Today, both of my grandparents died in a car accident. My Mom and Dad thought it would make me feel better to know they were not my real grandparents, because I'm adopted. FML

Today, I learned I was adopted and that my parents had died in a car accident when I was really young. My girlfriend was sitting next to me when I got the news, and several hours later broke up with me in a text stating, "I don't want to be with someone who doesn't have real parents." FML

Today, without telling me, my mom dropped me off at my grandmother's house, and drove off. Now I'm supposed to spend the next month with her. Guess she forgot my grandma died six weeks ago. FML

Not worth our time

Today, my grandparents told me they couldn't make it to my college graduation, even with months in advance to plan, because they had their annual Mother's Day plans with friends. Plans they've had every year, and are further away. This was the only time I'll ever have a graduation ceremony. My grandpa is my last biological grandparent. FML

Today, my grandfather was counting all the grandchildren he had and saying how fortunate he was to have all of us. When I pointed out that he'd forgotten to count me, he turned and said "You're adopted, you don't count as a real grandchild" FML

Drama alert

Today, I went to visit my grandparents, as my grandmother may not have long left. When my stepfather wasn't grilling my visibly uncomfortable grandad about Bible passages, my mother was trauma-dumping about how hard her life has been, and how awful her marriage to my father was. They're his parents. FML

Today, I was sitting at home when the police knocked on my door. They came inside, sat me down and told me that both my parents died in a car crash tonight. I started to cry, but about 10 minutes later, I find out they had the wrong person. I feel bad for the other guy. FML

Your parents sure do recognize opportune moments to drop bombs.

I'm pretty sure a lot of the YDIs on the ones that couldn't be anything but FYLs are trolls and/or smartasses. They just click it to be oh-so-bad.

Have some common sense and think about it, if EVERY fml says 'Today' chances are not ALL of them happened on that exact day. Including this one.

People! Open your eyes and turn on your brains! Adoption IS NOT BAD! Okay, what if OP was NOT adopted? He would probably be dead in the streets, or raped and abused a thousand times. Think about it.

Nobody said it's a bad thing. It's just... Not a good thing to find out your parents have been lying to you all your life. Especially when you already have to handle the loss of your grandparents. Your generalization of people who give their kids up for adoption is just lovely. "Oh, I'm not ready for a kid, but accidently got pregnant, so I will abuse my kid a thousand times!"... "Oh, I just got raped, which caused me to get pregnant, and this means I will rape my kid, too!" ... "Oh, my birth control didn't work, but I don't want a kid yet, so this means I will let it starve on the streets!" I know this isn't what you were thinking, but please think your comments through before you post them.

Why the hell would your parents tell you're adopted as soon as your grandparents go in a car accident? That's just a really ****** up thing.
