Completely Lost for Words
Are secrets better kept a secret?
I’ve dealt with a lot of heartache, depression, and nightmares from my childhood…I’ve battled through thoughts of suicide, balancing a tightrope with alcoholism, and not feeling good enough or worthy to have the life I have…I found out yesterday that my brother and I have 2 half-brothers that my biological father knows about, and has kept it a secret for 24 years…everything I thought I knew is different, I don’t know how to feel, what to think…if I should be angry, upset, pissed off…anything? Should I want to know their names, where they live, or even meet them? As far as I know they don’t know anything about us, and the rest of our blood family doesn’t know anything about them…I cannot decide if this really changes anything in my life or not.

Nothing changes. They’ve always existed, you just didn’t know about them. You’re obviously going through a tough time, so maybe bringing in more stress and drama for yourself isn’t the best idea. If they don’t know about you, pretend you don’t know about them. Maybe someday, when you’re in a better position, it would be good to get to know them, but for now, focus on pulling your life together. That’s enough of a struggle on its own.
Love God, love people, and love yourself. That’s the best advice I can give you.
