Input: First post on Reddit and I’m typing this up on mobile. I’m a 24 year old male and I want to get to know my biological father. 

My mom got pregnant with me when she was 16 and at the time she was in a relationship with my dad. Things were fine for awhile and they kept their relationship together throughout the pregnancy. After the pregnancy is when the issues started arising and their relationship ended. 

My dad was hanging around with the wrong people and got involved with a group of guys going around and breaking into stores after business hours and stealing merchandise. Without going into too much detail it all came to an end after a couple years and he had spent most of my life in various jails and prisons. An important factor in this for me is that none of his crimes were violent and he has not been to prison since he last got out around 10 years ago. 

When I was 16 my dad signed his parental rights to my mom and my step dad adopted me. This was in exchange for all past child support to be “forgiven”. My mom and step dad always told me that he was essentially putting a price on me as if I was only worth 
so much money to my dad. 

After I turned 18 is when my dad began to try and contact me again, but he wasn’t asking me for anything other than to meet up... so I gave him that shot. I met him for a burger and noticed he wasn’t quite the guy that had been describe to me. He was friendly, laid back, and looked identical to me. When I told my mom and step dad I had met him they were furious and went into detail about how abusive he was and essentially what a piece of trash he was. I believed them. 

At this point I’m 19-20 years old and have moved out of my moms house into an apartment of my own. The woman I was in a relationship with at the time suggested I try to reach out to my dad again and get to know him more, which I did. I met him and his soon to be wife for dinner and after that they invited us to their house. We went and spent a few hours up there but I couldn’t help but feel guilty for going against what my mother had said. 

Fast forward to just before my 21st birthday. I had been around my dad off and on the majority of the previous year and had nothing but good experiences. But this is where the AITA part comes in. My mom and step dad somehow found out I had been hanging out around my Bio dad and essentially gave me an ultimatum. They said I could choose between seeing my dad or seeing my mom and step dad. They also threw in that if I chose to stay around my dad they would prohibit my younger brother and sister from seeing me (Both were minors at the time and one is still a minor currently). So AITA for wanting a relationship with my dad without having to sneak around and hide things from my mom?
