Ok ladies, here is a quick recap of a situation I found out about today. After I tell it, I would like your opinions on how to handle it.


My Mom(stepmom) called me this morning and asked me if I knew how to go about getting a DNA test done. I told her yes, and asked her what it was for. She revealed to me that my Dad has doubts that my brother is really his son. He told my brother about this when he was there for Thanksgiving.

i wish i had some powerful insight for you right now. i know this is exactly why i was upfront with dd 16 from as soon as she was old enough to understand. your situation is different though as there is a lot more animocity within the family from the sounds of it.


if it were me (and i'm not sure i'd take my advice right now) i would probably just call him and just let him know that you will listen if he ever wants to talk. i don't know though - almost sounds too simple.


i'm sorry

HI Traci,


Thank you for replying, I know that things are really rough for you right now, and I really wish there were some way I could make it all go away for you. Hang in there.
