tootsey Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 What would you do if you knew that your father had another son and he didnt know? Link to comment
Supa_gurl Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Your father doesn't know about the other son? WOW!!! I would tell him. But that is me...I am pretty close to my dad. Link to comment
Loki71 Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Wow that is a tough one. In one hand he has the right to know so he can have a chance to be a father. On the second hand maybe the mother doesn't want him to know and thats why she never told him. But the son has the right to know also. I think you should talk to the mother first and give her a chance to tell him. Link to comment
annie24 Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 i'd tell him what i know, so that he can maybe consider getting a paternity test and figuring things out from there. how do you know about your father's extra kids? Link to comment
tootsey Posted June 22, 2008 Author Share Posted June 22, 2008 It's a long story. The son knows who his dad is and that my dad is his dad, im presuming that his mother told him, I dont know her or indeed my half brother. Im just worried about telling my father in case it turns out this 'son' is a product of an affair that my father had behind my mothers back. Both my parents are in their seventies. Link to comment
annie24 Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 wouldn't the age of the son give it away? (if it was an affair or not?) i don't know - i might tell him that you heard that he has anothe son and see if he wants to contact him? how old is the son now? why hasn't he tried to contact his father himself? why did the mother never ask for child support?

tootsey Posted June 22, 2008 Author Share Posted June 22, 2008 I have never met him. Dont know whether I should. I never thought about the child support issue. Is it my place to go and meet him first then let him contact my father? Link to comment
annie24 Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 i don't know - i mean, you don't know for sure, how old is the child now? i would tell dad that there are some people who are saying that xxxxxx is his son. and then leave it up to your dad to decide if he wants to contact his 'son.' it could also be that this woman maybe had plenty of men and doesn't know who the father is? i don't know. just guessing.

HeartGoesOn Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 It's a good possibility that he does know, or suspects he may be the Father, but chose to keep it to himself. Just my opinion, but I think it's up to this person to decide if he wants to bring this up to the man he thinks is his Father. Link to comment
