A Family Torn Apart: The Fallout of a Shocking Revelation

In a whirlwind of drama and heartbreak, a man’s life is turned upside down when he discovers the ‘daughter’ he thought was his, isn’t. He cuts ties, causing a rift in his family who believe he’s being too harsh. The ‘daughter’, now 18, reaches out, desperate for a connection, but he stands firm, insisting they’re strangers. His family, however, thinks he’s being ‘heartless’. But what’s your take? Let’s dive into the internet’s top reactions to this emotional saga.

NTA, Ex’s lies caused family feud over false fatherhood

“NTA. Encouraging her illusions isn’t helping. She needs therapy. “

Mother’s lies created a false bond between OP and daughter

NTA. Family pressures man to be in girl’s life. Mom lies.

Heartbreaking situation. NTA, but consider being a father figure ❤️

NAH: Difficult situation for OP and girl, ex is the AH

“NTA. Her mother is solely to blame for this. She hid the truth from you and her for years, tried to get you to be a father when you didn’t need to be and kept it from her own daughter to the point you are in now. You have no obligation to her daughter and you aren’t her father figure. You acted as one for a brief time when she was six, i’d hardly call that memorable but with a mother like that i’m sure she wants one parental figure that isn’t insane. I would say talk to her and set the record straight, actually talk to her on a call or in person. That would make it a more personal engagement and make it clear that you have nothing against her, but that you were lied to by her mother and wanted nothing to do with her after you found out. You have your family and she needs to focus her attention on other things. You aren’t required to be her replacement father just because her actual one died and her mother is allergic to telling the truth.”

NTA – Mother lied, not your fault. Family feud ensues.

NTA. Stay away from her, but support her finding her bio father

“NTA. Her mother’s the AH for lying. Family siding with stranger? “

NTA: Sister’s mother deceived her, not your mess to clean up

Stranger daughter seeks closure, father hesitant; memories and feelings matter ❤️

NAH except the ex, who is TA. She sought you to fulfill this role. She is desperate for positive male influences. Maybe she needs someone in her life to give good advice, as her AH mum can’t, before she ends up like her. OP certainly isn’t obligated, but maybe he can help set her right.

NTA: Man questions the truth about daughter’s deceased father.

NTA: Prioritizing your own child is completely understandable

A movie or sitcom material! Not the a**hole (NTA)

Ex’s deception ruins lives. NTA for cutting ties.

NTA. Family feud erupts over shocking paternity revelation.

Ex is the a**hole, but NAH. Downvoters, what’s your problem?

NAH, except Sarah’s mother. Sarah is grieving her identity crisis

NTA. Boundaries are important. Family drama can be draining

NTA for cutting ties with non-biological ‘daughter’. Ex’s deceitful actions.

NTA. Heartbreaking situation. Mother’s deception caused family turmoil. Sister’s interference unwarranted.

NTA, but consider giving her closure through a call or video chat
