Here we go again, the "What if YOU were the family member of ..." game!!!

:rolleyes:

But Partagas, I have a question for you as well.

I assume that since you and the whole family knows that your cousin is the product of rape, then of course he does as well. If it isn't being too nosy...how does he handle this knowledge and do you have any idea how it was told to him? I ask because (and I almost brought this up earlier) if I had become pregnant the time I was raped, and if I had decided to have and raise the baby...I cannot imaging how I would have explained to this child how he/she came to be. And yet, I would not have wanted to hide it, either.

I know, you are still recovering from having been 'Dukakis'd' !! But since you so thoughtfully shared the heartwarming story of your aunt & cousin, I was just wondering if you knew (and wanted to share) any of these other things as well.

Whatever the answer I know one thing for sure...your aunt turned out to be a wonderful, caring, loving mother!!

Best,

Apple
