Hi everyone,

After seeing my dad only when I was 12, talking to him when I was 19, I have been reunited with him years later at age 47. Along with meeting him for the first time in years, I have found out I have 18 or siblings, eighth of who have reached out to me. They said they knew about me but could not find me. I was born out of an affair my father had with my mom. Nothing changes my feelings towards my wonderful mom who raised me with my brother and sister. My new found siblings are so kind to me but I wonder how do they really feel? How does my father's wife really feel? My father has had close to 20 kids from three different women and some of those I believe were the results of affair.

I'm still trying to sort it out.

Welcome to PC nipsy. This issue is a lot for you to take in. It is nice that you are being considerate of your father's wife and your siblings but your most important concern is you. All I can say it go slow in this, keep your expectations reasonable, and pause when you are feeling uneasy.

Best wishes ... I hope some good comes of it for you.

Thanks for your kind words. I'm going to visit all of them Dec 26th. with my wife. I will keep you posted.

Take care,

I agree with Little Lulu, take it slow, reasonable expectations, and trust your gut, if things don't feel right back away.
