Now wondering if this is why the cousin cut off contact. Maybe knew something the others didn't. At the very least, your cousin is much more discomforted by all this than your siblings, who seem to have made peace with Dick's life events.

Nah, he thought I was being pushy. He was supposed to call me on a Monday and then didn't. I waited until the following Monday and sent him a message. He didn't like that because I was supposed to wait for him to email me.
Jeez what a little crybaby bitch.
You know what they say about people who live in glass houses...
@Dave isn't the only one might end up inspiring a Ray Steven's song:
Sounds like the operatives of a certain someone... all I'm saying.

Ravage, plunder, pillage, maim, and put big hickeys on all the fair damsels! YAAAAAAAA!

Been a while since I've updated this. Mainly because not much has happened. Rick (brother?) has had the paternity test to give to Dick (dad?) since about Christmas and just today took it over to him. So I did mine and after Rick sends me the code (because we're in separate states, we have to get a case number from the lab and write it on both tests so they know WHO to test it against) I'll mail it off. After the lab gets it, they say it'll take about 2 days. So it's conceivable that I will know by the end of this week if Dick is my father or if I get to ruin Ken's (cousin) day.
Oh awesome, now you can finally learn what life was like before you.
You know, like the Big Bang.
Wasn't that the term scientists gave for Daves conception?
Who would've guessed the Big Bang was an extramarital one?

Well, duh, it predates the institution of marriage.
No no no, you're confusing it with the term scientists coined for my prom night.
"The Great Disappointment"?

The biggest!So do we call you the Big Johnson around here now?
(This statement - like my penis - is a joke.)

Now on to the mother! Dick says he doesn't remember her so I'll probably have to go the DNA route again. I have a couple interesting leads, but these are tenuous at best so I might not ever find out.

Yes. Son Steve and I do NOT match on Ancestry DNA. So he needs to get a paternity test done as Dick is probably NOT his dad. Or the Ancestry DNA screwed up. But the first one is probably more likely.
Sorry if I missed it, but was he ok with that possibility? That'd be a crazy thing to learn after so long.

At this point only Rick, Steve's son Aaron, and I know this. So it's going to be a complete surprise. It's not my place to tell him, though. Rick or Aaron will tell him.
Putting together the family tree for this would be a nightmare.
