When she met my father it was in a pub in Newcastle about 3 months after he had moved up there. This poor woman screeched down the phone crying. I told her my name and that I was actually his daughter, his only daughter I thought up until that moment and that I had two other brothers who were older and my parents had in fact, been married for over 35 years. Livid at him mostly, for what he'd done to my mother and us as a family whilst he had supposedly been working hard and "all alone" up north whilst his wife and children sat on their thumbs in Wales patiently waiting for his return every two weeks for five years. I called her - I can't say I was ever nervous or anxious about this call but I remember feeling livid. She proved it 100% by scanning and sending me copies of the birth certificates and some photos she had of him and their daughters when they were just babies and she told me to call her.
She confirmed that he was the father of her children after I sent her some details and a photo from that time. I didn't contact them because I had a suspicion they'd have no idea they had siblings and my suspicions were confirmed when I contacted their mother on there instead.Īt first I told him I was a "relative" of my dads and I wanted to know more about any children he potentially had because I was trying to track him down. They still used the last name given to them at birth (our fathers). I found the children (now grown women) Facebook pages.
I was only a little kid and I missed him so much and so did my brothers and mum, he worked on a 2 week on, 2 week off rota though so he was always back and forth. This rang alarm bells immediately because my dad had worked in this region for 5 years with the company he worked for in the early 90's. The births were registered in north of England, in the Newcastle area. He has very unusual first and last names so curiosity got the better of me, and I started to find out more. His name brought up results for not only myself and my two brothers births, but 2 other births. Side note - He and my mother have been married for over 35 years. I found out over Christmas whilst doing a family history search online that my dad had fathered 2 children by a different woman about 20 years ago. >!insert spoiler here!< Other subreddits you might like: some
