Hypothetically, you find out your dad changed his last name because he hated his father. Let’s say he changed it to the last name of a fictional character he really liked, then went completely no-contact with his family decades ago, before you were even born. Then, 20-something years later, you discover your grandmother is still alive, and your last name isn’t actually your dad’s birth last name.
What would you do?
It seems like you really want someone to tell you there’s a set protocol for all these highly specific scenarios you keep presenting, but they’re all contingent on the human factors you leave out.
In practice it depends more on your relationship with the people involved than on a generic description of their actions.
Oh hey its a post by @Grimreaper@sopuli.xyz / @PixelNomad@sopuli.xyz alt account. Back to being concerned that your kid wants to change their name away from yours?
Honestly, I don’t think he has kids, I think he’s the son who wants to change his name
Please explain… How is your biological dad supposed to do all this decades before you’re born?
You … DO realize a pregnancy only lasts nine months… right? … right?!
What ever legal garbage you find yourself in, you can also similarly choose any last name to adopt so… fucking pointless question why!?
Are you Elon Musk?? Are you trying to figure out how to reclaim your children after they have proven they do not care the smallest amount about you??
I think they mean that their father went no-contact with his own parents/family (OPs grandparents and extended family) prior to OPs birth.
Phrasing aside, it’s still asking strangers to speculate on the reasoning of one person. That is definitionally a subjective answer. Even if someone magically gleams the reasoning, it cannot be confirmed without their dad confirming it.
So stupid. Learn to prompt users better.
Damn. I was feeling pretty happy with having found a social media that isn’t being used to feed a fucking chat bot. Dicks out for that, I guess
Nothing, not a god damn thing.
I went no contact with the bulk of family so I would assume my father had good reason.
I would be incredibly impressed that he found a whole other family to go along with his ruse fir 20 years?
If he was a good father and person overall, I would assume he had valid reasons. If I were less emotionally stable and more impulsive, I might have a little angry rant before reaching that realization.
I guess I’d want to meet my grandfather and see what he’s like
