Today, my estranged, alcoholic father decided to tell me I have a sister. After 30 mins of him describing how beautiful she is and how much we look alike and how she has lived one town away from me her entire life, I was excited to the point of tears. Too bad she died a year ago. Thanks dad. FML

Today, my dad introduced me to my half-sister. He'd only recently found out that he had another daughter by another woman, and had only just met her. She and I have been in the same class in school for the past three years. FML

Today, my estranged father died. No one bothered to tell me, and the only reason I found out was because his wife texted my sister. When I asked about the service, I was told I was no welcome in the state he had lived in, because I was no longer family. FML

Today, my father called me for the first time in two weeks since I moved away. Excited, I answered the phone. It was a mistake. He thought he'd called my sister. FML

Today, my mother casually told me she’s been seeing someone for the past 3 months. My dad passed away 2 years ago. They were together for 40 years. Suddenly she had to get off the phone with me because her “guy she’s been talking to” was calling. Hence I’m on the wine. FML

Today, I found out that my dad has drunkenly told my sister more than once that he doesn’t love either of us, and even then he prefers her over me. All these years I thought I was crazy for thinking I had any kind of daddy issues, but I guess that must be why I’m a phenomenal fuck. FML

Today, I saw my older sister for the first time in three years. We hadn't spoke since I found out that she was the woman my college boyfriend left me for. Unfortunately, our reunion was fueled by her two-year-old son's desire to meet his dad. My husband. FML

Today, I found out that my father, who very recently lost his wife, decided that drunkenly hitting on my long-time boyfriend's mom was a good idea. FML

Today, I got the guts to call my dad for the first time in nine years. He said he "almost didn't remember" he "had another daughter." Another? FML

Ouch. I wonder why he'd even bring it up. That's just going to hurt, rather than help in any way..

Wow! That sucks. You should go into detail about how you just found out that your pregnant, how excited you are that he's going to be a grandfather and then tell him you aborted it. That'll make you about even.

I'm so sorry for you. What your dad did was just mean and pointless.

Dumb bitch, you deserved it. I mean, seriously, you have no excuse to miss her. You never once asked if you had a sister anyway. This isn't an FML, just a sad excuse for a made up story. I feel sorry for your dad, who has to live someone as ignorant as you. No wonder he drinks. Once again, you derserved it.

Your Dad is an idiot, he deserve a DUI and jail time. How can you do such a thing to your OWN child? FYL, and F you're deceased sister's life.

Uhm... I'm not sure he deserves a DUI in this case, really. I don't recall anyone saying he was driving at the time.

The same thing sort of happened to me. My dad told me a while ago that I had a brother. I have no clue where my brother is, or if the name my dad thinks is his name is actually his name. Then, my dad passed away a couple of years after that. I will never know my brother.

Not as bad as a sister who lives really close to you. A sibling relationship can be very rewarding and is often deeper than relationships with cousins or uncles. At least you managed to find out about your relatives before they died, and no one built up your excitement about them and then told you they were dead.

PS "Compensate" is probably not the right word, unless you're going to give her money for the loss of her relationship with her sister. You're likely thinking about the words "empathize" or "sympathize".
