Most of us have family secrets, but the secret one mother has been holding for 30 years is on a whole other level. Writing into an online advice column, she revealed the most unconventional choice of sperm donor she and her husband made.
However, her husband had had a vasectomy years prior, "too long ago to get the procedure reversed," she added. They were averse to using a sperm bank, so they had to find another solution.
the woman described how when she married her husband, who already had two adult children, "we both wanted to have a child together."
As she explained it, "Our daughter is 30 now. How do we tell her that her 'father' is her grandfather, her 'brother' is her father, her 'sister' is her aunt, and her 'nephew' is her half-brother?"
Psychologists say this particular type of secret, called internal family secrets, wherein the entire family knows the truth with the exception of one person, can be particularly damaging. They create "us and them" delineations
