30 years ago when I was a teenager my father came home drunk which wasn't usual for him. He took me and my other older siblings into the kitchen and cried and told us that he was not the father of my younger brother.
I was only a teenager at the time but I thought he lacked integrity because he was drunk. Also it was know he had a mistress and she had a baby and he never even told us. We just had to learn when that little kid was able to talk and called him daddy. I thought it was my father being a coward not telling us about his mistress and their baby. I thought it it was his way to maybe gain sympathy from his own mother who came from a time that would have been considered a huge sin.
It was sometimes on my mind for years like what if what he said was true.
My mother is going senile now and I do see evil in her old age.
My younger brother would never forgive me if our parents died and it turned out that he was only a half sibling and we never told him what my father said.
I am still on good terms with my father. Do you think I should maybe see him and chat with him? See if what he said was true. But it was so long ago. It was over 30 years ago and my father was drunk. But then why would he say something like that?
