If you knew who their bio dad was?

The mum is long dead, and you were friends with her when your kids were both babies, 40 years ago.

Assuming you knew the answer, how would you feel about receiving a message asking the question, and how would you respond?

Am I meant to consider this a serious question?

I assumed your aunt was your mum's sister, in which case it's not unheard of 🤷🏻

If your uncle is your mum's brother then I apologise

My uncle is my mums brother, as implied in my third post.

My aunt has replied.

She doesn't know anything, but my uncle will call me in a few days and arrange to meet me for a chat.

That's encouraging, fingers crossed for you that he's got some helpful information

Hopefully you get some answers. I would very much so think it is some who it shouldn't be. E.g. your mums married boss at the time. My ex step dad never found out who his dad was and it eat him up. He was a bitter and horrible person. It doesn't sound like you have but don't let this stay in you even if you don't find the truth. Learn to make peace with it. And yes I know exactly how difficult that can be
