Imagine growing up in a family where you don’t look like your siblings and you have nothing in common with your dad.

Would you think anything was unusual about that, or would you take what you’d been told at face value?

In today’s story, one woman decides to take a DNA test, and what she discovers leads to an emotional conversation with her mom. Now, she’s wondering if she was too harsh.

Let’s read the whole story to decide.

AITA for calling my mom a liar after finding out my dad is not my bio father

I (28f) was raised by my mother, and spent most of my childhood visiting my dad every 2 weeks and certain holidays.

My dad is no longer in my life, the last time I heard from him was about 12 years ago, however the reasons for this falling out are not relevant to this post.

My dad used to tell my sisters that the reason he and my mom divorced was because of an affair that happened around the time I was conceived.

He told them that he has always been suspicious that I am not his biological daughter, however it is worth noting that nothing was ever said to me directly.

She wanted to know the truth.

I look nothing like my dad and have some medical things that are genetic that don’t seem to come from either my mom or dad’s side of the family.

Finally about a month ago I decided I wanted to find out.

I did an ancestry kit.

Last night I got the results.

The results led her to do some digging.

Not a single member of my dad’s side of the family was listed, however there were a lot of people I’d never heard of before coming from my paternal DNA side.

One of those relatives shared more DNA with me than my sister.

I found her on social media and got in touch with her.

Turns out her dad was working at the college my mother was attending the year I was conceived.

She asked her mom about this situation.

Through some deductive reasoning we discovered she was in fact my half sister and that man was my biological father.

When I called my mom to ask her about this, I made it clear that I wasn’t angry, her marriage was her business and I’m just looking for answers.

She claimed she had never slept with anyone outside of her marriage and that ancestry must not be very accurate.

I chose not to confront her at this time. I wanted to gather more information and calm down a bit before trying to get some answers again.

Her mom called back with another story.

Then a few hours later she called me back, this time claiming that she’d had time to think about it and that she did remember being surprised about her pregnancy with me as she hadn’t been very intimate with my dad during that time.

She said she was really disturbed because she doesn’t know who that man is and is worried she was a victim.

I kinda lost it at this point.

I was disgusted that she was trying to make herself a victim in this situation instead of taking accountability and giving me the answers I deserve.

The phone call didn’t end well.

I called her a liar and she started crying and hung up the phone.

My husband says I was way too harsh with her, and I put too much pressure on her out of the blue. He says I should have been a bit more gentle with her and reassured her that I’m not angry.

Maybe he’s right, but honestly I am angry so idk

Did she overreact, or did her mother deserve to be called a liar since she was in fact a liar?

Let’s see how Reddit reacted to this story.

This person would be furious.

Her mother is a liar.

It makes sense that she’s upset.

Here’s some advice for her husband.

It’s important for her to know the truth.

She deserves to know the truth about her family.
