love you for wanting to know where you came from; however, it seems to be causing you come grief since your supposid father will not cooperate. This also makes me sad; sad for your children.
If not knowing if this man is your father makes you so unhappy, I cannot imagine how your kids see you. You have two children that could turn that bad energy into something glorious; all you must do is focus on them, and not you or the issues with you fake father.
I know this may not be something that you want to hear; but who cares if this man is your father?
He was not there for you when you were growing up. He does not deserve to be your father!
He definately does not deserve to be a granfather either.
I say move on from this bad tasting subject. It is obvious your fake father has no interest in being your father. Put it past you and focus on your future. Those two children will know where they came from, and that is what matters here. You need to be a better mom than your father was for you. You cannot get those years back. Your children will not get back the time you spend focused on other things as well. Just because you are with them physically, does not mean you are with them if you are focused elsewhere.
Please do not be mad at me for being honest and blunt. You are doing your children and new husband a huge injustice by forcing this issue.
Let it go. Move on and enjoy the time you have with your children. They are the future, not your absent father.

Explain why you want it. Explain that you aren't just trying to bother him and it's really for your benefit. [ xomegaroni's advice column | Ask xomegaroni A Question ]
