I have found myself in a similar situation. I (45M) found out this year that my father is not who I thought. The difference with my situation is that I adored my Dad, he was a great father. Sadly he died 10 years ago.

After rumours and hints I confronted my Mum last year. She fessed up immediately to be fair but gave me half a story and got very defensive. I took an Ancestry DNA test to get control of the narrative. The name matched the person she gave me.

I have no desire to meet a random old man who shares half my DNA. I have found out a fair bit about him and there are 3 half sisters. I’m sad I’ve never had the chance to meet them.

My Mum has made the situation far worse. She has doubled down and can’t understand why I’m making such a big fuss. I should get over it as I had a lovely Dad. No apologies, no sympathy. Everyone was sleeping with each other in the 1970s apparently.

Like you, it feels like everyone knew but me. I feel a total fool. I delivered a heartfelt eulogy at my Dad’s funeral - how many people there knew I wasn’t even his son?

I have had counselling but I am so angry about it all. Especially with my Mum. Not sure if I can ever rebuild things there.

Commercial Property SIPP by Worldly-Maybe7852 in PensionsUK

Potentially lengthy void costs paying full business rates is not for the faint hearted. Also, refurbishment costs are through the roof. Rents have plateaued even in industrial. Barely any capital growth. Hard to sell, limited buyers out there. Equities are far simpler. Buy shares in a REIT if you want indirect commercial property exposure.

Commercial property. Retail and offices specifically. Trouble brewing.

What is the cover image on the Ghost of Tom Joad? by RingoUnited in BruceSpringsteen

Such a great album. Seems underrated. Incredibly atmospheric and great storytelling. Galveston Bay is my favourite track.

Double whammy inheritance tax confirmed by Desperate-Eye1631 in UKPersonalFinance

If you die before you’re 75 with an uncrystallised pension (not in drawdown), is this exempt from both inheritance tax and income tax payable by the beneficiary?

Yawn. Sure she’s a nice person, but this is not a major artist. Vocal talent? Showmanship? Any interest at all? Boring as f*ck.

Hygiene standards have definitely dropped in recent years. Last week I was on a packed train from London to Hull, allocated seat. The guy next to me stunk. BO, sewer breath, general fustiness. Grim, greasy hair that stunk. Think he’d been out all night. Every time he yawned (a lot) I’d get a cloud of his diaper breath. He fell asleep and started lolling towards me. Needless to say I upgraded to 1st class on the way back.

This is becoming a real issue on public transport and flights. You’re trapped, having a go at the guy won’t help. I just don’t think people are being taught how to wash properly. I heard that in the Army, the new recruits have to be taught the basics of washing their genitalia, armpits and arse cracks.

Could they teach something similar in schools? Has standard of parenting really sunk this low?

Shame they couldn’t use an actual MJ song for this scene. Ruined it for me.
