I'm sorry you were not told...finding out now as an adult...I cannot imagine the pain.
1. Talk to your Dad's doctor before you talk to your Dad.
2. Tell your doctor and your childs doctor that your medical history is false, this is very important.
3. Educate yourself on what it was like in the 60's...it was unbelieveable the way society worked. Anne Fessler's The Girls Who Went Away is an excellent book to read to understand the mind set of secrecy etc.
4. Know you are not alone, we are here and you are welcome here.
5. Take time to be kind to yourself, even spoil yourself, you deserve it after a shock like this.
6. Understand that you can search or not search, each person is different and has different needs.
Take care,
Dickons
