Not sure what to title this please just read (“family” issues”) EDIT

Please be nice okay.

My dad supposedly had a son at 13.

HIS dad was also fooling with the same woman at the time (again don’t be rude).

My dad paid child support his whole life.

But the son was never around because of the mom (she was on drugs/spiteful/just didn’t care)

He never came to any family things.

Nothing.

I’ve seen him before in my life.

We live in the same town.

My dad had me at 23 and is the most amazing dad ever and the most amazing grandpa to my daughter.

He doesn’t really ever acknowledge “his son” nor do I acknowledge him as my brother.

I know nothing about him and he knows nothing about me.

Everyone who knows me knows I’m an only child.

Well today my parents, my daughter, and I went out together.

We saw him and his wife and his kids.

He and his wife are on drugs.

I didn’t see them at first so they had their three daughters come out yelling “aunt ____!!!”

Then his drugged out wife tells me that a stranger came up to their oldest daughter and said “oh you look like your aunt ____” which is not true because literally no one knows that I even have “a half brother” so there’s no way that’s true.

Anyway it was just awkward.

He didn’t try to my dad but he said “oh there’s Dad”

Idk it just put me in a crappy mood because it’s like that’s MY dad. He has ONE grandchild that he loves with everything in him.

That’s my dad. When my dad passes away someday, he won’t be in his obituary. Neither will his kids.

Does anyone else have a “family member” that they’ve never really been around and don’t claim basically?

PLEASE BE NICE because you most likely don’t know what it’s like.

Edit: I didn’t say I was mad, I said it put me in a crappy mood because it was just awkward. Like I never think about him because he isn’t a part of my life.

IMPORTANT EDIT: The woman was older. Idk how old but closer to my grandpa’s age. She was a grown woman. Not a teenager. AND NO ONE KNOWS IF ITS MY DADS KID OR MY GRANDPAS KID. My dad considered him his brother NOT his son. Also I asked for you to be nice and not rude, so calling me a POS makes you a POS. I wasn’t being rude and I’m not 15 for saying not to be rude to me because you probably don’t know what it’s like. Because you probably don’t. I don’t know what it was like for him either. But you probably don’t know what it’s like for me, so I was asking for you to be NICE and not JUDGMENTAL. Only a handful of these comments aren’t rude.
