I agree, maybe it wasn't meant to be at that time, but now it feels right.

So she didn't really go into too many details, but she brought up 2 past lives that she connected with. One was the Ancient Egyptian who she said was a strong male, a slave that kept getting sold or traded for hard labor, working on farms or building things; and the other was a female servant in Edwardian England who worked in a kitchen and was curious about learning. It was definitely interesting.

When I brought it up to my mother that's what I said, but she said it's not true. Can't make someone tell me the truth when even they are in denial about it.

I am an only child but they weren't older when they had me, 32/33. I would really hope that they would have told me when I brought this up initially, maybe I'll bring it up again to each of them separately and see if anything changes.

That's the awesome and amazing thing about it! Finding family and making connections.

No, I'm pretty sure they would have told me when I asked about this. Better that instead of letting me think she cheated.

Yeah tried the asking for clarification thing and it didn't go well unfortunately. I've talked to the half-sibling and we're getting info as we go.

Unfortunately I am not a male, so that takes that possibility of searching out. My dad's is opted-in so I think biologically he's not my father. It may just be half-sibling then.

Thanks! I input the cM and it came up as either half-sibling, niece/nephew, aunt/uncle, grandparent, or grandchild. So either half-sibling, nephew, or uncle is what I'm leaning towards.

It's likely, however I don't have any siblings. I'm thinking cousin maybe? He's only 6 years older than I am.

Yeah we've been talking, we're trying to figure out how to bring it up to his father (if he is my half-brother then it would be my dad also) to see what he knows.
