She Left Him Stranded
“As her little boy grew up, he decided to try to find her – and he did. When she opened the door to him, she must have panicked. She called for my uncle to close the door on him and tell him never to come back.”
“My uncle never knew he had turned his own half-brother away. Despite this, my secret uncle grew up, married and raised a loving family. He never appeared bitter, though his mother’s rejection, especially when he was older, must have been deeply painful.”
