[QUOTE="ThreeShadows, post: 544039, member: 6370"] TM, my husband's family had a case where a boy was raised as the brother of his mother. When he found the truth, at the age of 16, he ran away from home and joined the Merchant Marines. I don't know if he ever reconnected. When we got the boys, my father in law begged me not to tell them. He said they would gang up on me. He was right, they finally realized that I was scared of their size (you've met me, they were hockey players). I've agonized over whether or not I should have lied to them. It would have been so much easier for husband and me, so much harder for them. I'm glad they have known the truth all these years. It was hard, I was bending over difficult child 2 when he was little and he asked me if he could hear his daddy's voice when he was in my tummy. That was really painful. [/QUOTE]
