26
#10 Parents are supposed to love their kids unconditionally. If they don't, something is wrong, not with the kid but with the parents!
jjessen 20
132 is that really how you feel? In that case, go **** yourself. What if you were in OP's position, you ******* son of a bitch? I bet OP was probably an awesome child, but the parents didn't want him because they were drug addicts or some shit like that. OP deserves better than what his parents did to him. No child should have to go through what OP had to.
kriz_allizwell 6
freedom! oh and btw they dont deserve u...
gingeryginger 1
Its probably because they think your better off with the other parent because they love you
Dadothy 8
I think it's actually the opposite
