I have a female friend (English, btw) whose younger sister is actually her daughter and doesn't know it. My friend's father raped and impregnated her when she was aged 11. She gave birth whilst she was still 11. My friend's parents decided that my friend would deliver the baby girl and that they would raised the baby as my friend's "sister."
My friend's "sister"/daughter, now aged 20, is perfectly normal and completely unaware of the circumstances of her conception and birth. But my friend is anything but normal. She has suffered from co-morbid mental illnesses since childhood. She is functional only because she takes a daily regimen of psychotropic medications with physically draining side effects. Even with all the meds, she is a very deeply troubled person.
I know her as well. The tragedy of this situation is that, increasingly, jurisdictions are requiring that this information be given to the child. Modern medicine has already learned that the single greatest predictor of health, or its opposite, is genetics. So, for example, in California there are persuasive incentives to have a newly born child DNA-tested within 6-months. Unfortunately, the child’s right to know is combined with the child’s grief at learning the truth.
You don't know her at all.
She is my personal friend in real life, her identity is not publicly known and she has never posted in any forum.
Why do you make up such bald lies?
That's why you find yourself in the same, repetitive damn argument, day-after-day-after-day.
