You grow up in a happy home, making some of your most treasured memories with your mother and father, only to see everything disintegrate one day. You learn that your parents are not who you thought they were, and all you have left is pain. It sounds devastating, doesn’t it?

That is exactly what occurred to a Reddit member, who was disowned by her father after he discovered she was the result of her mother’s a.f.f.a.i.r. Years later, once she had recovered from the anguish, he returned, hoping to “make things right,” but the young woman paid him back.

A woman came to Reddit and shared her heartbreaking story.

One woman, whose name is unknown, recently turned to Reddit and told her mind-blowing story, which made a mark on the hearts of many users.

She began her post with, “So let’s get into it, I guess. Almost a decade ago, my father discovered that my mother had che:at:ed on him with another man years before through my mother’s sister. My mother and aunt were not on good terms at the time, so she told Dad everything.”

“My parents argued over this, and Dad filed for divorce. We all had our DNA checked, and I was the only one of his three children who wasn’t. It hurt so much to learn that your father, who had raised you for nearly 16 years, was not indeed your father. That didn’t feel as horrible as his pushing me out of his house while I begged him not to.”

The woman suffered from her dad’s decision.

The desperate woman recalled, “When he disowned me, I wished I was no longer alive. My mother slid into a melancholy mood and would spend the entire day in bed, just getting up to use the restroom. My grandparents lived in a faraway state, yet they did all possible to improve our lives. I needed to come home from school, perform all of the housework, and care for and check on my mother. I did all possible to ensure that we survived.”

The woman said, “I would ask my mother who my true father was, but all I got was shouting or a hit. My father’s brothers and grandparents attempted to reconcile us, but he refused. I was only a reminder that his mother had chea:ted on him.”

Her dad’s rejection affected the woman’s life immensely.

The lady recalls with sadness, “I remember my 17th birthday when no one remembered it was mine. I cried till I had no tears left. Even when I graduated from high school, only my grandmother attended. Why did no one seem to care about my feelings? Why was I expected to go through this?”

The young woman realized that things couldn’t continue as they were and made a decision. She added, “After I returned from graduation, I warned my mother that I was leaving if she didn’t tell me who my real father was, and this time she did. I met him after finding out where he resided. I realized that I have a half-brother and that my real father was a widower and a doctor.”

“He had no idea that I existed or that my mother was married. It took some time, but we formed a bond, and he helped me go through college and escorted me down the aisle. He even helped Mom, and I will be eternally thankful to him.”

When her “dad” showed up, the OP didn’t hesitate to pay him back for his bet:ray:al.

The woman wrote, “Well, it’s gift time for me I (26 f) married my gorgeous fiancé last week and did not invite my ex-father to the ceremony. He tried to contact me before the wedding, but I didn’t want anything to do with him. My ex-father’s brothers and grandparents claim I am wrong and that he wanted to come and make things right, but I do not want to make things right.”

The lady stated, “He had the right to abandon me, and I have the right to do the same. He is not my father. He existed once, but not anymore. I realize that he was hurt, but I was also hurt. Everyone urges me to let go of the resentment, but I simply do not want him in my life, and I will not give him another chance.”

“My husband knows, but no one else appears to comprehend what I went through to get to where I am now. He cannot just walk into my life 9 and a half years later and expect everything to be fine. Am I a bad person?”
