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, for my birthday, the only "gift" my parents gave me was the gift of choice: I got to choose which one of them I'll be living with after their upcoming divorce. This was the first time I'd heard anything about a divorce. FML

Today, I called my mom to let her know I was coming home for my upcoming birthday, as I haven’t seen my parents in months. She then stated she hated my birthday because it reminded her she was getting older, and they may have preexisting plans that evening anyways. Really feeling the family love… FML

Today, I traveled 3 hours to a town I hate, to spend my birthday with my mom and brother and his family. My mom didn't realize it was my birthday until the cake slice with candles was placed in front of me. FML

Today, I got a call from my parents that they have decided to get a divorce. My brothers and I just shelled out $5,000 each and spent months planning their 50th Anniversary party that was supposed to be next month. FML

Today, it's my birthday. My dad was supposed to take me to get a tattoo, but instead he went to the bar, got drunk, and told me how I was the biggest mistake he and my mom have ever made. FML

Be a little more selfish. I'd bet your parents haven't had it easy for a while... quit being a brat and try to be supportive to them.

Wow total bummer. I don't think you are being selfish at all. I can't imagine getting that news around my birthday. I can't believe anyone said this is your fault.

#4 - That's extremely rude. She's not being selfish. Divorce is never easy for the parents, but it's always extremely hard on kids. Trust me, I'm going through one right now. Just ignore #8. Divorce is a hard thing to go through whether it's your own relationship or your parents'. But you just gotta live through it. I know it sounds really harsh, but there's nothing you can really do. Crappy birthday present, but I'm sure when your birthday does arrive - they'll celebrate it with you. ( : Good luck.
