    Font - Posted by u/Awn2247 16 hours ago $7 13 11 AITA for seeking my biological father after learning I'm the child of infidelity and being shipped to live with grandparents? I'm a child of infidelity. My mom was cheating on my dad and I'm the result. My three other siblings are my dad's. I just turned 15. D The news came out about 6 months ago and I've been staying with my grandparents ever since. That was my dad's condition to stay with my mom and try to make things work. I'm being treated lik

    Font - I haven't talked to my dad ever since I've left, I talk to my mom once a week and about 2 months ago asked her to give me information about my biological father. She refused but I managed to figure it out (my aunt, the only one who still treats me like before, had her suspicions about who he might be). I reached out, we did DNA tests and confirmed everything. My bio father did not know I exist and is excited, his family are cool too. He told me he didn't know my mom was married at the tim

    Font - This has been secret so far (except for my aunt) but I was found out after I was video calling my dad earlier today by my grandparents and now my mom and "dad" also know, and they came here telling me how hurt they are by my actions. I insisted that I'm hurt by their actions but they said they're just trying to figure things out and what I've done is effectively giving up and trying to replace them. To be honest I have given up as I don't feel like part of the family anymore. I asked what

    Font - FleeshaLoo 12 hr. ago BINGO. Like the 15 year-old is supposed to be able to suppress the most human reaction to this sudden revelation, the burning curiosity and need to know more, while the *adults* act like selfish children and demonize their 15 year-old? They sound like terrible people. Guilt and shame are two of the strongest motivators for projection. In this case, the supposed adults are demonizing the kid because they cannot admit that this is their secret and secrets eventually co

    Font - ragnarocknroll 10 hr. ago Not only that, but his mother's husband demanded he be thrown out and effectively cut off from his family. For 15 years this kid was his and now he treats the kid like dirt. After finding out the kid has been seeing their father, he has the gall to be angry about it?!?! The kid didn't give up on him, he gave up on the kid and now he wants to be able to be mad at the kid for trying to find a life that has people that love him. Wow. OP is so NTA here and needs to a

    Font - jengaj2016 7 hr. ago A hole Enthusiast [6] I can't understand how someone can raise a kid for 15 years, find out they're not biologically theirs, and just stop loving them. I just can't. It makes me wonder if he ever truly loved his kids (any of them) in the first place. Like they're all just little trophies to show off their successful relationship and this trophy just got broken so he's throwing it away. DNA cannot possibly be more meaningful than a relationship cultivated over time, ye

    Font - Alasan883 5 hr. ago you know, that was the point that really made me go what the... heck i even get the "dad" needing some space (from literally everyone, including op) to sort out his feelings at that point, but from the way the op is written they just dumped him off at his grandparents and continued on like the whole thing never happened. i dunno but to me that just seems crazy.
