[QUOTE="Marcie Mac, post: 544041, member: 47"] When I went back east last year to visit my mother who was dying, I found out from a family member that I have a half brother and sister. My father was married before he married my mother, and I have a half brother from that relationship. I only met him once when I was very small - my mother wouldn't let him be a part of the family. When my parents divorced, he lived with a woman who had 7 kids to start with - they were together from when I was 11 till when my father died a few years ago. The two siblings I was forbidden to be told about was from that relationship - everyone knew but me. I think it is very sad that my mother carried the hatred for my father all those years and knowing once she went, I would have no relatives left at all and would be all alone. I have often thought about looking for them but wouldn't even know their name since their mother and my father were not married. It definately leaves one with a weird feeling :( Marcie [/QUOTE]
