True Stories

My mom had me at 17 and gave me up. At 20, I found her, but she rejected me, saying her husband would leave if he knew. A year later, her husband found me, revealing her lies. He overheard her secret about me, urged her to reconnect, but she called me “dead to her.” He hired an investigator to locate me,

wanting to meet his wife’s child. He gave me an envelope with photos of my half-sisters and money I needed. Though my mom refuses contact, he invited me to meet my sisters. His kindness made me feel like I had a father.
