I met my biological father on Facebook (after 20+ years) I am now 26 years old. I already forgot what my biological father looks like. There's still some memories left but I really can't recall them clearly. My mom and dad has their own family now. Of course I live with my mom and my stepfather and I am happy I do. I really don't care much about not having my real father at home because I was very young when they separated. I grew up with my stepdad but we're not really close. We seldom talk but I don't mind. It has been like this ever since but I'm not bothered at all. Actually, I love him because he works hard for our family. I have an older brother. He's more interested in meeting my father again. Actually, he searched on Facebook until he found him. My bro was so excited to tell me about it but I wasn't much interested. I didn't even bother adding him on Facebook. Maybe because of "pride"? I don't know. It's just that I lived for 20 years and survived without him so I don't feel the need to know him. Well, I admit I checked his profile because I want to know what he looks like! Haha. Like what I said, I already forgot what he looks like. My brother said he wants to meet us. Unfortunatelty, my bro is currently working in a restaurant in Qatar so it's not possible now. So he asked me to meet our father. I said I can't because I don't know how to approach him. I grew up with my stepfather so I don't know what to expect when I meet my "real" Dad. A few days ago, my father added me on Facebook. I accepted the request right away but I didn't send him a message or post on his wall. I was waiting for him to do it. And so, he did today. He wants to see me. He asked for my address and phone number. I haven't replied yet. I'm really confused. I don't know what to expect when we meet. I think this will be the most challenging part of my life. He feels like a stranger to me so I am not comfortable. I thought it's something that only happens in TV dramas but now it's happening to me. I didn't expect that I will feel this way. I thought it would be easy but it's not and I'm not really excited. I'm confused. I need some advice. Thank you.

OMG ! I`m confused too. If I were you, I would meet him just like a new friend. Something has been happened .Then we must face it.

Ask a large amount of money from him.

I don't know what to say. It's like a story. I think you should give him a chance. then you will not regret for whatever happens next.Forgiving is a kind of virtue.

Follow your heart! If you feel, you shouldn´t meet him, then don´t meet him. But - you know - he is your father... maybe you should give him an only chance to explain his version. if you meet him, go there without any expectations. Then you won´t be disappointed whatever happens. It´s hard, really hard... be strong!
