Read this bizarre story (behind a paywall, but could be available elsewhere) about an unmarried couple who made babies solely for the purpose of selling those babies !
As the siblings found each other through DNA testing, one thing didn't add up: why their parents put infant after infant up for adoption for almost a decade.
People could always be personally responsible with their sex lives. But yeah just use peoples tax dollars to kill babies and pay for irresponsible promiscuity. It’s the Democrat way.
There are a whole lot of conservative Republicans that are very hush hush about sending a daughter away for a week on "vacation".
I would approach him and ask about any special talents or skills he may possess and use that info as a guide to my future pursuits. Imagine finding out that the father you finally meet in your adulthood was a 2:10 marathoner !
That would really suck if you didn't find out he was a 2:10 marathoner until you were 35. No hope for you then!
If you were to extract a nihilistic response from the selfish gene theory, your father was very successful. More of his genes were propagated into the future than most.
Do you believe Genghis Khan walked all his kids to school for their first day of kindergarten? How many of Genghis Khan's sons can say their dad taught his son how to fish and hunt? Do you believe Genghis Khan read bedtime stories to all his daughters?
Normally we set the bar a little higher than "genocidal maniac" when thinking about optimal parenting.
What would you think about his actions when you came of age to understand the depth of what transpired?
Asking for a friend ... (not really)
I would recommend getting a professional opinion. Get a little therapy and see what the doc recommends. Everyone is different and for some people some confrontation makes sense while in other cases that may only dig things deeper. Chat with someone.

That's a hard one to wrap my head around. I guess to some degree I would lose some respect for him, but on the other hand I would be glad it was me and not them that got him.
I am in a weird place right now where I cant stop thinking about it.
First, I will repeat a famous quote of unknown origin.
The more sand has escaped through the hourglass of our life, the clearer we should see through it.
This applies to me and my ability to see what I see now.
Second, I will explain what I am going through mentally. I seem to be hyperfocused on the youngest of the three children he left behind which is his only daughter.
When the moment is right, with the proper build up occurring based on his delusions of grandeur of being a "good parent" that come out often -- when in reality he was plainly an awful, awful parent even to myself as well as my younger sibling -- I am going to ask him what it was like to experience the opening of his only daughter's eyes for the first time. I keep replaying that moment over and over again. When life was officially breathed in and took on its own pulse. I've put myself there to imagine it vividly.
I also cant stop thinking about the fact that the most important male role model and template for all men in her life was him. He just recklessly left all that behind without thinking about anyone except himself.
I question what kind of gutless coward can actually follow through with all that. I certainly couldnt have done that. I am certainly not proud (never was). I am actually very ashamed and even more embarrassed. I feel sorry for the three of them to not have had a father present or a good father like they deserved. I want to apologize to them.
Then we get to my mother who decided it was a good idea to have children with this unempathetic fool. She had to be self serving, perhaps equally desperate and dumb. I question how a person with this knowledge could follow through with a marriage. She is just as much part of the problem in my opinion.
