Today, my dad casually mentioned my half-sister in conversation. He had her out of wedlock when he was only 13. NEWS TO ME, HE'S NEVER MENTIONED I HAVE A HALF-SISTER BEFORE AND I'M FREAKING 22 YEARS-OLD. Apparently he and mom thought I knew, and just forgot to tell me. FML

Today, my half-sister lied and told my mom I got a girl at school pregnant. My mom is unreasonable at the best of times, but after a full hour trying to get me to name this nonexistent girl, she's calling every parent from school to check if their daughters are hiding a secret pregnancy. FML

Today, my estranged, alcoholic father decided to tell me I have a sister. After 30 mins of him describing how beautiful she is and how much we look alike and how she has lived one town away from me her entire life, I was excited to the point of tears. Too bad she died a year ago. Thanks dad. FML

that's messed up. especially because it sounds like he didn't care enough about her to have her in his life

I honestly cannot see ANY 13 year old boy being in any way prepared to handle having a child. I am curious how old the mother was and if the baby was put up for adoption but found her bio parents later.

it doesn't matter though. he became an adult yet still ignored the child. my mom was 16 when she had me and my dad was 19. they both stepped up to the plate and raised me.

Hurt is by Trent Reznor (Nine Inch Nails). Johnny Cash covered it.

My family shares that kind of trait. No, they didn't "forget"... they hoped you'd not find out.

Well considering that they wanted to wait until you were more mature to handle the situation. You 22 not 42. I'm not sure how many people would have handled it well in their teens. Given that your reaction was " im 22 years old!" maybe they should have waited.
