Trump cheats at golf - the ONE and ONLY politics thread

Some odd parts have emerged from this. Now I have a distaste for prison movies or TVshows, no desire to watch Spotlight or anything that's ancestry.

 

More concerned about any health issues considering half my DNA died much earlier than I had been planning.

 

Wow. I'm sorry there wasn't a happy ending. Thank you for sharing this with us.

 

exmedia, my late father's father died by his own hand when Dad was an infant. Late in my father's life my wife got into genealogy and discovered through her research that the grandfather was also a bigamist. She debated whether to tell my father and finally did so. He was incredibly grateful to learn the truth which his family had always hidden from him. I'll bet your children would rather know the score than not, and you are by far the best person to tell them.

 

Thanks for reminding me of one of my favorite songs.

Thanks for sharing your story ex, I can't say much but damn, and maybe offer congrats you aren't biologically related to him. Inky is correct, too, that you should tell them yourself, I would say ASAP.

 

I will - probably once my mother passes. I can't really see any benefit to doing it now unless I catch cancer prematurely.

At least I joke with the wife that half my DNA was a decorated fighter pilot over Vietnam instead of the man in prison but anywho.

Thanks for the encouragement. Feel a moderate weight lifted.

 

Dammit, pern, some of us are here on this nice thread to get away from the unpleasantness of the tournament.

 

Hey ex,

What I got most of all out of all this is it sounds like you've done a terrifc job with your kids and are a great father. Congratulations. What you do is what matters.

 

It takes a lot of courage to admit this on a forum like this.

Good luck finding the peace you desire with all of this. Obviously if you need to vent you've found a safe sounding board.

 

That was one of my first thoughts when I read that too. Like mellowing, I chalk that up to being in my late 40s. In my 20s and 30s, I probably never would have given it a second thought.

 

Not really, BYM2 but thank you for where you're coming from. True courage would be to admit it in my "real life" instead of here -- but I can't ever do that because of the consequences, both personally and professionally. I needed to drop it somewhere. Thank you.

 

This means I can still tell my life insurance guy that "no, no one in my family has had cancer before 80" so that my premiums stay low, right?
