Today, my mom talked me into going to a funeral since my dad wouldn't go. It was for one of her classmates. When it was our time to view the casket, we paused in front of it for a second before my mom leans over to me and says, "What if I told you that was really your dad?" FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was at my mom's funeral. My sisters and I were sitting in the front row. The funeral director, whom we had met with twice before, was going around greeting everyone. When she got to us, she asked where our mom was. Seriously? FML
Today, my mom asked me to help pick out clothes for my grandma to wear in her casket. I didn't know she'd died. FML
Today, my mom came over to me and whispered something in my ear. I didn't hear it and assumed it was a joke, so I started laughing. Turns out my aunt died. FML
Today, I saw my dad for the first time in almost five years, at his funeral. FML
Today, my dad sat me down for a talk. After the talk, he wasn't my dad anymore. FML
Today, I intentionally caused my parents to have an intensely heated argument when I asked them how and where they first met. Dad said it was at a funeral, and mom said it was at a burial. FML
Today, while at my aunt's funeral, my grandma who has terrible memory loss asked me whose funeral we were at. I had to explain to her that her daughter had died. FML
Today, I found out my dad is dating my dead mom's best friend. FML
Today, my mom walked in on me crying in my room and yelled at me for being a "weak little crybaby." I’d just found out my best friend died in a car accident. When I told my mom that, she said, "Does it look like I fucking care?" FML
Today, I was speaking to an old friend and I asked her how her mother was. She replied, "She passed away, you came to her funeral last month." FML

That's honestly messed up that your mom told you AFTER he died. If it is true, I'm sorry OP. Sincerest condolences from me.

Get some DNA from him before they stick him in the ground. If he's your dad, you are a rightful heir and stand to inherit part of his estate.

Well I guess that's why she wanted you to go. especially without your dad

I'd say blood doesn't make you a father or mother, biologically yes, emotionally no. What makes you a parent is if they love you, raised you, care about you, and been there for you throughout the years. I understand that it's painful never meeting your biological father but you still have a dad.

I don't think that's the point. It doesn't say if anyone even knew. The guy might not have known. The mom could have been lying to everyone. And it doesn't say they're upset about not having a father. They'd probably like to possibly have gotten to know their biological one. They might only be raised by someone else because their mom never told anyone.
