I have always had a strained, awful relationship with my narcissistic mom. She passed away last year. I've always wondered about my bio dad. My mom told me a name and when I was 19 I went to his house and talked to him. He wasnt rude, he simply said "There's no way I could be your dad, I only went out with your mom once."
My moms friends say he was the only one she dated when she got pregnant, and I knew a guy who dated one of his daughters from a marriage years after I was born. My friend said I have the same laugh, mannerisms and looks as the girl who would be my half sister.
Since my mom passed I have this need to just know for sure. I dont expect him to want to be a dad now, as I'm 37, and he made his point when I met him all those years ago. But I feel like I deserve to know for sure.
At this point in my life I dont really care if he wants to be a part of my life or not. But I would love to have some sort of relationship with his other children, as they would be my half siblings. Should I pursue this? I've written him a letter telling him I dont want anything from him, but I have requested a dna test, that I would pay for. I honestly expect the letter to be ignored. Should I still try to get ahold of my half siblings? I want to so bad, but I'm scared silly! Any advice would be greatly appriciated!

Is anyone here allergic to Sulfa that is currently taking Diamox? I have been diagnosed with IH now for almost 2 years. I am allergic to Sulfa drugs meaning that my throat will swell up so my Neurologist put me on Topamax. I was suffering from major loud whoosing noises and the topamax helped that but everyday I still hear those mainly between 6 - 12 pm. I am at my wits end and have not went...

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
good luck to you.
