When my dad was barely 17, he was into drugs and drinking. He didn't get along with my grandparents because my grandpa was an alcoholic and a dick. So he moved out and lived with his best friend. His best friend was dating this really "skeezy" girl. At one point her brother shot my dad's best friend in the leg.
So my dad had a little one night stand with the lady and didn't talk to her again. I know, I know... He slept with his best friend's girl, but he wasn't in the right state of mind. She got pregnant and didn't tell my dad until after she had the baby. My dad didn't know what to do and didn't want to have anything to do with her so he blew it off.
My dad told my mom about it after they were married and my mom wasn't fine with him leaving a child, but she accepted my dad for who he was.
The thing about my dad is that when I was 3, my mom made him go into rehab. He was huge on alcohol and multiple drugs. He doesn't like to be reminded about his life before he was 25 because it was so messed up.
So 12 years ago my mom and dad met with my half brother, whose name is Justin. Justin just wanted to get to know us, but my dad didn't want to deal with it still. In December Justin wrote me and my sisters and told us that we were possibly his half sisters. It took my dad 3 weeks to talk to me and Lindz about it. I completely understand why he didn't talk about it and I respect still respect him.
We met Justin almost a few weeks ago and his wife and 3 daughters. Yup, he has 3 daughters and I'm technically an Aunt. The youngest one asked my dad if he was her grandpa and he just stood up and walked away haha.
They came over again for dinner last night. They were much less nervous. His daughters are coming to stay over this weekend so we can get to know them more.
It's a little odd, but it happens. Turns out my Uncle Tim might also have a child somewhere hahaha.
I love my dad. He's the most amazing father anyone can ever have. He's such a sweet and caring guy and I'm glad that he's accepting everything. My mom feels bad because his life wasn't so great growing up and she knows that he could've had a good upbringing with our family.
Justin is 32 and my oldest sister is almost 30. They get along really well. Lindz is still having problems with it, but she's trying. I'm indifferent. He's nice and his family is great. I guess his mom tried to shoot him in front of his kids a little while ago. Crazy..
This is my brother. He's very nice and very different than me and Lindz.
