family secrets
Our lovely mum , many years ago as a beautiful young mother had a secret that we have uncovered , there are seven of us kids , right little horrors we were too.When my mum was 60 , we were Watching a cine film from when we were all young. During the film my mum pointed to a handsome young RAF lad in his uniform and told me she had had an affair with him, my surprise and laughter made her smile. She also told my sister.
Mum had a large box of photos and in the box was a photo of this handsome man in his uniform. My sister found it one day and said "is this Johns father " mum burst out laughing and said nothing. You see my younger brother never looked like us.
Mum has been gone 18 years now and recently looking at the photo and showing John how like this man he is we believe him to be his father, even down to a quiff of hair at the front of his head , the nose and chin.
Well we think this is funny , we are not in any way upset or distressed by this as we are open hearted and open minded people and we have also lived our lives. We think of how mum must have felt concerned when pregnant with John , and how she passed him off as dads son.
Mums life was not happy with dad , and we are pleased that during her life with him she had some fun and hopefully was loved by this man , sadly we don't know his name.
Family secrets .....fascinating

John thinks it's funny? blimey! the man he grew up with thinking was his father he finds out is not?
I was floored when I got told at age 18 that my brother was not my brother but a step brother!

Snap!
But I'm glad Susan's family have taken it as they have, and it didn't alter their love for their Mum, or each other.

Yup. Same age as you were as well. Took me another 49 years to find out more, but I will never know the whole story now.
