The Original Post
5 years ago when I was 15 my parents got divorced, dad found out she has been basically cheating on him their whole relationship and he demanded a DNA test for all of us, I was the oldest of 4 siblings and everyone except me was his biological child. And just like that he cut me completely out. Not even a proper goodbye he just disappeared from my life.
Before this my entire life he was ny best friend and he’s still the only father figure I’ve had in my life, my bio dad passed away before I was even born. Dad is still the same exact dad he was to me to my little siblings, but he refuses to even just have a casual relationship with me now like he didn’t raise me as his oldest son for 15 damn years.
I get it must have been hard for him to find out the truth because it’s the hardest thing I’ve ever been through too like dad wasn’t really my dad but how fucking heartless do you have to be to just throw me like worthless shit because I didn’t come from your ballsack?
Honestly right now I rest both him and my mom and honestly even my siblings too.
What Reddit Said
Reddit users were overwhelmingly sympathetic to OP’s heartbreaking situation. Most commenters expressed outrage at the father’s cruel abandonment. However, many also shared similar stories where non-biological fathers chose love over DNA.
Several Redditors pointed out that a real father wouldn’t abandon a child he raised for 15 years. Meanwhile, others questioned where OP’s mother was in supporting him through this trauma. The consensus was clear: biology doesn’t define true parenthood.
The Verdict
The overwhelming response shows Reddit believes OP’s father acted heartlessly when he decided to cut his son out after the DNA test. This represents a painful example of family betrayal where years of love were erased by genetics. Moreover, the community rallied around OP, emphasizing that his worth isn’t determined by parental abandonment based on biology.
