Hi! I've been gon a long time! I've switched several jobs, got married (a mistake at this point) and lost 56 lbs. Unfortunately, I lost weight mostly through illness. Now I have completely quit booze and it's coming off steadily. Down to 224 from 286. 46 inch waist to 38. I am on top of my illness and things are looking good. Except the marriage.
Oh, and 2 weeks ago, I found out I have a 37 year old son that I had no idea existed. I have met him and his family. Wife and 2 kids. I now have 2 more grand kids! And that's all cool.

I drove to the Sherrif office with a shot out tire too. Crazy mother fucking shit.

That's exactly how we discovered my deceased Dad had a son that would be 62 now but died from COVID and sleep apnea. He was my step brother and I am the one that took the DNA test to confirm.
He had been searching for his family for years. I was so glad I helped him confirm who he was and that my Dad was his father. They looked so much alike it was scary.
My sister and my Dad's brother, my uncle, connected and all met for the 18 months from when he found out until he passed away.
I never got the chance to meet him but he had an enormous amount of friends and family that loved him. Ironically, he had 2 additional kids that no one but he knew about. Total of 6 known to everyone but 8 known to me.
His Mom was a loose woman back in the day. She hid many secrets from him. Not sure she knew my Dad was the father. She had 3 baby daddies for 3 kids. Not very common back in the late fifties and early sixties. [Reply]

OK no ones going to ask. Lay out the son scenario Burty boy. Party hook up? Ex girl friend? Drunk neighbor? Left a load on a truck stop toilet and the cleaning lady put it to good use? [Reply]

1. How long you been gone and why did you leave?
2. How long had you been split up with wife #1 before getting hitched to #2?
3. How long have you and this new wife been dating and how long have you been married?
4. What's going on with the new wife? What the rift and have you guys talked divorce? Does she even know you're unhappy? [Reply]
