Her Mom Kept It Hidden For 34 Years That She’s An Affair Baby
Growing up, this 34-year-old woman was the only child of a single mom. Her mom raised her all alone and never once brought up her biological father, who clearly wasn’t a part of their lives.
When she was six, her mom got married, but her mom’s husband only stuck around for seven years.
He was a terrible father figure who cheated on her mom multiple times and had a problem with alcohol.
“I did ask my mom a couple of times when I was younger about my biological father, but she only told me that it was a friend of hers who was not ready to be a father, and that is why he was not with us,” she explained.
Her mom never provided her with more information than that, so she went nearly her whole life not knowing his name or anything about him.
For some time, she gave up asking about her biological father, and then she told herself she shouldn’t be interested in a man who didn’t care to know her, his child. She also rationalized that she didn’t need him to be in her life.
She is currently married and has two sons. After one of her sons was diagnosed with Autism, it made her think a lot about her biological father and his side of the family.
She began to feel anxiety over the fact that she could have genetic problems that could influence her children.
She started seeing a therapist to help her work through confronting her mom about her biological father.

She hates being confrontational and was concerned that bringing up her biological father again could somehow ruin her relationship with her mom, which is why she sought professional guidance.
Several days ago, she bravely confronted her mom, who revealed that the real reason her biological father wanted nothing to do with them was that he was married.
So, her mom had kept it hidden from her for the majority of her life that she was the product of an affair.
Her mom gave her the name of her biological father, and as soon as she got back home that evening, she rushed to do an internet search.
She found her dad online, and she felt enthralled as she looked through all of his photos and posts. Not only is he married, but he has a minimum of four daughters. Three of her half-sisters are older than she is, and one is exactly her age.
“I honestly don’t know what to do,” she said. “I am curious to talk to the man and see if he will answer my questions, but I do not know how to approach him.”
“I don’t want to make a mess in anyone’s life, but I think I deserve to be heard. this makes me feel like the hidden child, and I think I deserve at least a conversation.”
“I do not want to hurt my mom in any way because she kept this hidden for 34 years, but I know that is my right to know where I came from.”
