Today, my father asked me to never contact him again. The reason? His "new" family doesn't know I exist and explaining that he has a 28 year-old daughter to his wife and his other children would be "awkward". I have siblings that I will never meet. FML

Tell him that he can't contact you either because it would be awkward explaining to your new dad.

I had the same problem...except... no one in his family knows i exist, including his parents. And he strung me along for 2 years, although i kinda figured he was. Then when i pushed to meet his parents. He said he didn't have time for me

yeah my grandfather had a family before he married my grandmother. I have to live with it, knowing everyone knows but my grandmother... it sucks a lot....

Without question, you should do everything to make sure his 'new' family is fully aware you exist. Even if for nothing other than to make his life difficult before leaving his life forever. I can't imagine how someone like your 'father' could live with themselves.

Ugh! Why can some dad's be such worthless pieces of SHIT?! I had a similar situation happen to me with my dad.... *******.

Seriously now... I would totally crash that party. Baby pictures and all. I would show up and say "Hey my dad told me all about my new half siblings and I thought I would stop by and introduce myself!" From there I would spend the time with them getting along all smiles, and then as I left I would say "now dad why wouldnt you want me to know them?"

I'd find a way to ensure his new family found out about you. he should not be lying to his new family!

I have 3 half-brothers i've never met. they don't know I exist because my dads too coward to tell his family about me. I never got to meet my grandmother either and she died last year.

I agree with everyone else, make contact. Find out his new wife's name and where they live and mail her a photo copy of your birth certificates and photo's of you and him with a note that says something along the lines of "I'm what he's been keeping from you" or "Think you really know him now!?" etc... But to be honest sound's like you're better off without him. (: hope it all goes well for you in the end.

Win idea... that's exactly along the ideas of what I was thinking.
