This teenager finally understood why she was always getting different treatment compared to her siblings.

Talk about a difficult conversation to have with your family! This 16-year-old always suspected that there must have been a reason why her father never took much of an interest in her. When she confronted her mother about this, all she kept hearing was that they had clashing personalities, but the teenager knew that this was not the full story. 

Eventually, a family member told her the truth, which was that her so-called father was not her father at all. It turns out that her mother had an affair long ago and confessed to her husband that she was pregnant with another man's child. They agreed that they would keep it a secret as long as they also had biological children together. 

Not only was this secret bound to be revealed, but also shame on both parents for the way they handled the truth!

  • The fact that the mother's preoccupation after her daughter learned the truth was a focus on who spilled the beans says everything we need to know about this woman as a parent. Her own daughter just learned some pretty devastating news, and instead of comforting her and trying to explain her decision-making, she decided to embark on a mission to punish someone else for telling the truth.

    As for the father, this man should know better than to blame the author for something that is so obviously not her fault. Why does it feel like the only grown-up in this family is the 16-year-old?

    "[Am I wrong] for refusing to tell my mom who told me her husband isn't my dad?"

    I (16f) always wondered why my 'dad' treated me different to my siblings (15f, 12m and 11m). Even though me and my sister are just over a year apart in age he would love on her and was super supportive of her and her interests.

    When mom wasn't home I was either pushed to sleep at a friend's house or a family member's house or he'd do a movie night or game night with my siblings and told me to stay in my room.

    I cried to my mom so many times about it and she told me he treated me that way because we were the most alike and we butted heads. But I never fought him or disagreed with him. I never got the time with him to do any of that.

    So when a relative told me a couple of months ago that he's not my dad. My mom was seeing him and my bio dad. Dad knew about my bio dad and said he wasn't going to keep

    sharing her so mom chose him and then when she found out about me he said she could keep me regardless but if I wasn't his he wanted a kid of his own. They DNA tested me and I'm not his so my sister was born so close to me because of the promise.

    After hearing the truth and seeing proof I confronted my parents. He told me now that I knew I could start calling him Drake instead of dad. My mom was not as yay she knows though. She has asked me every day, sometimes multiple times a day,

    now. It also opened up the truth that I have no college savings like my siblings and Drake doesn't want me to stay a day after my 18th birthday. He said I was never his, he never loved me and he wants at least one year of just HIS family.
