Why am I the only one in my family with blonde hair?

My parents and brother are all dark haired. I have blonde hair and blue eyes. My dad does have blue eyes, but my mum and brother have brown. But their hair is all totally different to mine.
I used to think I was adopted when growing up. My son now has white blonde hair so it’s obviously a strong gene from me (my partner has brown hair).

Blonde is a recessive gene. It hides and crops up I believe (I'm the same btw, and I am definitely not adopted) it's come out again in your boy.
