Life dials back and gets more balanced, and you settle down, have kids, and everything is going well, except that it actually isn’t. Well, it happens that, for unknown reasons, your wife cheated on you while she was a housewife.
This is the expected story from this Reddit user’s dad, who chose to vent his anger on his children for their mother's action. The author started his story by sharing that his dad discovered that his mother was cheating on him, but the mother wouldn't tell whom she cheated with.
Well, the adulterous act was believed to have happened around the time the woman was a stay-at-home mom. Yes, the woman had her youngsters around the same time, and the dad was persuaded that his kids may not really be his.
In addition, he gave a final proposal to every one of them, saying that he would only pay for their schooling when a DNA test proved that they were completely his.
Who's your daddy?

Here's what

Testing time
Pre-cheating
That feeling
Sadly, the OP emphatically believes that he's not his father's biological child since people have been letting him know that he in no way looks like the rest of his family.

My fear is...
Not a college fund

About to start college
So mad right now
A decision has to be made

You are definitely capable
You're his child no matter what
Start applying for scholarships

He deserves the truth

You get to lose if you don't do the test
