When I was 7 my mom and dad separated. When I say dad, I'm referencing the man I always thought was my dad. Separating didn't make them stop being parents to me and my sister.
On weekends my mom would leave my sister and I with our dad to go do family business an hour away.
As I turned an adult the relationship between them changed. He stopped socializing with my sister and me. He wanted nothing to do with mom.
January last year our mom told us she had something to discuss urgently. She told us that our dad was not my dad. My real father was in prison and was going to be released in 2016. It's the reason she would leave my sister an I with our dad, so to drive an hour away. Her drives were to visit my dad.
He knew of me although he never met me. He was incarcerated before I was born. He knew she was pregnant with me.
When he's released, he'll be living with her.
He's scheduled to be released later this year.
Learning this news last year wasn't easy. It was stressful and I suffered a miscarriage. Around Fathers Day she came over with a letter from him. He wants to meet me. His letter was detail of his life, their relationship, and what happened to have led him to be in prison all these years. He wants to form a relationship with me, and my family. He knows of my miscarriage and my current pregnancy. I don't know this man and my mom had the nerve to tell him my business.
I expressed my disappointment about her telling him my business. She feels I needed to know, and he needs to meet me.
i told my mom I needed space from her. She thinks I'm punishing her for what she did. I don't know if I can form a relationship with someone I don't know.
