Parents and Kids: Today, I found out why my dad always treated me badly as a kid...

Today, I found out why my dad always treated me badly as a kid compared to my siblings. It's because I was conceived while my mom was cheating on him. On top of that, he made it clear that he still doesn't consider me a "real" part of the family. FML

Today, my dad's will included a DNA test he did on me when I was 3, proving I’m not his son. I thought we had a great relationship, but apparently he secretly hated me all these years for mom cheating, and decided to embarrass me in front of our family, half of whom it turns out I’m not related to.

Today, I found out the truth about my parents’ divorce and why our family is so distant. Turns out my dad had an affair with not one, but two of my mom’s sisters. And that my youngest cousin is also my half-sister. 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, 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, 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, my parents finally got married. At the after-party, my mother got drunk and informed me that even though she and my father were now married, it doesn't change the fact that I'm still a bastard. FML

Today, I told my parents I was pregnant but don’t know who the Dad is. My Mom said “that’s alright, I still don’t know who your dad is”. So apparently my father isn’t my real Dad. FML

Today, my father told me that it wasn't that I was written out of his will, it's that he never thought to include me in the first place. FML

That's terrible. But don't worry, you are not the first person to have that happen to them.

That is why DNA tests were invented

That is horrible. He should treat you no different; you are innocent and regardless he doesn't know anything for sure I bet but he should know that he is your father and you love him.

I am so sorry you have to deal with that shit. Obviously he's the one with problems, you've done nothing wrong. What an ass hat.

I'm sorry and that's really wrong. Unfortunately our parents aren't always the parent they should be..

Sorry OP. It's not your fault you were conceived during a infidelity Liaison. Your dad hasn't forgiven your mom so he is taking it out on you. I guess you are a constant reminder of that cheating time. Chin up. I hope your siblings love you regardless .

The father is a douche. Yes the mother cheated and that must have hurt but to take his anger out on an innocent child is unbelievable.

Am I the only one who finds it strange that the father considers the wife (who CHOSE to cheat on him) as part of the family, but OP (who cannot choose who his father was) as excluded from the family? It would make sense to either forgive the wife and therefore accept her son, or split up with her once he discovered her cheating and reject both her and her illegitimate son. The father is clearly not thinking properly, don't let his words discourage you too much OP!

That made you into the strong person you are now. If someone cannot get past their own selfish feelings to help raise a child then they shouldn't even be a parent. That's horrible. I hope it has gotten better for you, OP and if it has; its because you made it better.
