Family guy

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.

Part of me wants to say I'm sure it's just her grief talking, and people will say all kinds of things they don't mean in a situation like that. I also feel like I want to say ignore what your step sister said, even though it's easier said than done. I hope she does apologize to you. but give her time. Sorry for your loss, OP.

Grief can make people say and do things that are out of character for them. Don't hold it against her but also don't be afraid to let her know you're hurting too! Sorry for your loss.

Why the f... would OP deserve this? I really don't get why some FML's have so many votes saying YDI. I am very sorry for your loss, OP. I know what it is like to lose someone close to you. Stay strong!

The buttons are really close together on mobile, and it's not that hard to accidentally click while scrolling. It's happened to me. Also some people really are just unsympathetic assholes

ouch I never do that to my sister who we share the same mother with but not same father my dad is so nice that my nieces and nephew are his grand kids no questions asked

Any male can be a father but it takes a real man to be a dad. Family is more than blood

How rude! Blood doesn't mean anything. I'm closer to my stepdad than my biological father, so I can understand. Not to mention the fact that anyone is allowed to be upset for losing someone they care about! Sorry for your loss, OP. :(

that's truly awful. Clearly the two of you were very close, and I'm so sorry that you've lost him. People can be mean when they're hurt too, I hope you get an apology soon enough. Stay strong, OP. x

In the words of Bobby Singer, "Family don't end with blood, boy." Sorry for your loss OP
