Today, when I was unpacking all of my stuff, my parents declared that they are going to live in Australia, and have found me a 'friend'. I am a 14 year old girl at boarding school, and my friend is my new foster mum. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I found out that my over-controlling parents would be moving in next door. I'm almost 23, and moved 5,365 km away to get away from them. FML
Today, the boy I have crush on at school announced that his family were moving to Australia. My friend thought that it would be funny to spread a rumour that I was moving too, in order to follow him. Everyone has heard it, and unfortunately everyone believes it, including him. FML
Today, I found out about my parent's divorce over Facebook from my sister who lives 8 hours away in another province. They made the decision 3 weeks ago. I live with my parents. FML
Today, I moved in with my friend and her husband so we can be roommates during school. Today is also the day they decided to get a divorce. It's going to be a long year. FML
Today, I borrowed my adopted mom's laptop and found out that either her, my dad, or both of them, have been trying to research legal ways of un-adopting me and giving me back to the foster care system. FML
Today, my flatmate moved in with me. Unfortunately, unbeknownst to me, so did her mother. FML
Today, my parents said that we're moving back to Los Angeles. I'm so fucking pissed off because in the couple of years since we moved to a tiny town, I've become a different person and love my new life. This is just completely undoing everything I've been through and they won't let me move in with my new best friend. FML
Today, after eighteen years of living with my adoptive parents, I met my biological mum for the first time. She's a forty year old, 300lb American woman who wears 'Twilight' t-shirts and will be spending the rest of her visit to the UK trying to find Robert Pattinson. She says I remind her of herself. FML
Today, I found out my mother had remarried, and that I was getting a stepfather and stepbrother. However, I found out about it 30 minutes before we left to pick them up from the airport, and also found out that I'm losing my bedroom. FML
Today, after telling my parents just exactly what I thought of them and that I was moving out, the person I was supposed to move in with called to say they'd decided they would rather live alone. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

This is awful. I hope you find some other adults that you can be close to and take an interest in you. Please remember that this about them and not you; it's their selfishness and neglect, not because you are not a worthwhile person. I am so sorry to hear this.

well, once they settle there, send them a big box of cookies, make them yourself, add whatever you wish to add.

I grew up in the foster care system. From what i know, the system doesn't just take in children for no reason. They would much prefer to placed them with other relatives.

I agree w/#188, screw those D-Bags, you're better off without them. I know a few parents I'd call $hittee that would still chew off their own arm fast enough to jump in front of a bus to save their kids. You may not know this, but you're cutting your losses early on. Good on ya.

202, you seem to have missed the point. the OP is NOT going to Australia. Her PARENTS are going to Australia. WITHOUT her. How nice of you to let her know how awesome the place she's NOT going to is. Evidently her parents think that it's far more awesome than she is! *growls* OP, saying you're better off without them is very cold comfort indeed, but in this case I can't help but believe it's true. People that selfish and that self-absorbed CANNOT be good for you. If they'd talked to you and you'd said "hey, I don't WANT to uproot myself and move across the world, I want to stay here!" that would be one thing, but ditching you? Very low, and very much NOT your fault. It can be freeing - sad, but freeing - to realize that a flawed relationship is NOT your fault but rather the other person not trying or being incapable of connecting. I hope you are able to realize that in this situation, it's not you that's at fault. Repeat that till you believe it.
