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

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?

Aww! That's really unfair. How is it in any-way, your fault that your mother is a cheater!

That's freaking ignorant.. What your mom did has no reflection on you being the same way as her. If anything he needs to treat your mom worse than he does you.. Regardless, sorry your "dad" is a douche and he refuses to treat you as his child. He really should grow the eff up and get over it. It's not your fault..

Look OP, being your biological father or not, he chose to take on an innocent kid his wife's mistakes. What does that say about him? I know it's hard because he is probably the only father figure you had and as children we are naturally programed to love and seek approval from our parents but it seems like it's a lost cause. You're clearly better off without him in your life. He is an absolute ******** and a poor excuse of human being for being so petty and spiteful.

If I was a man, and this was my situation, if my wife cheated on me and got pregnant I would have divorced her and filed for full custody of my biological kids. I wouldn't stay and I also wouldn't be cruel to the other kid either. It isn't their fault.

I am trying to comprehend why he is rationalizing why he treats you like dirt. My only explanations are these (and I am not saying they are justified, its still very cruel) 1. OP looks like his cheating dad vs mom. 2. Every time OP's dad looks at OP, the boys resemblance to his biological dad reminds him of his wife's affair. If OP's dad can't forgive, he should have moved on and divorced her. Not punish a child for his wife's decision. I am very sorry OP. I wish you the best and things turn out for the better soon.

Because neither of you can maybe get a paternity test to get this dilemma resolved?

For those who are going, "Why would anyone click the ydi button?" I'm on the website using my phone and there are times where you misclick it.

I guess you got cheated out of that one.

Talk to your dad. Say it really bothers/ hurts that he thinks this way, and that you consider yourself as much part of the family as everyone else; that he is your dad and should act like it. If he's still an idiot, wait for the next time a family member other than your dad ( or a friend of your dads) does something stupid , and stay very clearly mad at your dad for what someone else did until he gets it and apologizes. ( to compensate for his crappy thinking skills maybe also just give him a kind daily reminder of ' I'm still mad at you for what x did'.) hth
