Holidays: Welcome back!

Welcome back!

By Anonymous - 28/12/2009 12:08 - United States

Today, I came home from a year long backpacking trip in Europe. During my absence my parents divorced, dad took the house and most of the money, sister is seven months pregnant, brother was arrested for statutory rape, and my mom pawned all my stuff to buy booze to "cope." Oh, and my fish died. FML

Today, I came home after having traveled abroad for the last two months. Before I left, I'd asked my dad to take care of my fish, and he promised they'd be safe with him. I found them all decomposing. FML

Today, my boyfriend and I broke up after three years. I came home and when my dad asked what was wrong, I told him. His first reaction was, "Well damn it. Who'll go fishing with me now?" FML

Today, I came home from a month long vacation to find my house absolutely trashed with a lot of valuable items missing. Burglary? Nope. My dad, who was meant to be house-sitting for me, let the neighbour's teenage son have several parties there in exchange for weed. FML

Thanks for all your help

Today, after being in Europe for a month, I got home to find my door wide open and all my stuff gone. I called my dad who was supposed to be watching my house. He told me I should have had someone check on my place while I was gone. FML

Open invitation

Today, after a grueling business trip, my husband and I came home to all our furniture broken, every window smashed, all the floors scratched and carpets ripped, all our electronics stolen, and all our food and booze gone. What happened? Our son held a party and invited literally everyone he could from campus. 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 neighbor called me on vacation to tell me that she let my mother into my house to feed my fish. I don't have fish, and my mother passed away 3 years ago. FML

Today, my mom was criticizing how I can't handle taking care of any living thing because I'm too irresponsible. We had a huge argument so I went back to my apartment, only to find that my fish had died. I forgot I had a fish. FML

Today, I came home to found all of my belongings out on the street. My roommate, who is also my brother, apparantly neglected to pay his part of the rent, and we got evicted. FML

My regret

Today, my little sister put me in charge of keeping her fighting fish alive. It would've been an easy task if it weren't for my crazy ex-boyfriend drunkenly forcing his way into my house, vomiting into the fishbowl and killing the fish. Only ten more hours until my family gets home. FML

that'll teach you to stay the hell away from Europe. But seriously, would things have been different if you stayed? Be glad you didnt have to live through it all.

WOW! That really sucks-especially that nobody called you. I'd just go back to Europe if I were you. FYL indeed.

That's weird ... nobody called you? Nobody emailed you? If all this really happened to you, then I am really really sorry, but somehow the whole story sounds a bit fake to me.

agreed. obviously OP was not that close to his family if he didn't make contact for a year. who does that?

Well that and the fact that the first thing he did was get online and tell us about it even tho he's been away for a year and supposedly has no money or stuff, cause his mom pawned it... so she didn't pawn his laptop/desktop that probably would have bought her a LOT of booze?? And even tho he's been gone a year he's remembered THIS site specifically?? And yet again... all that and his first thought was "must post this on FML"....

Perhaps he brought his laptop with him? OR perhaps he's submitting it from a library, or a friends computer, the computer of some other family member who was there to defend their things. OR perhaps this happened three years ago and OP just now posted it, but changed it so that it sounded like it happened today, because that how it has to start. (and by the way, I don't think I'd forget all my favorite websites if I was gone for a year. A year is not that long)
