What relationships have a positive impact on you?

The relationships I have had with females. I do not mean seeking a partner. Since high school I have had few relationships and no lasting relationships with males socially.

I know we put a lot of emphasis on having both men and women in the lives of children as they grow up and mature into whatever they become as adults. I do not disagree.

It goes back to the age old question which has the most influence, both parents or single parents whether it is mother or father, or surrogates.

I grew up as an only child with little contact with my four brothers, my biological mother and none with my father. No contact with either of their siblings.

I always wanted a sister. I have some wonderful play sisters. In June of this year I found out who was my father. I am the oldest of his children, and I have a sister and a brother. We have a lot in common.

My sister and I communicate almost every day in one form or the other. In many ways she has added joy to my life.

My only regret is that we did not meet each other earlier. Thank God for giving scientists and doctors the knowledge to discover and read DNA.

There are a lot of secrets out there that need to be revealed. Our ancestors kept a lot of secrets for whatever reason. I know some are afraid to know the truth. You might become as happy as I am for trying Ancestry.
