Teen discovers politician father, confronts him about their relationship
ESH besides your mom. Your “father” has provided child support your entire life. That’s all he has to do as 1/2 of the couple who created you. Some people don’t want to be parents, and they shouldn’t be judged for that. Your mom chose to keep you; that was her choice. Do you really think growing up with a father who clearly didn’t want to be your parent would have been a better alternative? So he’s a hypocrite, so what? Your mom is the one who wanted a child, and your father made sure you were financially supported. It sounds like they had an agreement. You’re not entitled to anything more just because you’re related by blood. Your mom is right, there are nuances. And neither acting like a bratty teenager nor drunk dialing his office makes you look good either.
ESH: Nuanced situation with emotional absence, financial support, and hypocrisy
ESH but your Mom. Your responses to all of the comments are really selfish and based on unrealistic (but understandable) emotional expectations.
Your mom doesn’t want possibly shameful past behavior put out in public and your response is basically “too bad, you didn’t consult me because I was a fetus and now I can do what I want.” The way politics are going now, there is every possibility that she will be shamed and your bio dad will be unscathed. Maybe you hate your Mom and don’t care if your actions have consequences for her. Although you have a scholarship, it’s possible that she factored his contribution into rentmortgage, food and clothes for you- a scholarship won’t cover that.
You want to publicly reveal your father’s hypocrisy AND have a relationship with his family? Not likely, especially given the drunken phone call.
I’m being harsher than I feel, but you need to get some counseling around this and possibly some sessions with your mother before you approach your bio dad again. You of course are filled with rage, but that’s not going to lead you where you want.
