Hi @roleerob, wonderful story & one which touched a chord. I wasn't going to mention it as it's also a long story, but my granny fell pregnant with my mom (early 1930s), the man's family were well-to-do & wanted no wedding so the man I always believed to be my grandfather, married my gran.
To cut a long story short, Mom wanted to meet her biological father when she learned about this in her teens, she never did, but through a DNA test my nephew went for, we found a connection, but on my granny's side. This young lady's aunt knew my mom's biological half-sister & sent me a photo. The man had passed away & Mom told me to not try & contact that family.
Mom passed away in Jan, but I still wonder. In those days things like that was swept under the carpet!

Thank you for sharing your story. I think perhaps it will help others in providing a bit of encouragement to pursue the truth. There is something about knowing the truth which I believe to be very, very important, no matter what that might be ...
Why? I think forgiveness is at the heart of it. But ... That would be too long to expand upon here ...
Thanks again for sharing. Have a wonderful day! 🙂👍
