I'm sorry you've dug up papers that hurt you I'm sure. God Bless you and we do pray for you.

My, what a tangled web we weave!

It's amazing that you're able to track all this history and get a picture of your "father's" exploits. Sounds like he wasn't much of a father (hence the " ") and, like others have already said, I think you were probably better off without him! 

Sorry to hear you were feeling poorly today!

Does not look like he would have given much support Pat it puts your Mother in a more favourable picture, she probably had to be tough in those days. I feel sorry for her.

Re: Naut...

The three kids were his legal ones, me, my sis and kid bro. Marion from Brooklyn is def. not my mother who was right there in Kennewick the whole time raising kids and chickens...

Sorry you had a bad day! Maybe the session with the dentists brought on the other trouble...And the Henry thing: The guy had chutzpah! I fully understand a mistress, but getting himself a second Mrs. is something else entirely! Of course, there may have been a dad with a shotgun involved as well...And yes, as Ciel observed, there is no mention of the lady in Scotland, but two in the States. Or is 'Marion' really 'Margaret', since there are the identical three kids?

Re: Ciel, "take it easy,"

It's old stuff now - no longer hard to deal with. Like Mom said once when I said I wished he'd had the guts to come back and be a dad to us, "who knows, maybe you were better off. He wasn't very stable." She's right. It coulda been worse.

I notice neither of the wives mentioned is from Scotland.

Take it easy, Ms Pat!
