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
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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 uninvited to a family reunion because I’m the result of my mom’s affair while she was married to her husband, who raised me as a dad for 22 years before we found out. According to my aunts, uncles, and cousins who I grew up with, it means I’m not really family anymore. FML
Today, I found out I was named after the woman my dad was having an affair on my mom with. FML
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
Today, I tried to reconcile with my estranged father after learning that all the things my mom said were lies to turn me against him. He refused and told me that he has a new daughter and that I'm not part of the picture. I know I deserve it but… FML
Today, I realized my dad was right about everything: the hot guy who was attractive because my dad hated him so much really was a scumbag. I found out after he got me pregnant, vanished, and then learned that he also got my sister and cousin pregnant. FML
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

If only he had a choice of who his father was :P Well, he might be the son of another man anyways...

Sorry OP :/ lots of us know what it's like to get mistreated by our family so we understand. Just keep your head up.

OP whether he likes it or not you are his son. He raised you, even if he treated you badly, not the other man. He should be mad at his wife not you. I suggest you and you family get some family counseling.

Wow! What an ass. I'm sorry, OP. I wish you didn't have to deal with that, it's not YOUR fault that's when you were conceived. He should not be blaming you.

I think it might be time to take a DNA test and if need be, find your biological dad. Who knows, he might be more welcoming to you. The worst thing that could happen is he could reject you too, but it beats fighting regret for the rest of your life. Bast of luck OP!

I agree, demand a DNA test. If you are his, an apology is in order. If you are not, walk away and don't look back.

wait, why would he walk away? doesn't that just make him seem like more of a dick than his dad.

He'd be walking away from years of emotional neglect and abuse, along with mental abuse. Walking away from that would be liberating, a new life could be started. I wouldn't want to stick around in a family where I was so clearly unwanted. Also, shame on the mother for allowing that happen to her child.

And if the person who raised OP turns out not to be his biological father, and it was someone else, what's the point in going to the sperm donor after all these years and telling the guy that he's your real father? You think the sperm donor cares if he got someone else's wife pregnant? That really is awful for you, OP, and I'm sorry your father couldn't be a man and love you as his own.

Well, screw him! I'm sure you turned out to be a wonderful person!

Klaus Michaelson is that you?

You being there and caring for your family makes you more "family" than him if he can't have respect for his own children. You are the better person OP Sorry

#29- Based off of the rage you're clearly feeling (as shown by all your comments on this anecdote), I think you need to calm down slightly.

I never thought an FML comment could embody a fedora and neckbeard so well. Up next from charlespainting9: "Why Chris Brown is an angel and why Rihanna deserved it." God forbid a male can do any wrong in your sad world. (And yes, the mom is a total shitstain too.)
