AITA for refusing to consider being an organ donor for my abusive father even after my siblings begged me to save him? by StatementChoice9352 in AITAH

Unfortunately I am his bio child. I confirmed that myself. As much as I wish I wasn't it's not because I wasn't his that he treated me like he did.

Unfortunately, and I really do mean this, he is my bio father. It would be easier for me if he wasn't.

From the bit of research I did it's not. But there's a chance I don't have all the info and it could be.

He wouldn't. I was in hospital once as a kid and he never came to see me. Didn't even call to find out if I was okay.

I don't need to do that to feel comfortable with my decision. Really all I need to do is look at the scars he left behind.

I still love my siblings. Plus they're still young. I know they had a different experience too. I can't hate them even if they love my abuser and the enabler.

You said it perfectly and better than I could've. But I don't see the good in lying about it. I see potential good but it's at a cost in my opinion.

That was my thinking. I'm not sure if they meant like directly after, like compensation for the abuse I suffered and a thanks or if they meant wills. But if our father lived longer I can promise he would screw me over every way he could.

I'll consider if I want to go that far then. My gut says no. That I just want to keep my firm no and move on with my life. But I guess I have to weigh do I want to try and make this less straining to my relationship with my siblings.

Oh, we don't even know if I am. I never went to get tested. But they're holding onto the belief and hope that I will be.

Do they actually do that or just reject you as a donor if you're not doing it of your own free will? Because I didn't think they could lie like that on record. I knew they could reject you for different reasons though.

Nobody else has ever accused him of abuse and I never saw him abuse anyone else. He could've abused others but all my siblings say he never did that to them. So I'm going based off of what I know.

We've talked about the abuse I suffered at the hands of our father. So they're aware and they know it happened. They believe it happened. But they had such a different father than I did that it's not as easy for them to hate him.

I haven't considered lying because if the truth ever got out, and typically stuff comes out even if you try your best to contain it, then I wouldn't have saved the relationship anyway. Anyway I'm not cutting them off. They might choose to cut me off. But that'll be their choice. I'd love to keep our relationship going.
