Today, within one day of meeting me, my stepmom decided to break up with my dad. Her reason being, "I love you, but I just can’t put up with the kid." I’m 'the kid'. I’m 28 years-old. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my dad's new wife, who is two years younger than me (I'm 24) and hates that I'm a lesbian, threw a fit when I told her that I would never call her Mom. My dad took her side. I don't live with them but still… FML
Today, the love of my life, who I’ve finally been able to date after so long, broke up with me. I met her parents for the first time and they don’t approve of me dating her due to our age gap. She’s 18 and I’m 36. Apparently they don’t understand that she’s a consenting adult and can make her own choices. FML
Today, I met my soon-to-be step mother. My dad was right, we had a lot in common. Including our birth year. FML
Today, the man who fired me from my job became my stepfather. FML
Today, after meeting the love of my life two weeks ago and moving him in to start our life together, my kids have run off to live with their dads. Apparently they are “not dealing with another new dad.” FML
Today, I found out I am pregnant. I hooked up with my step-dad not that long ago while my mom was out of town. I'm 30 and he wants to tell my mom my baby is his, and I like the idea of telling her, but also know she won’t take it well. FML
Today, my girlfriend broke up with me. Why? Her six year-old likes me more than her. I hate kids. I stayed with her in spite of her son, because I love her. For some reason she thought I was going to leave her and take her kid with me, so she broke up with me first. FML
Today, my dad told me he has been dating my boyfriend's mom while I was away at college. They have gotten pretty serious, and are thinking about getting married. I might be dating my stepbrother. FML
Today, I pretended to be sleeping when my dad came to check on me. I’m not talking to him. Why? Because my mom died in January and he already has a girlfriend he says he wants to marry, she's going to be my step-mom. I’m 31. FML
Today, my parents disowned me because I told them I don’t want kids. FML

Well, sounds like she just needed an excuse.

Stepmom implies they’re already married. She’s willing to divorce your dad because of you, a 28 year old who must live a ways away if this is the first time you’re meeting? She’s making excuses.

Be glad she didn't give your dad the ultimatum, "Either the kid goes or I do!" You coulda been orphaned.

What happened at this first meeting? Are you still living at home or super close where she feels like you’d be an interference? She’s still a bitch for handling it the way she did. Even if she was just looking for an excuse. That’s not fair to place on the kid though, no matter the age. A grown child is even worse.

I lived at home until I was 25. My parents allowed me to stay rent free so long as I was in school. As soon as I got my degree I moved out. OP could be in a similar arrangement.

Lol, what's wrong with living with your parents?

Nothing wrong with living at home.

Either you’re leaving out a chuck of information or she wanted to leave your dad all along. Either way sorry.

Sounds like you did your dad a favor.
