I am 40 years old and recently it dawned on me that I do not look like my dad, I have different hair then my dad, neither my mom or dad have curly hair. From what I gather, my parents have hid from me my entire life that I am an illegitimate child.

(unfortunately I was so sick myself yesterday with kidney issues, I didn't catch a single word he said to me :? ) She's been running a high fever which has spiked to 104 a few times.
