Dear Abby

We married and had a son. Although our marriage was very rocky, two years later we had a daughter. I knew from the beginning she was not my biological child ...

IF she or one of her family members has been DNA tested and she hasn’t broached the subject with you, it may be because she has no questions she wants to ask you. We were just so touched that they came, and that after all these years she still meant something to them. You raised your daughter, and she is as much your child as if she had “come from your loins.” You ARE her dad. I am sure that she and some of her family have been tested and “suspect” but are saying nothing to spare my feelings. I feel I need to clear the air with my daughter, but my wife says to let sleeping dogs lie. Most of my family (my parents, children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren) have been tested and show up linked to me.

DEAR READERS: Along with the millions of Americans who are observing this Memorial Day, I am adding my prayer of thanks for those courageous men and women who have sacrificed their lives in service to our country.

I would also like to help my son find a job and housing so I can stop worrying about him being on his own with no place left to go. However, a way to handle this would be to communicate to her that you love her and always will, and if she changes her mind, you will always be there for her. DEAR ABBY: I was never close to my mother-in-law, "Agnes." She always came across as very religious and morally upright. This may be her way of trying to cushion herself from the pain of losing her other father in the event of your own death. I am sure that she and some of her family have been tested and "suspect" but are saying nothing to spare my feelings. DEAR ABBY: I recently married a younger lady and want to know the best way to get her to put her phone down, because she's texting about 10 hours a day. Due to circumstances over which I had no control, she didn't find out I was her birth father until she was 13. DEAR ABBY: While driving our car to a babysitting gig, our teenage daughter was asked by the parents to stop at a pizza place and pick up lunch for their child. One commented that she attended the viewing of a former co-worker she wasn't close to ONLY out of respect for his mother who was still alive. You raised your daughter, and she is as much your child as if she had "come from your loins."

Man certain he's not the biological father of the child he raised and feels he should clear the air now that she's in her 50s.
