View submission: What's the longest unanswered question in your family's history?
My bro and I told mom we were doing the DNA thing and she requested a meeting. We thought she was telling us she was going to sell the condo or something. She told us that my older brother was the result of a date rape in 1967. She met my father over the phone from a friend and he made her laugh while staying at a relatives home until she had and adopted out the baby. He gave her another option; they get married and raise the kid as theirs and not say shit and swear the family to silence. It worked; we figured out Santa wasn’t real but had no clue about this, took 50 years for Mom to get the guts to spill the tea.

Ugh. That sounds like a tough thing for your mom to live through. I think your mom had guts no matter if she told you or not.
I hope you are all okay.
