This is not a fictionalisation. This is really happening to me, right now. Every word is true, and I am in distress. I find solace in words, and hope others going through something similar do too.
As Peter says, your dad is still your dad. He's the person who has been there for you and by what you wrote I don't think anything would change that for your dad no matter what you decide to do. Give yourself time, this is big, really big. At the end of the day the "blood is thicker than water" has been misquoted it's never referred to birth family. The blood it's referring to is chosen family. Your dad is your family no matter what. ๐

Your Dad is still your Dad. He's the one who was there for you. Fatherhood is more than just DNA.
I can 100% relate. When I found out it was soul crushing. I'm so sorry, Louis. xxx
