You're the first comment I've seen that actually called out the mom. Yeah, the dad should he commemorated for who he is, but the mom needs equal criticism to balance it out.

[@ChildrenCollectingCats]

Its a little odd to hear that the mom 'had an affair' but the dad stayed with his wife primarily, and are still good friends. Op was likely lied to about the details of this 'affair' and it was more likely either the mother was raped (which would explain why they dont want to know) or some kind of polyamory that the family didn't like, and protection failed (specifically sexual polyamory isnt typically shared with family for I'd assume obvious reasons, and it might have been easier to say it was an affair over polyamory) in whichever way the affair actually was, its still very weird to stay with someone who cheated on you, and stay their friend as well

[@HarmonyOC]

​@@ChildrenCollectingCats bruh, we're you even listening to what op said? It was assumed that the wife had an affair, but DNA test showed it's not the case?

With my mom she thought we were half black because thats what she had been told all her life. DNA proved i was my dads child and someone family tried reaching out to me 18 years too late.
