Reflecting back on family memories can be a time of
happiness or the reflection can bring back memories of pain and hurt.
Unfortunately, the family memory that still impacts my life today brings pain
and involves discovering the truth about who my biological father is. I was 10
years old and began asking my mother questions about my real father because he
was never in my life up to that point. My mother and grandparents continuously
ignored my questions so I then began asking my mom’s best friend Sandy. I was
told the truth about my father on a cold and dreary Thanksgiving family
gathering by my mom’s friend Sandy. My father left my mother the day after I
was born and I also discovered I have three half-brothers and three half-sisters.
The emotions of this discovery will stick with me for the rest of my life and
have greatly impacted my growth and development.
