Today, my wedding is scheduled for next week. Today is also the day my whole family had an epic falling out, resulting in my mother disowning my brother. Apart from having them taking turns sobbing at me through the phone, they're also not coming to the wedding. I paid the hotel rooms in advance. FML

Today, I found out my 35 year-old brother got divorced 18 months ago when my now ex-sister-in-law told me via Facebook messenger, and asked me to tell my parents, as both of them were too scared to do it themselves. FML

they're getting divorced at like, 70? thats retarded. that puts you at like, mid 40's: two questions: why are you on FML, and shouldn't you be more upset that your parents are divorcing than that you are loosing money? i dont think i believe this story.

I agree - I can't believe that your parents have been together for nearly 50 years and now decide to divorce, and the thing you decide to complain about is how much money you're losing.
