New Addition to the Family (Lulu)

So my big gray hair just found out he has a brother and sister that his biological father never told him about. He found out through facebook and it went something like this:

Girl: Hey you do not know me but I am a cousin of your brother and sisters

Cody: You must have the wrong person cuz I only have a sister

G: No you have a brother and sister, you just haven't met them yet

C: Are you sure?

G: Yep their dad is Steve, the same as yours

At this point my big gray hair proceeds to start jumping up and down screaming "Oh my gosh! I have a brother and another sister!

So after looking further into it I discovered that it is true. I have actually spent quite a bit of time talking to the kids mother. Apparently she has known about my boy all this time but was too afraid to contact us. Cody has not seen his biological father since he was 3 years old, nor have any of us really had any contact with him in more than ten years. She was really afraid of upsetting any life Cody had. Cody did talk to him briefly over facebook last year but the ASSHOLE never bothered to tell him that he had siblings.

Needless to say we are going to meet them in about two weeks. His new sister is 9 and his new brother is 8 and they are just as excited to meet us!

It is a bag of mixed emotions for me. I am excited for Cody but at the same time it is so hard to hear that the jerk did the same thing to her and her kids that he did to me. First he is all sweet and treats ya real great. Then the kid (or in her case kids) are born and then he does a complete turn around. He abused her just like he did me. He neglected the kids just like he did Cody. She actually had it much worse than me because she was much younger then I was (Let's just say that Steve should be in jail right now!) My heart just aches for the kids and for her. I know what he was like when I was with him and I would never wish that on anyone. It took me a lot of years to get passed so many things. There are some things I do not think I will ever get past.
