When I was 18 year old I abruptly found out my mom wasn't my real mom, my 'sister' was. AMA
Post Body

I'm guessing this isn't the strangest situation ever, but sometimes it feels good to talk about it. I'm a 36 year old man now with a wife and toddler, but it still permeates into almost every aspect of my family life. My 'sister' was 16 when she had me and hid her pregnancy under baggy clothes until it was far too late to abort. Feel free to ask me anything; I'm an open book about it, and have been since the night it happened.

EDIT: Pretty sure I'm supposed to do it like this. Thank you everyone that invested in my crazy family situation. I'm the stay at home Dad, so I have to get to bed now; arts and crafts starts in about 5 hours. I'll be back to answer any other questions. Thank you so much for helping me vent.

EDIT 2: Thanks again to everyone who showed interest in this; I never expected this large of a response! The family and I were feeling under the weather today, but I'll try my best to respond to the people who commented, as well as the people who sent me chat requests.

I went to school with a girl S who’s mom’s first daughter (her biological older sister) was raised by the grandparents as their own and S was raised to believe she (the girl 3 year older) was her aunt. In 8th grade a classmate’s mom told us the truth. Around the same time S started spending a lot more time with her “aunt” but now she would sometimes call her her sister and so I thought she knew. One day walking home from school S was going on about how strict her mom is and I said that she was likely just extra careful with her bc of her own teen pregnancy with her sister. She was confused. Apparently she was just calling her aunt her sister the way besties call each other sisters.
