In today's Ask Amy column, Amy Dickinson responds to someone who is wondering if they should share family DNA results.
I am 84, and I have just learned through DNA testing that I am illegitimate.
My biological father and brother are dead, and my biological nephew does not answer my efforts to reach out via the DNA site. Since there is no way to obtain health information, should my children be told? They loved their “grandfather” and I’d hate for them to feel “disinherited.”First of all, I think you should reconsider some of the language you are using to describe your situation.And yes, in my opinion you should disclose this to your children.I hope you will remove all the “quotation marks” from your narrative – and your beliefs – about your own life.
