By Anonymous - This FML is from back in 2016 but it's good stuff

Today, I went to my stepdad's funeral. He was the most important person in my life, but it didn't stop my stepsister angrily saying, "Why are you crying? He wasn't even your real dad." FML

I get that she's upset and all, but what a bitchy thing to say! There's more to being a dad than being a sperm donor. So probably a real dad in any sense of it. Sorry for your loss as OP.

My stepdad raised my sister and me, so I completely understand. Our biological father has such a minor role in our lives that he's obsolete. My stepdad is my Dad. I'm sorry for your loss.

Don't let your step-sister's bitchy attitude make a bad day even worse. Your step-dad clearly meant a lot to you; you're allowed to be sad about his passing. No one can take that away from you.

He may not have been my real dad but you are a real bitch. I would've said that and walked away.

I'm sorry for your loss, OP. I lost my step father three years ago. My half sister, his daughter, said something similar to me. Death is such a horrible time, making people say such vicious things. Hopefully she took it back & apologized.

You should've said that you were crying because it wasn't her in the casket

My step dad is currently dying from lung cancer, expected to pass any day now, and he was a better dad to me than my father ever was. I'm sorry for your loss.

Im so sorry. Mine too.. Lung cancer as well. We'll be lucky to get another 2 months. It sucks.

Grief can make people not think clearly. If she is young or this is the first death of somebody close to her that she has experienced it may be especially confusing for her. When a good friend of mine died another friend reacted by lashing out at people, blaming people when it made no sense at all, etc. She just had never experienced grief like that and it was overwhelming.

I disagree. Anyone can make a baby but any some people are dads. My sisters are all half sisters but my dad has treated them lien his own. They have never felt like step sisters to me

I'm very sorry for your loss, OP. Your real dad is the one that loved and took care of you. Your (step) dad knew he was your real dad. Your stepsister can't take that away from you.

I'm sorry op. I get it. This fml hit pretty close to home... My step dad is currently dying of cancer. It breaks my heart that such a loving and caring man is going to lose his life while my "real" dad is a deadbeat loser!! People really need to learn that step doesn't mean less than. My step dad loves me like his own daughter and that is the mark of a true man!!!

I lost my dad (step dad) in September, but he was the one who was there and raised me. ?? To me he was my father.
