I was reading this, and it got me angry.

I Finally Took an Ancestry Test. The Results Are Even More Shocking Than I Expected.
Prudie says: “This is something I’d consider making my therapy practice’s specialty.”
My parents and siblings are all tall, light hair, blue eyes, and great athletes. I hit 5’4” in heels and fall over on my face half the time. I am the only one with very dark eyes and hair. My brother used to tease me that I was adopted, and my mother always insisted that I just took after her Italian grandmother. So in college, I did an ancestry test, and the results were I wasn’t Italian, but Hispanic. It was like gravity turned off.
My entire world was up ended and rearranged. I couldn’t face my mom so I went to my paternal grandmother. Her response was my mom had an affair, but my dad chose to forgive her. I was born very fair so he figured that I was his and didn’t want to battle out custody of my brothers. It wasn’t until I got older that it became obvious that I wasn’t his daughter. My dad insists that it doesn’t matter and I will always be his little girl, but he completely shuts down on the topic of finding my biological father. My mom claims she doesn’t remember the guy’s name and it just a “mistake.”
