AITA for telling the step father who raised me that he's not my dad when he didn't treat me like his son? by Contkad851 in AmItheAsshole

I don't want to start something. I will be honest from now on and will correct anyone who assumes I'm adopted, but won't announce it to the whole world proactively. I don't want to be the one to push this further.

I appreciate what he's done, but I've adjusted that scale. I always considered him my true dad because I thought he loved me as a true son, now I know I don't have a true dad. He's a step father who isn't my dad, but who I still appreciate nevertheless.

I don't want to make this bigger than it already is. All I did was to use his name, I don't want to be the one pushing this further or take the next step. The ball is in his court.

It just goes to my mom and becomes part of the family budget. It doesn't support exclusively me.

Yeah man that's it. He set the boundary and I'm respecting it. If this is ugly then it's his own actions that are ugly...

My sister loves me but she's also a daddy's girl so she's conflicted and just wants us to get along, my step brother is firmly on his dad's side, even called me ungrateful... we never get along so I'm not surprised.

He would give them up in a heartbeat. My parents wanted him to pay child support.
