Today, I learned that my father, who died when I was a child, was not in fact my father. This comes as my mom, who has been present and loving my whole life, passed away without providing any additional information. I'm a grown man and my family also had no idea. FML

Take it as a sign that she had good reason for not telling you. Some truths are better left unsaid. Sorry man. Glad she loved you
