View submission: What's the longest unanswered question in your family's history?
I was the product of an affair. The man who raised me, whose name I have, talked my mother down and kept her from jumping out the window. She was married at the time but her husband was not my biological father.
When I was old enough to inquire about the circumstances of my birth, I was also old enough to let some doors remain closed. I think she carried the shame of my birth all her life.
There's nothing here!
