Almost done

Today, it's my 17th birthday, and the first birthday since my mother died, leaving me to live with my previously-absent father. He gave me pretzels and a laser pointer, and said, "Happy birthday, fuckstick." One more year… FML
I agree, your life sucks 70 600
You deserved it 3 447

As much as his own fuckstick is the reason you're here in the first place, I feel he could've handled this a little better.

I can't believe anyone would say you deserve this, you DONT. Happy late birthday

First couple of years suck but they get better and it will be much better once you don't have to deal with him just keep your chin up and remember the good things

Happy birthday! I hope someone will spoil you!!

Happy Birthday, and sorry to hear about the loss of your mom, I'm sorry your dad is being a ******* asshole, literally. Hope you had a good birthday

Parents can be either saintly, mental or right dicks, or even swap between the lot. I moved out when i was 18, since then I've been studying and am now finishing my second year at university, and getting paid as a professional illustrator. You don't need them to be successful.

Aahh I think that's the saddest fml I've ever heard (tear drop)

happy birthday OP! you hang in there!

I know this post is old, but my heart went out to you when I read this. I had two drug addict parents who showed me time and time again that they'd prefer to choose drugs over me. I do think I ultimately turned into a better, stronger person because of it all, but that took a decade to really accept. Until then, I couldn't help but notice that I lacked something everyone takes for granted: the love of their parents. Comparatively, my best friend was completely shattered when her otherwise perfect parents divorced. Having given her the idea that they were infallible, showing their flaws messed up her idea of the universe. See, OP, nothing can really shatter us like that since we began life with the worst. It can only get better from here. Stay strong. You'll get through this.
