[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was 46 years old when I was told that my "father" was not my biological father.  Apparently my biological father didn't want to have anything to do with my mother and/or with me. My true-life situation sounds very much like your hypothetical one. I am furious that no one told me earlier. I haven't had any serious health issues, but that's not to say I never will. I am ignorant of 50% of my genetic makeup. I also have 3 children to consider. I can't tell them anything about their paternal linage.[/quote]

Lots of people don't have this information so if this is your biggest reason as to why you are mad, it's silly and a trumped up reason.[/quote]

I don't think the PPs concerns are silly or trumped up at all.

I have a hereditary type of cancer that means my children have to be very careful to watch for warning signs. It is very important information, and becomes more important with age.  Knowing who you are or aren't biologically related to is important.

I don't know, OP, but my guess would be that those who work in this field (therapists) would probably advise that the truth is usually what people want.  Honesty is usually the best policy.[/quote]
