Asking Eric: A DNA test confirmed I was born from my mother’s affair
A DNA test showed she is related to her mother’s ex-husband, confirming a sister’s Facebook claim that she was the result of a long-ago affair.
Dear Eric: Last year my sister posted on Facebook that I was the result of an affair my mother had many years ago. It was with her first husband from a marriage that ended in an annulment in 1941.The affair was in 1957.
Throughout my life I did feel that way. My father, mother and three siblings had blond hair. I had brown hair, now gray. My paternal grandmother treated me differently.
