I am 18 years old. For the first time in my life a terrible story happened, from which I can’t find a way out in any way. If you can give me some good advice, I would be very grateful.
I found out quite by accident that my mother cheated on my father almost 19 years ago. As a result, I was born. But my mother did not divorce my father. They were able to save their marriage. Of course, I didn’t know that I wasn’t my father’s natural son. I still have an older brother and an older sister. I was always sure they were my siblings.
My sister is graduating from university now, my brother graduated four years ago. Both of them were paying students. And I knew perfectly well that I, too, will be able to enter only on a fee. And so it happened. I entered the Faculty of Economics, of course, as a fee-paying student.
We did not talk about it with my parents. I was sure that my parents would pay my tuition. But when I had to pay my tuition, my father invited me in for a serious talk. He said he wouldn’t pay my tuition because I wasn’t his child at all.
– That should be your mother’s job! She had a whole 18 years to prepare herself for adulthood and a life of her own. It’s not my fault it happened that way! – My father said.
It turns out that my grandparents and, of course, my mother knew that I was not my father’s natural son. But they all hid the truth from me. My mother cries and begs my forgiveness all the time. But I have nothing to forgive her for. I love her very much. I’m just really hurt that I’ve been deceived for so many years.
I never expected such betrayal from my father. He raised me. He helped me do my homework, we played sports together and played soccer. And now he just cut me out of his life. My sister and brother don’t know anything about it.
I don’t have the money to pay my tuition, even for the first semester. I probably need to get a job and rent an apartment to get out of my parents’ house. My dad probably doesn’t want to see me at all. I feel hurt and abandoned. I don’t know what the future holds for me now. But I have nothing to apologize to my father for. After all, I’m not guilty of anything, and neither is he.
But why did he cut me out of his life? After all, he raised me and treated me beautifully for so many years! Why did everything suddenly change so drastically?
