Deal with it and move on does it make you any less than the person you are? What do you mean when you say 'social issues from non-paternity'.
Does that make your dad any less ? Tell me what he hasn't given you. Or am I missing your point here.
No, I am not a person who didn't have a non biological father, but I know a lot of people in your shoes.

Many people, and many Never find out, It's not easy raising kids, for what ever reason your Father wasn't there, Your Dad was, I don't think it was his place to tell you, more likely your moms, Probably never knew how to tell you, and may not have helped with you knowing, anything change?

Comment on Stratmando's post
A lot changed. It helped understand some differences I instinctively felt growing up. I lucked out having two great guys as dads and I know it was tough for my mom to deal with. Wish more had been done in terms of offering support I guess?

I applaud your comments and get the impression that you have a mature outlook on the situation. Yes, it must have been difficult for your mom but she obviously brought you through it. You appreciate your mom, I can see that. All the best.

I heard they once tested people randomly, and found a really high percentage of kids have different parentage than the dad, and no one but the mother is aware of it.

When you make a blanket statement like this can you show any reference to back it up?

I said I just heard it, that implies I hadn't researched it. Feel free to Google, this is what I pulled up.

This is ridiculous. DNA testing is expensive. They wouldn't just do it on a whim.
Do you believe EVERYTHING you read on the internet?

Both of the sites you posted claim only 4% or 1 in 25. That's not very high at all. Another thing from a legal standpoint. The father of the child is presumed to be the husband in a marriage regardless of biology. So I don't find any of it surprising. Nor would I say it's a high percentage.
When making blanket statements on this site we strive for accuracy. That's why I had asked for you to prove up. So people later reading this thread aren't deceived.
