I lost my father in February the evening before his funeral my mother announced that she was my father’s 3rd wife ! There was 12 years age difference between them so i always assumed maybe 1 previous marriage but not that she was number 3 .Im 49 years old and i dont understand why this has never been a discussion until the night before his funeral.oh i have a brother 4 years older than me and he was told over 20 plus years ago ! So i now dont know if he was my father or not .i feel as though ive lost my identity 49 years of my life gone .why did my brother know and i didnt ? This revelation has put me into depression and anxiety. Im so lost he cant give my the answers to my questions

It sounds like this was a big shock to you, @Mirage, and now you’re not sure who you are.
Are you getting any help with your depression and anxiety? It might be a good idea to speak to your GP and see what kind of support they can offer you. You might also want to look into counselling, if you think that talking this over could help. We offer free sessions at Sue Ryder. Your GP should also be able to point you in the right direction, too.
Take care and keep reaching out,
