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.

Being from the UK too, I can't imagine they'd get away with doing something like this. It'd shock me if this sort of thing was legal, however there could be a whole lot more to it that we do not know about.

Um, how is this an FML? If she has such shitty parents in the first place, she should be glad to get away from them. Hell, this is like the turning point of her life.

The most ****** up part about this FML is that your parents couldn't just wait a few years until you were an adult.

Wow. OP, I'm really sorry to hear that. It's got to be one of the worst things I've ever read of a parent doing to a child. Here's the deal though: Australia is positively lousy with all kinds of poisonous and deadly pests. Just get on your knees every night and pray for justice against those buttholes. -- just kidding -- In the meantime, living well is the best revenge, so graduate with the highest grades you can possibly get, go to college or some kind of post-high school training, and become a success despite them and their horrible priorities. Then, just be happy and know that no matter how awful they are, they will have to live with what they did to you forever. One day, maybe they'll even ask you to understand or forgive, and that day, you'll be able to say whatever you want to to them.

what, do you think we all live out in the bush? but i do agree with your second paragraph. the best way to say **** you to someone is to be successful and happy with your own life, and show them that you don't need them. i sincerely hope this fml is fake, but if it's not, i hope you can summon up the courage to rebuild your life to be bigger and better than before :).

Reread it. Maybe the OP would love to move there too, but that's not an option they've been given.
