Today, I found out my parents never naturalized me. I'm adopted from a country I've never been to, and now I could be deported there. FML

To clarify, I was born in a foreign country and adopted at less than a month old. My parents are both US citizens. I was never naturalized.

This one is totally on your idiotic parents. I don't know what prevented or prevents them from seeking citizenship. There is nothing that serious unless you were kidnapped. Other than that, they have potentially ruined everything that you have built in your country. I really want to know how old you are; this is like a damn Lifetime movie.

Sorry, question: What does it mean to be naturalized? I googled it and it just says to admit citizenship. Am I just being really dense and that's just the word used to describe a person who's become a legal citizen?

This kind of seems like it shouldn't actually be that difficult to rectify... I wouldn't be too worried about deportation. https://www.uscis.gov/adoption/bringing-your-internationally-adopted-child-united-states/after-your-child-enters-united-states

OMG Batman! you must be freaking out. I would be. I would suggest being aware and prepared and do research just in case the worst happens. Don't be caught sleeping. My heart is with you.

Uhh... if you were adopted in that country, wouldn't you have been there?

Today, I really wanted to spend a night of passion with my lover, so I'd arranged to meet him in a very classy hotel, gave him the room number, and waited for him in a super-sexy outfit. There was a knock at the door, so I opened it slowly and enticingly, assuming it was him. It was room service. FML

Today, my father accused me of not taking care of my 15-month-old son, who is putting on weight slowly because of starting to walk and run. Come on, for a man who sees his grandchildren two or three times a year and never gives his daughter a call, who gave him the courage? FML

Today, since getting the new kitten that only I wanted, it has scratched me and peed on my socks, my side of the bed and my laptop. It loves my husband though, who was against getting a cat at all. FML

Today, after feeding my cats, I walked out of the room. Five minutes later, I heard one of them making a hacking sound. Knowing the outcome, I went to get some paper towels to wipe up the mess. When I went in, my other cat was eating it. Certain things cannot be unseen. FML
