28-year-old refuses to help mom with rent after she lied to him about bio dad bailing, turns out he would have loved to be a parent if he only knew: "I feel cheated"

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. We all have white lies we tell. Maybe it's telling your mother-in-law that her homemade meatloaf is the best you've ever had. Maybe it's telling your boyfriend that you love when they wear their perfectly white shoes outside. Maybe it's lying to your friend about their dating life when you can see they're a complete mess. Most people tell little white lies that cost nothing to either party, like bailing on someone or lying about food preferences. It really becomes a problem when the little white lie is actually a really big lie that hurts people.

In the story below, the protagonist is subject to a big lie that shook his world. He always thought his mother was a single mom raising him. Turns out he has a dad, and this man would have gone above and beyond to be a father to him. How would you feel if you found out your mother was lying to you? Read the full story for all the juicy details.

I have no idea how this kid can get past a lie like this. It really crosses boundaries, and reveals so much about his mother. He must feel like she's a stranger now. It can be so dissociating to find out about a big lie like this, and it could affect their relationship forever.
