SHOULD THEY REVEAL THE TRUTH OR KEEP IT A SECRET

20 posts in this topic

A married couple had a discussion about having kids but the husband was unable to have more kids because of a previous vasectomy surgery. He had a couple kids from a previous relationship and desperately wanted more with his new wife. Due to how long it had been since he had the surgery the doctors were not able to reverse it. The couple didn't want to go to a sperm bank so they decided on using the husband's adult son's sperm who he had from another relationship. The husband and wife felt that it would be the closest match/DNA to solve their problem. They successfully had another child which happened to be a female. 30 years go by and now the mother is asking for advice on whether or not she should reveal to their daughter that the man she thinks is her Father is actually her Grandfather and the guy she thinks is her Father is actually her Brother. And her Brother's children are actually her nephews/nieces instead of her cousins and so forth. What would you do in this situation, tell the daughter or keep it a secret?

Genealogists will go crazy!

I have an ancestress which married her brother-in-law after her husband died.

Why turn the family situation into "Chinatown"? I always ask myself "before deliberately entering into conflict, what is the upside".

I agree! Sometimes things are better unsaid.  Disrupting a family is wrong and disturbing for all those involved!

I had a friend who found out that his ‘sister’ was really his mother when he was in high school.   He continued to call her folks Mom & Dad.

Interesting comment, I'm curious when you say turn the family situation into a "Chinatown" what exactly do you mean?  Are you referring to the film "Chinatown" where Faye Dunaway's character reveals her sister is also her daughter?  Or are you making reference to Jack Nicholson (who plays Jake in the movie) who in real life discovered the women he thought was his sister was actually his mom.  And the woman he thought was his mom was actually his grandmother.

If it were me in this situation, I would have NEVER agreed to using a family member's sperm PERIOD but I am guessing the guilt is getting to the Mother in this particular case. In this particular case, the upside is the daughter knowing the TRUTH that has been hidden from her for 30 years. She has a right to know the truth............................

Why is the "guilt" getting to the mother, because you are "guessing" it? It is NO ONE'S business how a family chooses to conceive offspring!  Why are YOU so concerned about the "Truth"? Who are you to lay moral judgement on anyone Savior Fairy? This is an escort/client forum. Your topic is for a  Maury Povich show. Seriously WTH.

This is a truly f-ed up hypothetical.  In this scenario, the husband and wife should both be bitch slapped!   Not thinking far enough ahead to when the kid wants/deserves to know who his/her father is should automatically disqualify them from parenting. F-ING IDIOTS!

The sad truth is, this (or something similar to it) has probably happened in modern society, and will leave some innocent kid with the burden of carrying heavy baggage around for the remainder of his/her life....

I repeat. the "parents" should be bitch slapped!  HARD!

Monsieur LL I agree that it is a messed up TRUE STORY LOL. Now you don't have to wonder if it happened before:   Mom Wonders How To Tell Her 30-Year-Old Daughter That Her Father Is Actually Her Brother (msn.com)

This is the edited version since TOB wouldn't allow me to do it before the time limit................If it were me, yes I am aware that it would cause CHAOS in the FAMILY but they should have thought about this before they decided to have another child, therefore I feel that the daughter needs to know THE WHOLE TRUTH............................My 2 cents..........
