So I went and heard the guy out. 36 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:33,040 Speaker 1: He told me they met up once. Then a few 37 00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,640 Speaker 1: months later he found out she was married and pregnant, 38 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,840 Speaker 1: but she told them he wasn't the father because, according 39 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,240 Speaker 1: to her, she already knew she was pregnant when she 40 00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 1: cheated on my dad. Which odd time to start cheating. Yeah, 41 00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:49,520 Speaker 1: after you know you're pregnant, right, True. But he says 42 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,920 Speaker 1: he was always suspicious and he decided to get a 43 00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,640 Speaker 1: private investigator to find me once he knew I was 44 00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:56,400 Speaker 1: a legal adult. 45 00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,720 Speaker 2: WHOA, that's a long time to like, bro, my man 46 00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:03,240 Speaker 2: has it's been pluck eighteen years I've been waiting. You 47 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:06,560 Speaker 2: almost have to admire the dedication of what this might be. 48 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:10,120 Speaker 2: My son literally waited eighteen years. He waited until I 49 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,360 Speaker 2: was a legal adult, so my mom can't say anything 50 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 2: or keep me from him. Then, just when he finally 51 00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:18,560 Speaker 2: saw me and had seen all of our similarities. He 52 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,799 Speaker 2: knew he could be my dad.

I didn't want to see in 54 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,760 Speaker 2: the beginning, but yeah, there's a lot of similarities, and 55 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,160 Speaker 2: I hate it. We went to a lab place to 56 00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,600 Speaker 2: do I does he hate it though? I guess because 57 00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:34,079 Speaker 2: his wife is being turned upside down? 58 00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:37,679 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's all I say? What's wrong with this? 59 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:41,679 Speaker 1: What's up?

The second time we talked 175 00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 1: was last week. Again, he told me to leave him 176 00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:11,560 Speaker 1: alone because he's done. He's not my dad, he never was, 177 00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:14,000 Speaker 1: and accept that. And you know what, I said, Fine, 178 00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:16,440 Speaker 1: sorry to bother him, don't ever come back, even if 179 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:18,520 Speaker 1: he changes his mind, and I hung up. My dad 180 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:20,840 Speaker 1: doesn't want anything to do with me. My mom is 181 00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:23,240 Speaker 1: a cheating bitch that started all this, so I'm done 182 00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:25,560 Speaker 1: with her too. The only person who's been there for 183 00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:28,520 Speaker 1: me is my biological dad and my mom's family. No 184 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:31,600 Speaker 1: one in my dad's family, not even my grandparents, will 185 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,679 Speaker 1: talk to me. It sounds like a shit show and sad, yeah, 186 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:37,319 Speaker 1: but I've learned to accept it. All this time, me 187 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:39,560 Speaker 1: and my bio dad have been getting to know each other. 188 00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:42,000 Speaker 1: Every night for the last month, we have dinner together 189 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:45,080 Speaker 1: and talk about life. He's been most supportive. He's paying 190 00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:49,640 Speaker 1: for me to do some therapy jeez needed. Yeah, yeah, 191 00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:52,240 Speaker 1: I deserved so I can talk about everything with someone. 192 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:54,760 Speaker 1: He's been a really good guy. I'm happy to beginning 193 00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:57,000 Speaker 1: to know him and at least not everything that came 194 00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:59,880 Speaker 1: out of this was bad. Haven't worked up to calling 195 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:04,040 Speaker 1: him dad quite yet, but we're getting there. Holy moly, 196 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:06,560 Speaker 1: that was a doozy of the story. What do you 197 00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:09,280 Speaker 1: think about, like just what just happened? Because yes, Op 198 00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:11,920 Speaker 1: told the truth to his dad, but like his whole 199 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:15,040 Speaker 1: family unit kind of fell apart because of it. Yeah, 200 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:17,320 Speaker 1: which is like a really high price to pay for 201 00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:20,320 Speaker 1: the truth. So it's like I could see in a 202 00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:23,320 Speaker 1: world of him just nuts saying anything. But could you 203 00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:27,200 Speaker 1: live with that that truth? I don't know. So what 204 00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:29,200 Speaker 1: do you think Op should have done? And what would 205 00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:31,640 Speaker 1: you have done in this situation? Put your experiences in 206 00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:34,680 Speaker 1: the comments. But John, what do you think about Ope's choice? 207 00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:35,480 Speaker 3: I mean that is a quit. 208 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:37,840 Speaker 2: Like if you could have a crystal ball and you 209 00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:40,480 Speaker 2: could see like both paths, you know what I mean 210 00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:44,079 Speaker 2: of like having everyone in your family leave you.

Back when I was 264 00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:04,480 Speaker 1: in college, I had a roommate that I had met 265 00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:07,439 Speaker 1: intro week over the summer. We'd hit it off, decided 266 00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:10,199 Speaker 1: it would be perfect, and it was until it wasn't. 267 00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:13,160 Speaker 1: So brought my TV from home and my parents paid 268 00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:15,360 Speaker 1: for cable for the room. If I came home and 269 00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:17,520 Speaker 1: she was watching TV, I didn't mind. Then I just 270 00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:19,439 Speaker 1: asked for the remote and she'd tell me her show 271 00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:21,640 Speaker 1: was on in three hours and I couldn't use my 272 00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:25,160 Speaker 1: own TV. Excuse me, bro, her parents got the TV, 273 00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:27,120 Speaker 1: she can't use her own TV. Come out next. I 274 00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:29,360 Speaker 1: had a storage bin full of snacks i'd buy when 275 00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:31,960 Speaker 1: my mom would send me some money, just cereal, granola bar, 276 00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:34,120 Speaker 1: you know, college craft. I go home for a weekend 277 00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:37,640 Speaker 1: and then she would eat everything everything I'm talking literally 278 00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:39,920 Speaker 1: every single food item in the bed and then leave 279 00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:43,720 Speaker 1: me with nothing popper in the window. She wouldn't even 280 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:46,120 Speaker 1: tell me she had done it. I just find everything empty, 281 00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:48,800 Speaker 1: and no, she never offered me money or replaced anything. 282 00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:50,640 Speaker 1: I tried talking to her about it, but when that 283 00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,280 Speaker 1: didn't work, I decided to get petty. Petty, We're v 284 00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:55,800 Speaker 1: we love it. She'd leave her ID everywhere, and I 285 00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:57,960 Speaker 1: started taking it and hiding it so she would have 286 00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:00,360 Speaker 1: to get a new one from the office. It costs 287 00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:02,679 Speaker 1: twenty dollars every time she had to replace it.
