Money: Today, my dad confessed that the only reason I'm alive today...

By Savannah - 01/08/2011 21:20 - United States

Today, my dad confessed that the only reason I'm alive today is because he couldn't afford to pay for an abortion. He couldn't afford it because he'd splashed out on brand new furniture at IKEA shortly before discovering my mom was pregnant. FML

Today, I found out that the only reason I'm alive is because my dad beat the living shit out of my mom to stop her getting an abortion. FML

Today, my dad took me to a bar for my first legal drink. He quickly got "drunk" and started slurring that I was an accident, saying the only reason I'm alive is because he'd been too poor to pay for an abortion. As I started crying, he burst out laughing and said soberly, "Just kidding, son." FML

Today, I went to my dad, hoping to confess something to him. He quickly said that if I'd got my girlfriend pregnant, he'd kill me. That's exactly what happened. I had to make up a lie instead about stealing $50 from his wallet once as a kid, which he then demanded I pay back in full. FML

Today, my old man told me that he only married my mom because she convinced him she was pregnant with his child. In fact, she aborted a week later. "And then we had you instead." FML

Thanks for sharing your inspiring story, Dad

Today, my dad told me quite bluntly that, while he loved me, he never planned to have me. My mom baby-trapped him by sabotaging their birth control methods, and my existence ruined his life irrevocably and caused the functional alcoholism he has suffered with for 40 years. FML

Today, my dad asked to borrow some money off me, so I said okay. Later on, he told me he'll be using it to help divorce my mom. I pretty much just helped pay for my parents' divorce. FML

Today, my husband told me the only reason we're still together is because he can't afford to move out. FML

From this day forward, you will buy all of your furniture from IKEA in gratitude that you live to fight another day! Secondly, don't feel bad. Trust me when I say, if my parents had the chance to give me back they would, but thats not important. What is important, is that you can make something of yourself and make your father regret ever thinking about paying for that abortion.

That's sad but just because your dad would have aborted you when you were an unknown baby doesn't mean he doesn't love you now. People have babies for all sorts of stupid reasons. It's how they care for them that counts.

FYL because you were born? Granted no one on here should ACTUALLY be cursing their life over this non-consequential BS drama they think is so damn important because they are 14 and don't know real hardship...but a FML based on narrowly missing not being born? I've officially seen every retarded thing the Internet has to offer.

I'm in Canada, but I'm still 100% sure kids are more expensive than abortions in any first world country.. I think your dad was just being a dick

160 No Jesus doesn't believe in ending a life that way especially since the baby is basically alive while the doctor is cutting the baby up or sucking the brain out and shit.. don't believe me? look it up.. it will amaze you what organs and things are working by the time the baby is ready to come out. I'm catholic by the way even though what I said doesnt makes a difference in this world since people are heartless.. 41 has no clue what he's talking about with what he said
