Oh, Oh

I did an Ancestry DNA test. A man roughly my father’s age came up sharing the same % of DNA that my mother has with me. I had no idea my mother even did the DNA test because has never mentioned it. The I contacted the man who was listed sharing my DNA with he and I talking via text. Without a question he is my father and I have four half siblings through him. The problem? The man I have been led to believe is my father, isn’t. This man told me that he and my father were best of friends and that my mother and he fucked a couple of dozen times behind my dad’s back. When my mother got pregnant with me she refused to leave my dad and told my bio father she wasn’t sure which of them got her pregnant. Well now we know.
My younger brother and sister don’t know anything nor I am sure does my dad.
Yes I call him my dad. He’s been a real blessing in my life, loves me big time as I do him and I’m sure this truth would kill him and perhaps blow everything up.
No idea what to do.
I would like to meet my bio father and half siblings and he is definitely for that.
What would most do?
Do I talk to mom about this?
Doesn’t my dad deserve to know?

Don't go down this path (to meet the biological father). Don't say a word to your father who raised you; don't talk to your brothers, because the past cannot be undone. Act as if you don't know the new information by consciously suppressing it.

I don't agree with hiding the truth. It will come out sooner or later, and when people realize you knew but chose to be complicit in this web of lies, they will resent you as much as they do your unfaithful mother and your absent biological father.

On a happier note, either you or non-biological father will be able to have fun with your younger sister, once she gets a DNA test. For one of you, it won't count as jncest. Enjoy her!

I don't see anything to be gained by announcing your newfound knowledge. Your mom was a bit wild 20 years ago. She may regret it, she may not! But, she has purposely spent 22 years not telling you about your father. She may not know for sure!
Telling your family now, will only create drama and upset what I am assuming is a happy family! Once Mom and Dad have passed things may change, but by then, who will really care.
If you want to see your real Dad and meet your step siblings, do it without your families knowledge. Potentially ruining your happy family is not worth it.
