What is with the number of threads like this lately? In the last day alone we have seen two threads where fathers have discovered that they are not actually the biological parent of their children. Only discovering the affairs years later when the kids are teenagers or adults.

The other thread, also posted this week was one where the father's children disowned him for their biological father after the truth was revealed.

In this thread, rather than being posted by one of the children, it has been posted by the father who is harboring obvious resentment for his child who was born from the affair.

He had previously considered and raised his sixteen-year-old as his own before discovering that the boy was the product of an affair his wife had been having. He left after the discovery and refused to speak to the boy for two years.

Now, the father is taking it personally that the boy will not come to visit him. After cutting off contact for two years he has moved back into the city and demanded that his son come to visit him, threatening financial retribution if he refuses to do so.

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/AITA (Am I the A-Hole) subreddit by the father, u/Worried_papa_1762, who has posted the thread in order to see if he is in the wrong for his actions towards his child.

Although he is specifically about his actions regarding the college fund commenters have not hesitated to weigh in with their opinion on the entire ordeal. Commenters have brutally roasted the father for not being there for his son and leaving a young teenager hurt, confused and now without a future.
