Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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'm sorry to hear it. But I feel your pain. My parents used me and my sister as weapons to hurt each other till the day they died.

Maybe they are sharing custody ( 50/50). It's easier than one fighting for full custody.

So, I take it that you wrote this from a box. On a serious note, I sincerely hope that things look up for you. Show them that you are worthy -- not by begging them, of course -- but by making yourself happy and successful. That's the ticket. |the kid|

I think that is a good thing. Just because they divorced doesn't mean they don't live you. Perhaps by not "fighting" over custody they both felt like whichever of them was awarded custody would treat you right. Loving parents wouldn't want to drag their kids thru the mud! Maybe you should try asking them.

Sorry op, it's a shame we can't pick our parents. Get your revenge by putting them in a home when they're older!
