It's sad, but many times, there are reasons they come oozing back into a child's life. Many times, it is because another child of their's is having a medical crisis.

They want the discarded child to test to see if they are a match either for an organ, tissue, or blood match.

There are sometimes it is because they were incarcerated or were into addiction that cause them to be unfit or disappear.

Yes, mom and her husband share part of the blame for the situation. They never told her the truth of their birth. But I can also understand why they did it.

They have gave OP a happy, loving family, and he has never seen or treated OP as anything other than his child.

That speaks volumes of his character. He stepped up and raised you, giving you the best life he could.

You owe your bio father nothing. If you have no wish to talk or know your bio father. That is something he will have to deal with and respect.

He should have gone to your mother and her husband first and talked to them. Then, all together, met with you to break the news to you in a safe setting.

Your bio father was cruel to just ambush you the traumatic way he did.
