Advice from Amy Dickinson.
Landon is a robust and healthy older man. Unbeknownst to him, we are not actually cousins, in fact, we’re not related at all.
I’ve gone to great lengths to protect his privacy while using public databases to research his biological family. But Landon’s children or grandchildren could test their DNA any time, revealing this reality.I love my cousin very much and don’t want to hurt him or damage our friendship.Dear Burden of Truth:
But maybe he has avoided it because … he suspects his DNA heritage takes him outside of your family, and he simply doesn’t want to confront that. That’s a valid choice, and it’s one he has the right to make.
