Have nc for this.
I've posted about this before, but didn't get many responses, not in AIBU so please be gentle.

I'm mid 50's and adopted, I have half brother and half sister I've never met. They know about me though and are in their 40's.
Our mum died when they were teens, I never met her.

Having recently done my DNA I found that I couldn't link anything so a friend sent my DNA to cece moore associates in America, after being tested by Durham University.
There was no mistaking my father is also my uncle.
My mum was 15 and raped by her brother and I'm the product of incest, rape and paedophilia.

If you were my siblings would you want to know?
What would you do tell, or keep.

I've written the letter you don't post and it helped me a bit, but I'm currently in counselling and can't move on.
I burst out crying at nothing, my kids are/were worried about birth defects for their future children.
I'm a mess and was thinking of writing the letter we do post.

AIBU to write and post a letter to him (bf) and my half sibs.
or Just write one to him.
I know that leaving it won't give me closure, I have lost a fair amount of weight as was throwing up for 6 weeks when I first found out and it's taking over my life.
My dh said leave it, could be opening up another can of worms, but surely I have the right under the circumstances to be able to move forward.
Would you want to know if you were one of my siblings.

I feel so sad reading all this, I cant imagine how you feel. You did the right thing, you deserve a voice in all of this to. I really hope you can move on with the loving family you have made for yourself and be stronger than ever. Best wishes Flowers
