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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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?

Woah, calm down. No matter how crappy what OP's mom did, this FML is not about her. OP's dad chose to stay in the relationship, and anyone who chooses to stay in a situation like this, should be doing it knowing full well that kids are not to blame. This is not a black and white situation, you don't have to pick who is the asshole here: both OP's mom and dad are huge assholes.

He should have some love for you but his actions toward you are horrible I sure hope things can be mended between you two OP

I know how you feel. My parents split and started new families, so im kind of the "red headed step child."

If it was that bad he should've left your mom as soon as he found out she cheated. Instead of being a dick to you your entire life. FYL, you don't deserve that.

#24 - Yes the mother cheated FIRST which caused the whole situation. Yes that makes her the douche. But I think that the father is also a douche as he has no right to take it out on the OP (whether he is blood related or not) for the actions of the mother. The father should be directing his anger etc to the mother, not the OP as the OP didnt ask to be born. What the hell did the OP ever do to the dad?

I don't care what anyone says, but blood runs thicker than water, but then again, so does syrup, so set some pancakes and all is well in the world!!!

That saying doesn't mean what everyone thinks it means. "The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb" Is the original quote meaning, basically the exact opposite.

Then again, if it's me raising you, I wouldn't treat you differently, I'm harsh on my kids, I want them to know discipline, but I want them to question it if they think it's wrong, but that's up to them.

Honestly that's the most pathetic reasoning I've ever heard any father say. What does this guy think of orphaned kids and kids who have found homes through adoption? "Sorry Tina, now that your mom and dad are gone you will never have real parents" or "Sorry Billy, but even if you get adopted it's not the same as if you had a biological mom/dad". Or even step parents, godfathers, etc. It's gonna be stressful to hear that from him, but realize how ******* retarded that logic is. It's still healthy to bother you because it is coming from someone you looked at as a father figure (basically don't think "why am i upset about this retarded logic) but it sometimes helps you get over it quicker if you realizes how stupid and illogical it sounds. Honestly, why even consider him a real part of your family? If you have siblings you get along with I would just inform them of what he said, and say that you still want to be a part of their lives but that to be careful sitting you and your father close. Hopefully, if your siblings are at least sane, they will listen and offer support.
