I found out at age 35 that my father was not the sperm donor. Mom confessed to an affair with another man, and he was present in my whole life. “Long time family friend.”
To be honest, both of these men were fine gentlemen and I’m proud to have 2 dads. Both made contributions to a wild teenager and made me behave and become successful. All 3 parents are gone now, but I’m a better person for them all.
By the way, I have blood relations that I will never speak to again, and friends that will be friends for life. I learned that blood has nothing to do with it. Are they decent people or are they not? I believe that is all that matters.
Interesting story. Did both of your “dads” know the whole situation? Sounds like you were lucky for the way things turned out, and very mature at accepting it and recognizing the benefits.
It seems that the new half-sibling family are decent, hard-working people. They have raised two daughters, who also seem to be (based on what I have been able to find on the internet) normal and successful enough for their ages.
