Purple, I've been reading your blogs. What a crazy story. We had one of those "family secrets" that came out when an old, crazy aunt threw it in my mother's face. Well, a simple record search proved her right.

In your case, I would highly recommend letting this sink in. I know you're on a fact finding mission, but I think you should slow down just a bit. Have you talked to your dad yet? He may be panicky thinking you don't think of him as your father anymore. He may worry that you don't love him the same. You should probably ask your mom, too. Tell her you know and you're not judging her for it. You simply are curious. You may or may not get anywhere, but this whole thing has been taking place at break-neck speed.

Your life has been turned upside down and the "truth" as you've known it your whole life isn't true. Take a little bit. Let it sink in. Process it.
