History Main / YoureNotMyFather

** Another skit involved an aging Stretch Armstrong no longer able to stretch. He has surgery to restore his stretchiness but is told to wait until his stitches heal. He doesn't listen, and he dies. His wife remarries ComicBook/PlasticMan, prompting her son to exclaim that he's not his real dad.

** ComicBook/{{Raven}} outright disowns her own biological father, the demon lord Trigon, due to being [[AbusiveDad a terrible excuse]] [[ArchNemesisDad for a father]].

* ''Series/{{Angel}}'': Angel's son Connor, raised by Angel's sworn enemy in a hell dimension, gets off at least one of these Eastwood-style. He later identifies [[TheSoulless Angelus]] as his real father (who he wants to kill). In a later episode, his mother Darla's ghost appears to him and tries to stop him from murdering an innocent, but he rejects her, too.

This is either a loophole for someone who really is in the wrong and wants a reason to end the argument without defending themselves, or a way for a Good-aligned (or [[EvenEvilHasStandards standards-bearing]]) offspring to inform their Evil-aligned parent [figure] that they have [[MoralEventHorizon crossed]] [[YouMonster the]] [[ThisIsUnforgivable line]] and is no longer worthy of respect, admiration, or obedience. It can also be delivered to deliberately hurt a parental figure who genuinely feels that they ''are'' their parent in every sense but the biological. In this case, the accusation typically leads to guilt on both sides, and usually a last-minute apology and reconciliation...unless it turns out to be [[PartingWordsRegret the last time they ever speak]].

* In ''Literature/{{Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix}}'', Sirius tells Molly that Harry is "not her son." Her response? "He's as good as." [[spoiler:Later, he does become her son... in-law.]] To make this variant more interesting, Harry feels touched by this... but then goes against Mrs. Weasley's wishes anyway.

* ''VisualNovel/HigurashiNoNakuKoroNi'' featured this with Rena, formerly Reina, Ryugu and her own mother. Mrs. Ryugu cheated on her husband with a lover whom she brought Rena to meet on several occasions, with Rena unaware of who the man really was. After her mother decided to officially divorce her husband and begged Rena to come live with her, Rena made it clear she didn't want anything to do with her mom after the way she tried to manipulate and turn Rena against her dad. Rena went as far as to drop the "I" from her name to represent her removal of her mother from her life.

* In ''WebVideo/DreamSMP'' Fundy says this about Wilbur after L'Manberg becomes Manberg under Schlatt. [[spoiler: He's lying, and he's TheMole although even the Pogtopia leaders don't know.]]

* ''{{ComicBook/X23}}'' has this reaction to Comicbook/OldManLogan, adamantly refusing to accept that he's in any way like the man she knew and came to accept as her father.

'''Robin:''' I already [[Franchise/{{Batman}} have a father]]. ''[cue pan up to [[ShoutOut bats flying overhead]]]''

* In ''LetsPlay/DreamSMP'' Fundy says this about Wilbur after L'Manberg becomes Manberg under Schlatt. [[spoiler: He's lying, and he's TheMole although even the Pogtopia leaders don't know.]]

Compare[=/=]contrast with IHaveNoSon, to which the teen may fire back with this trope. Note that this trope is not generally related to IAmNotYourFather, since it's usually understood by both parties that the person really ''isn't'' their father (and that's the point). Not to be confused with DisownedParent, which is when a person rejects their biological parent.

* ''Literature/HighSchoolDXD'':
** Akeno Himejima is repulsed that her biological father, Baraqiel, wasn't able to save Shuri Himejima from being murdered by her own relatives. As such, she crosses the DespairEventHorizon and refuses to think of him as her father for a while. However, by Volume 7, she reconciles with him thanks to Issei Hyoudou's help to the point that they defeat Loki.
** Vali Lucifer considers Azazel as his true father, as his grandfather Rizevim [[spoiler:had Vali's biological father abuse him years before]]. Even when [[spoiler:Vali's biological father died]], that's as far as reconciliation goes.

* ''Franchise/StarWars'' fanfiction in general portrays Leia with this attitude toward Vader.

* ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/13720386/chapters/31519857 We’re Still Going to Try]]'', a ''Franchise/MyHeroAcademia'' fic, has Shouto do this to Endeavor after Endeavor accidentally hurts Izuku and Shouto gets really ticked off.
