Yeah. Big loss. I don't find out my dad isn't my dad.

Sometimes, it's better NOT to know these things. );

This article talks about that. I think it was posted on HN before. http://www.vox.com/2014/9/9/5975653/with-genetic-testing-i-g...

"check this box if you want to see close family members in this search program." It's your choice whether or not you do. If you can't handle the truth, if you're going to use that truth and act on it and ruin your life with it; that's your prerogative.

Can't blame them for telling you what you asked for.

As a counterpoint I found out who my dad really was after using Family Tree in an effort to find relatives of who I thought my dad was. Anecdotal but for me it was quite useful.
