Heart-wrenching

By number2 - This FML is from back in 2009 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, it hit me that my dad didn't cry when I moved out, he did so only when I came back later to pick up my cat. FML

Maybe it was delayed reaction. Maybe it didn't really sink in until you took the cat. Maybe you showing up made him realize he missed you more than he expected. Lots of ways this could happen without it meaning he loved the cat more than you.

Did you ever think that you taking the cat was a signified a permanent thing? That moving out is one thing, taking EVERYTHING you own and LOVE, IE the cat means you are really gone. And I didn't know parents where supposed to cry when their kids moved out?

Your dad doesn't miss you because you were a mistake.

You can't blame him. The man can't be seperated from a pussy.

This happened to me too. My dad didn't cry when I went off to college, but when I took Tigger, his "little buddy" to live with me in my first apartment, Dad got misty eyed. When I brought Tigger back three weeks later because he howled all night long, Dad RAN outside, flung open my car door and started hugging...the cat. He forgot to tell me hello.
