Donna, Dad, and Me |
Mom in 1964 |
If my mother would have never "stepped out" then I would not have a sister, at least, not this one. And I really love her. Secrets were kept back in those days to save the guilty party's reputation and they stayed with them till the grave. Unlike the way things are now. So, what do we do? We go on with life. The same as we have been doing all of these years.
I can now safely research my sister's biological family without fear that I am overstepping my boundary and my sister is Ok with it. We already have a head start.
Screw the reputation of the other party I say. That my paternal grandparents excuse when they gave up my dad and hid his existence from there new families because he was born out of wedlock.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you about the reputation.
