Today, we got the results of our family's ancestry DNA tests. My father isn't related to me, but my grandfather is still my grandfather. Apparently grandma cheated on grandpa to get 'dad', and my mother cheated on 'dad' with my 'uncle' to get me. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my girlfriend of 8 years and I received our results from a DNA test. We're both very interested in history and ancestry, and wanted to see where in the world we both originated. It turns out we have the same father. FML
Today, I got ancestry DNA tests for my parents and myself. The DNA testing company informed me that I'm a 50% match for my mother but I share no DNA with my father. Apparently, both my parents forgot that they used a sperm donor. This insignificant detail has slipped their minds for 35 years. 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. FML
Today, I was doing a family genealogy project. I accidentally discovered that my grandfather couldn't possibly be my mom’s biological father. When I started asking questions, my mom flipped shit, confronted her mom, and the whole mess came out. Now everyone is pissed at me. FML
Today, my sister and I decided to do one of those online DNA tests just for fun. Our mom came in, saw all the stuff on the table, and lost her mind. She started bawling and apologizing. Apparently, neither one or neither of us actually belong to my dad. FML
Today, I took a DNA test and it turns out that the person who I thought was my dad is not my actual dad and my real dad is his best friend. FML
Today with a DNA test, I found out that my husband is my half brother. 30 years ago his father made a donation to the sperm bank my mother used, and I’m the result. To make matters worse, I’m pregnant. FML
Today, I found out that the man I called grandpa for 40 years is really my dad. My drunk aunt spilled the beans. Her exact words were, "My dad is a better dad to you than he EVER was to me! You never wondered why he treated you better than his other grandchildren? You're his son!" FML
Today, my husband presented me with a DNA test proving that our newborn daughter isn't his. Confused, I got her tested again. She's not a match to me either. FML
Today, I was working on my family genealogy. I found out that my best friend's great-grandfather murdered my great-grandfather. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I feel like in OP's situation, the DNA test stands for "Do Not Ask!"

Were none of these people aware of you taking the test? Your grandma, mum and dad/uncle? How would they even let it go this far! Sucks to be your 'dad' though! I'd love a follow up.

Maybe your grandmother gave her the idea.

Well he/she would probably have to know at some point, so they probably figured they might as well find out now since apparently there was an interest. At least the person now has an interesting story at parties or something 😂

So, this shows how the cheaters gene get passed on from generations to generations?

So, in your family, the monogamy gene is in the “junk DNA” section?

If your mother's husband was the result of adultery he would be the half-brother of your uncle/dad and you would be related to him. Since you are not related to him your 'father' might be adopted.

I am so ******* confused!

“******* confused” appears to be this family’s favorite pastime.

Grandma cheated, resulting in one child from grandpa (OP’s uncle) and one illegitimate child (OP’s “Dad”). OP’s mother cheated with OP’s uncle. His uncle being grandpa’s son and OP’s real dad, so he is related to grandpa.
