Meeting adult sibling

Next week I will be meeting my half sister for the first time. We share a farther who was pretty crap all round. I'm from his first marriage, but he left for an OW (half sisters mother) when I was 5, and quickly dropped all contact. I believe he did a similar thing to them when half sister was a young teen.

We've both always known about each other, so it's not a surprise revelation but we've never been in contact until recently when she messaged me and asked to get to know each other. Has anyone ever done similar? How did it go? And are there any potential I should be warry off?

My partner met his half brother few years ago. They both adults with children. Share the same father. They both kind of knew about eachother. Since the day they met everything has been so lovely. The half brother is included in all our life events now and he pops round often for visits. Children have met and are sharing all the cousins experiences. It’s lovely. Feels like we have always known him! Good luck x
