[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, is the "other" family accepting you just like that? They're taking you on your word and trusting some commercialized company's test results.

And to be clear, those brothers are your step brothers, right? Only Dad is your common denominator?

Was it a true DNA test or a general one like you and your dad both have 95% Irish ancestry, for example. [/quote]

The "other" family, whom I refer to as my brothers and their families, are quite accepting and loving, yes.  We had more than one test that confirms the results.  They are my half brothers, as related to me as the brothers that I grew up with.  Our relation is confirmed with 100% certainty.

To the poster above that responded to this poster above, thank you.  I believe that many people have kind of become emotionally vested in this journey and I am thankful for people that have been interested in following this journey.  Some people may be a little more critical or questioning of this whole thing.  I want to let you know that it is ok, because everyone has their own background and reasons.  It does not hurt my feelings. I am quite secure and confident in what has gone on.  So when people ask questions, it is out of their own experiences, and I do respond in a way that reflects that understanding.  There have been other posts, much earlier, of quite judgmental individuals.  (Not this poster that I'm responding to, but much earlier.)  Even their posts are ok as they are clearly dealing with something in their lives/minds/whatever that makes them feel like they need to try to rattle and/or hurt people.  Those type of posts I just shake my head and laugh, actually I tend to be sad for people like that.

So thank you to those that care about this journey and find some sort of inspiration.  It is for you that I am truly continuing this journaling.  There will always be nay-sayers in life.  The trick is to hold on to the positive things and let the negativity just roll off like water on wax!  You cannot control what people say or do, you can only control how you respond!
