Thanks for the advice folks, I'd half expected the normal level of abuse, so ta for not giving it.
We shall see how it goes. Life is too short, must get it over and done with, so I can move forward.

Originally posted by Sysman View PostSerious question folks. In one of my not exactly sober moments, it occurred to me that my father isn't really my father. There were rather too many jokes when I was a kid about the milkman and maybe they picked up the wrong baby from hospital.
But if I am a proper bastard in the legal sense, it would explain why I had so much pain from my father over the years, and why he mistreated my mother.
Given that my dear old Mum died more than 15 years ago, I can't ask her, but I do remember being told not to bother visiting her in hospital for her last few hours in this world, and have often wondered why. Was she going to spill the beans to me?
Please answer gently folks. Remember that we are talking about my Mum.

I think I'd have to know also - I think you should ask him outright. Get the pain over quickly - like pulling a plaster off. Good luck!

There was a piece on GMTV this morning () about adoption. The social services insist that adopted children know their own backgrounds.
Did any of you watch the drama last night on BBC with Michael Gambon? similar theme.

Not the same I know, but when I was about 30 I found out that on my mum's father was Swedish and her mum Irish.
That was a bit of a surprise to someone who previously considered himself English through and through.
Trouble is, she ran off when I was young so I never get to ask her about it.

If he is not your real dad, do you want to find your real dad? I did this and I believe my story is in an earlier thread and it is tough and exciting but you need to want to do it...
