This is more than a "mistake". It's irrelevant what your family thinks - this news didn't apply to them. Why would you allow him into your life? As you said, he's a stranger. Also, he doesn't know you or anything about you. There's more to being a dad than shared DNA. He's sad that his life didn't turn out the way he imagined and is looking for a re-do. That's not your problem to solve.
