According to the story, the OP and his brother took a DNA test for fun, but it was discovered that they were half-siblings. The OP confronted the mom, and it was revealed that his father "was a drifter and an alcoholic who was raised in the foster system and who never knew his real family."

The mother added that his father never wanted him and he was a "deeply lost person but also an extremely intelligent individual, but the foster system left him broken." The thing is, the OP’s father is already dead, and the only thing he has is a... Pause!
