Today, my parents informed me that my dad is leaving my mom and moving to Florida from New York tomorrow. I just spent $300 on a new crossbow for his birthday, which is tomorrow, in hopes that he would spend more time with me. FML

Today, I was out and was having a wonderful time. At exactly midnight, I get a call from my father. He's divorcing my mother. He's also going to Florida with his mistress for the weekend. If that wasn't the best news ever, he'd love if I found an apartment to live in ASAP. FML

Today, my dad and his girlfriend left for a 10-day vacation. They booked an expensive beach-house. I'm an A grade student and just last month, he stopped paying my school fees because he 'couldn't afford it.' Oh, and he's making me feed the dog while he's away. FML

Today, my dad, who lives hours away, called and told me he was getting married. Today. As in this evening. Guess I'm not invited. FML

Today, my dad told me he's taking the whole family to Disney World, even my step-brother's girlfriend. But not me, because he can't "afford" it. FML

Today, two days before my birthday, my parents drove three hours to visit me at school and take me out to lunch. I assumed that it was to celebrate my birthday. They told me they are getting divorced. FML

Today, my dad wants a divorce. I can either stay with my wine-loving mom or move 300km away with my dad. FML

Although it's a really crappy situation, I'm sure he'll still appreciate your present, and maybe you'll be able to spend more one-on-one time while visiting him in Florida!

Maybe he can have an “accident” with the crossbow and avoid alimony.

Return it and get Dad a card. You are going to need the money more than Dad needs a crossbow. Or keep it for yourself....

Now shoot him in the leg so he wouldn't move out of your place.

I'm kinda curious what age you are. However, if he's willing to ditch you and move to another state at the drop of a hat, I don't think any amount of crossbows will buy his affection. It sounds like he's just not that involved of a father.
