I am scared now. I want to ask and see it may or may not be him. (My gut feeling is if this isn't him then he truly doesn't want to be found and if it is him .... am I ready for rejection or worse yet acceptance from him.)
Now my question is how do I go about talking to this man and asking him, without having him believe I am after something?
All, I want is to let him know I would like to meet him just once.
I look at myself and my situation and I wanted to know my son and have him know me. But not everyone is like that. Some people just don't care.
I look at the fact he did look us up when I was 5, and the fact my mother told him to leave us alone.
Can I handle the rejection? Can I handle the acceptence? I know I need to call and talk to this man at least.
How would any of you handle someone coming to you 40 years later and saying their your son?
BTW given where he lives, I would say he is very wealthy.... if this is him. I know his family had money when he was with my mother.... how do I convince him it isn't about money just my wanting to know him?
Or handle going to a man you have never met and at age 40 say your his offspring?
I truly need advice and how others would handle this....... PLEASE HELP.
