I am a little dazed right now by a skeleton that fell out of my moms closet.
I was at her house this weekend helping her sort out old family pictures and a picture fell to the floor and she grabbed it real quick and said "I'll tell you later". So later on her and I are in the kitchen and she hands me this picture of two young girls ( 8 and 5 approx. ) and says these are your half-sisters. I had to grab the counter. My what!!!!
So the man who I have been led to believe is my dad is not my dad. Well, he'll always be my dad but you know what I mean.
Apparently this other 'dad' knew about me so I'm not real enthusiastic about finding him!! The younger of the two sisters apparently died not long after I was born.
What do I do with this. Do I let it go. Do I try to find at least the sister. I know his name, her name, her moms name, the name of the company that he owned 30 years ago, where the mom and sister moved to after the younger sister died. If I do decide to search ... how do I go about it. What scary is that she ( the sister ) may not live far from me.
I feel pretty wierd about all this. I'm not angry with anyone. They did what they felt was best at the time and then as the years went by there was never a 'right' time to tell me.
Advice? Thoughts?
