[quote=Anonymous]OP I am in a similar situation. Your father needs to decide here. Not his wife. My biological father was not present in my life until I reached out to recently while in my 30s. I hadn't reached out earlier due to resentment that he never reached out to me when I was a child. I had an amazing stepdad but I was still curious about my biological father and I hated that he never called to see how I was doing. When I did reached out to him, he was thrilled. Turns out that he longed for a relationship with me but didn't know where to start. He was sad that someone else was raising me, but given how stable my stepdad was, he felt that it was probably for the best.

With that said, calling him everyday and moving to where he lives seems really fast. I speak to my former estranged father maybe 1-2 times a month and he calls me more that I call him. Maybe you should not reach out to him for a few days and see if he reaches out to you. Also, be honest with yourself about your motives. Your biological doesn't deserve to be a replacement.

You need to have a heart to heart with him at some point and ask him how he really feels about you being around. Give him the opportunity to share and be prepared in the event that he shares something similar to what his wife has shared. I wouldn't rat her out unless it came up naturally in the conversation.

Good luck.[/quote]
