Backstory: I did AncestryDNA a year ago and found out I’m not related to my dad or the family who raised me.

Well my mom decided to reach out to my REAL father just saying “do you remember me?” He said he doesn’t and now he wants to CALL HER

(2) You may be wondering “Eric, how do you know you’re not related to your dad?” He’s half mexican, so I should be at least 25% right? Well here are my results…

I knew I was white but damn bitch. I’m WHITE white.

(3) So my mom was dating my “dad” at the time. Well they got into a fight and broke it off for about 2 weeks(?), got with other people, then got back together. Then she found out she was pregnant and was like.....

(4) So my mom told my dad she wasn’t sure who the father was. He told her didn’t care because he believed I was his and either way he would raise the baby (me) as his own. His parents (my grandparents) knew too and they said the same thing and would view me as their own.

(5) Background: I was raised by my paternal grandparents because my mom/dad has issues as 19 yr old parents so my grandparents took me in for a while. Parents divorced/fought for custody. But by that time, I was 5(?) & viewed my grandparents as my parents & didn't want to leave.

(6) My mom is from Baltimore and my dad was in the marines and stationed in DC. So my mom moved back to Maryland, my dad moved to Houston, and his parents raised me in Texas City.

(7) *so cut to my dad and I never having a relationship and me not knowing until recently that it’s because he was resenting me and the fact he was never sure if I was actually his or not*

I mean…you can see how thrilled I was to be at his wedding.

(8) and to top it all off, I'm named after my "dad."

Yep. I'm Eric Jr.

So basically I was named out of pity and reassurance. :-)

Sidenote: Am I still a junior now or??

(9) So my mom found my alleged father, C****, on Facebook in July shortly after I told her about my DNA results. His FB profile was him and his wife’s joint page, so even if I wanted to reach out, I wasn’t sure how I would be able to speak to just him without her knowing.

(10) And guess what his wife’s name is? THE SAME NAME AS MY MOTHER.

Now you're probably wondering, can this get any more fucked up?

Honey...with my life, the answer is always yes.

(11) I was conflicted on reaching out to my real dad cause I never had a relationship with my “dad.” So it’s not like I’ve had a dad in my life or want one, but it’s also just weird knowing you’re related to someone (much alone their child) but they don’t know you exist ya know?

(12) Well once my mom sent me his FB page, I stalked all the pictures of him/my half-siblings and then found his address, past addresses, and estimated income within about 5 min.

(13) Mom always knew there was a chance but never told me. Said she told C* she was pregnant & Eric Sr. was going to raise me either way. I’m assuming C* prob forgot about it & assumed a paternity test would’ve been done when I was born - as intelligent people would do right???

(14) Well I just learned THIS WEEK that not only did he know about me...

he apparently HELD me

AND took a picture of me with him.

WHAT.

(15) BUT WAIT. THERES MORE.

I was telling my aunt about this and she goes
"Wait. C****? Who is that?"
"The guy my mom said is my real dad."
"So there's a third option?"
"Wait…wha…"
"I don't remember him - must be a third option. The other guy I remember was also named Eric."

(16) BITCH ECCCKKKSSCUUUUSE ME.

So instead of sitting here thinking I am named after a guy who isn't even my father -

PLOT TWIST

- I could still be an Eric Jr.??

(17) My aunt sent me a picture of baby daddy option 3 (Eric #2). I definitely look like baby daddy option 1 & 2 more than 3, so I think the chances are slim. While my mom hasn't told me about there being a third option, I believe my aunt here because well...my momma a hoe.

(18) A HOE I say. I remember when being 13(?) & having to take a video of her opening a package and taking the pill inside to send to the guy she had over the night before.

YES BITCH. I took a video of my MOTHER taking a PLAN B.

(19) I will say tho…at least my mom is a good/smart hoe. Having men with the same name so you can't miscall them by the others name? An inspiration honestly.

The apple obvi doesn't fall too far from the tree.

(20) My mom, being the stalker hoe she is, would check my alleged dad’s page randomly to see if any new photos were posted. She would make collages of his face next to mine and send them to me showing us how much we look alike??

Yes, I know - she needs help.

(21) Well this past month when my mom checked, C**** and his wife no longer had a joint FB page. She thinks they're going through a divorce since he and his wife aren't friends on facebook.

(22) With her having nothing better to do because miss rona, she kept asking if she could reach out to him. LIKE GIRL GET A HOBBY.

Yeah...now that he is getting a divorce is apparently the BEST time to reach out to him since he has his own FB profile?? READ THE ROOM HOE.

(23) Finally I just gave in and she messaged him saying “hey we used to work together. Do you remember me?” I made sure she wasn't going to be like “Hey! Remember that baby you held and you may have thought was yours? Well guess what!!!!!!!”

(24) Well since a week went by and he didn't read it, my mother decided to message AND friend request HIS FATHER on FB (like I said, she needs help) asking to let C**** she’s trying to reach him. Finally, he messaged her back... *screenshots from my mom and I’s convo*

(25) My mom changed her FB profile pic to one of her and I. So that means he knows what I look like…

I’m DYING to know what’s going through his head rn

(26) Part of the reason I haven’t reached out is not only because the whole never having a dad relationship thing, but also because he seems conservative & county (yes, I could be wrong) - which is usually not someone I would vibe well with.

(27) I don’t know what he knows about me but like can you imagine?!?!?!??

“SURPRISE! It’s a boy!”

“SURPRISE AGAIN! It’s a GAY 23 year old boy!

(28) To my knowledge, my dad and most of my “family” in Texas don't know about the AncestryDNA test. I told my grandparents in the heat of an argument but they didn’t really believe me. Plus even if they did and tried to tell my dad, he has them blocked on everything.

(29) So now I guess I’m just waiting for C**** to reach out to my mom again? Or him to reach out to me? Maybe? I don’t even know what's going on at this point

Where is Maury when you need him? Is he doing house calls during COVID-19?
