My husband has also told me that he's open to couples therapy, which is a big step for us and I'm hopeful it will help us navigate this together. To confirm some things, yes, my father-in-law is the donor which makes him not only my husband's father, but also mine. It was a lot to take in. We're both really angry that my husband's dad never told him the truth.

And at the moment, neither of us are talking to him. It's just too much. We've also discovered about 40 other siblings so far, all of whom live nearby. That was another layer of this experience we weren't prepared for. We haven't met them all yet, but knowing they're out there brings its own set of challenges and questions. As for our marriage, no, we're not divorcing.

We love each other and are committed to working through this, but we haven't told our children yet. We plan to get professional advice before we do. This isn't something we want to rush into without understanding the best way to approach it for their sake.

I know many of you are part of the Donor Conceived community, and I just wanna say that while I'm very aware and involved in spaces like We Are Donor Conceived, and I follow creators like Laura High, Donor Dylan, the queer mama, Rachel, strangers like me, DC, Sunny, Evie Lucas, et cetera. I'm not interested in speaking to anyone publicly about our situation.

I'm really proud of people like Victoria Hill for going public, but that's not what's best for my family right now. Thanks again for listening, for the advice, and for your understanding. We're taking this one day at a time. Oof. Oof. So I guess there are, there's a lot of creators that are in, I don't know about this situation.

I don't know anything about it. I really don't know much about donors and how it operates, but it does seem wild to me that, like, especially because I know I've heard of that documentary of the guy with a thousand kids, where it's like, wait, if you can donate, if those types of issues can happen, like, people need to know.
