Today, while mourning my friend's recent passing, my dad told me to shut the fuck up because "worse things are going on in the world". FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I told a co-worker to "lighten up, and stop wearing black all the time, it makes you look depressed." I didn't know his father had died the week before. FML
Today, while crying at my grandma's funeral, I was told to "man up". FML
Today, my dad told me, in the form of a soliloquy, to have a better attitude about death and dying. I have terminal cancer. FML
Today, I decided to open up to my friends about losing my dad last year. To my horror, all they could do was laugh at and mock me, all because I said that he "unalived" himself. FML
Today, it was dad’s funeral and I intended to speak but I was crying so much I couldn’t finish and mom had to help me back to my seat. Unfortunately, most of our family are arseholes and I could hear someone saying, “Disgraceful, shaming his dad like that.” It was the worst day of my entire life. FML
Today, I tried to tell my dad that I was really struggling with my mental health and didn't think I could stay alive much longer. He laughed. This comes after telling my "best friend" last week and having to wait three days for a reply. FML
Today, my dad stood by and nodded in agreement as my sister told me that my clinical depression is "getting REALLY old." FML
Today, I learned that now that my mom is dead, and my dad doesn't need my emotional support during her illness anymore, he's going to go back to insulting me every time he talks to me. FML
Today, my mom walked in on me crying in my room and yelled at me for being a "weak little crybaby." I’d just found out my best friend died in a car accident. When I told my mom that, she said, "Does it look like I fucking care?" FML
Today, after my cousin recently died, my aunt basically told me that I shouldn't be sad, because we fought. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Insensitive much?
Damian95 16
OP's father's attitude is one of those things.
lennelleong 33
Yeah, OP should ask her dad if she too should suck it up when he passes away, just because!
AshleyScruggs 14
27, OP is a male, but other than that, you're right. Sorry OP, your father is a major douche, and sorry about your friend. Stay strong.
Lacist 19
When did OP state their gender?
xBethanyC 15
That was really inconsiderate of your dad.. I know how it feels to lose someone you truly care about and honestly I would rather endure any other torture than lose someone close to my heart. I'm sorry for your loss, OP..

OP's gender is noted in the FML's information bar. And what does the gender have to do with anything?

I recently lost a loved one, I wasnt even a functioning adult during the first two weeks, and still haven't returned to normal. I probably won't ever. That being said, while awful things are happening in the world that may effect us as human beings, most of the time they aren't personable. Feeling sympathy for those going through hard times, and actually going through it are completely different. So it may seem selfish to an outsider because to them it may as well be a crisis over seas. But for you, having an important person in your life taken away is a BIG deal, for YOU. And that is all that matters. Mourn, be angry, ask why.. It's normal, healthy, and definitely not selfish. I'm sorry for your loss, from one un-selfish human being to another.

kick your dad in the shin. when he complains, tell him to suck it up.
depocadoll 15
What a dick.theres nothing worse than losing a loved one, and that's why what's going on in the world is so devastating. Out of control issues that end up killing hundreds of people over ridiculous things. Loved ones are dying all over..

He isn't wrong, he's just an asshole.

Death is the worse thing that can happen.
pheebs314 17
No. Its not. Its the most finite thing that can happen though.
Dallasluver19 14
Yes, Asshole. It is. Please, tell me what's worse than death.
xlord 27
Sitting in a 1by 1 metre room. You are strapped to the chair. No human contact for 2 years and your food being given to you through a chute. The only thing you have for company is a bunch of Justin Biebr cds playing on an infinite loop 24/7.
bluehero 17
Yeah I'd rather die than that, 19.
MrSarcasmic 10
some forms of torture, rape, the holocaust, nuking a nation because you're at war .......
xlord 27
Torture is basically slow death, the holocaust was mass dealings of death, nuking nations causes large amounts of death and the main goal of war is to cause death. Most of what you described is death, buddy.
mcaisse77 17
Being expelled.
CharresBarkrey 16
Death is the only thing in the world you can be certain about.
Blazinthatshit 9
No, torture is the extreme physical abuse of the human body, which can lead to death. Death is seen as a way out for many people being tortured so they embrace it. Torture is not death, death is death.
Blazinthatshit 9
As for the holocaust, I'm pretty sure he meant the emotional part of it. The knowledge that you and your kind is being hunted and tortured for no other reason than your race, group, etc. To some, this is worse than death. Same with "Nuking a nation". The shock you go through and all the traumatic experiences which can lead to mental issues can be worse than death. And no, Idiot, the main reason for war is conquest and the desire to own more and rule over more. Or to defend what is yours.

You're my kind of person, #42.
Brightbulb 40
Surviving when many others beside you did not. I can tell you from experience that I would prefer to have died in a few of my mates' place. Living can often, sadly, be a fate much worse then death. At least those who have passed no longer carry the demons and burdens that only terrible situations can create.
Phyre24 17
I disagree #2, there are much worse things than death.
jedorr07 5
#29 not all who are tortured die. even then, wouldn't you rather die without being tortured. holocaust involved many deaths, but concentration camps were worse. Nuking kills people, but the fallout afterwards would be worse. Think about all sides before posting naive statements.
ZeroPath5 16
Being beheaded. Torture and death put together.
SilencioIsTheKey 12
Hell is. But then again, that isn't in this world.
SilencioIsTheKey 12
@42 I know this is a bit Riddikulus, but your comment Lumos Maxima'd my day.

While researching my family tree I found out a member of my family a couple of hundred years ago tortured his son by feeding him only salted beef and no water. He died of dehydration a few days in.

Doing a poo in a public loo then realising theres no toilet roll is probably up there.
horneyhic 15
For 2 years i could probly do it noing that you will never get out until you die that would make me want to die

What's worse then death is watching a loved one suffer through agonizing pain before a slow painful death. What's worse then death you say? The slow painful last days as someone is fighting cancer and there is no way for them to beat it. What's worse then death you ask? Watching my family suffer. I'd rather have them pass earlier then having to suffer through hell.
imtooshy 18
Your dad is an insensitive goof. So sorry about your friend OP.
KayBo 13
Argh, just because there is someone elsewhere who may have it worse than you, doesn't mean your problems are irrelevant!
olpally 33
Excuse me? What's worse than one of your good friends dying besides your close relatives? What an asshole.
perdix 31
#5, the Glee dude dying, the George Zimmerman verdict, global climate change, Justin Bieber, Justin Bieber's monkey troubles and the Lone Ranger movie. Now that I've put things in their proper perspective, don't you feel better?
olpally 33
No, I feel worse.. And don't mention that singers name again ;(
Nick_Le_Geek 10
Dictatorships, needless hunger, needless war, Hitler, Nazism, terrorism, Justin Bieber, nukes, an alien popping out of your chest, Justin Bieber...
perdix 31
#33, you refer to him as a "singer," or were you referring to George Zimmerman?
olpally 33
The girl bieber and Zimmerman is a tool bag. Stop!!! Lol :/
Lacist 19
Why must you need to add Justin Bieber, he's like any other troubled kid out there, just because he's famous and let his arrogance and money get to him doesn't mean he is just as bad as Hitler and such. It's not like he's killing the world, he's human and all this hate must have gotten to him at some point.. I don't like him so don't say I'm a fanboy or anything, it's just the fact that people act as if he isn't human, as if instead of a stupid teenager, he is some devil who should die. Where is the empathy, sorry for the rant once again.
mn_shr 22
The fact that you said all this in honor of Justin Bieber didn't help you much #56.
Lacist 19
Did you not notice how I called him troubled, arrogant, and let the hateful media get to him? Doesn't mean I adore or despise him.
DrSo 15
At least you feel emotion. What an insensitive prick.
MzZombicidal 36
I'm so sorry for your loss, OP. I'm also sorry that you're stuck with a douchebag of a dad. I hope you have someone you CAN talk to, though...
Latino_Nino 10
Tell him to shut the f*ck up because he's one of the worse things going on in the world
angelitared 27
Your dads a heartless SOB!
revolution4ever 14
Your dad is a prick. Sorry op for your loss and the family's loss.
SuperPandaSwagg 10
Your daddy has no heart. I'm sorry for your loss OP. Mourn (and if yiu have to, cry) all you need to cause it makes you feel better and it's not healthy to keep all that stuff in.
