Well, this is yet another development in the never ending drama that is my life.
A woman randomly knocked on my door today, saying that she is my father's wife, and that he would like to meet me. She handed me a rather nice letter written by him, in which he asks to meet me.
Now, I have no problem with this (as this wasn't a situation where he 'walked away' from responsibility).. he was forced out.
My mother always said he was a very nice guy (I've never met him, nor has he met me).
What should I talk about? I know I'm going to leave things like politics, religion, etc, out.
But how in the world can you generate a relationship, from one that is essentially non existent?
I'm not one of those fatherless people who claim to be 'incomplete' without him, nor was I the one that actively seeked him out.
I would just as well live the rest of my life without meeting him (as I had planned), but I don't see the harm in meeting him, as from his letter, he seems to have a genuine interest in establishing a relationship with me.
Considering I'm not yet wealthy and/or famous, I can only assume it is for the right reasons.
Has anyone else here only met one of their parents later in life? And how was your first meeting?
