Quote From: svaughan10I can't wait to see this show. Our family has a big secret that we do not know how to handle. My brother-in-law had an affair with his brother's wife that produced a child. The child is 44 now and her biological father is dying with cancer. Her mother can't decide whether or not to tell her that he is her father. The father who raised her knows all about it but doesn't want her to know. Now someone has told some of some of her cousins so it seems like everyone knows but her. I hope this show will give some help with this situation.
What would some of you do? Most people say dont tell her but her mother feels she has a right to know.
My husband found out the exact same thing at a family gathering...it was not a fun time... he was so upset that so many people knew this "secret", and that he was never told. It explained so much about his dad..why he didn't care about the kids, etc... my DH found out also that the possible father died the day he was found with my MIL...ran off, got drunk, rolled his truck. Please...tell her now! She is going to find out...she needs to hear it from her MOM or one of her siblings...not a distant cousin who wants to gossip.
As far as genetics goes...it does not matter much... family is family. Wether or not it's the "dad" or "uncle" who fathered the child...it's still the same family...unless grandma....naw!, well who knows.
