So I'm a little emotional as I'm thinking about it. When she died, it didn't sit well with me. So I did a DNA test with my brother and I. DNA test comes back, we don't have the same father. So I'm like, OK, well, one of us isn't dads. Yeah, but I knew he was his. He is his spitting image, everything, his attitude, his voice. So then I do another test with the man himself and I'm not his child.

And if I could wake my mother up for five minutes, I'd be like, hey, can you just tell me? Because what I want her to know is. Is that I wouldn't judge her. She was 24 years old. This man was beating the shit out of her. She was in misery. And if there was a man that loved her, hooray for her. That makes me smile and happy to know that somebody loved her because of the way he was treating her.

Yeah. Any moment of comfort you would want for her. Yeah. But on the other hand, my mother was deathly afraid to be in the house by herself. There's a story of her being home alone with my two sisters. I wasn't born yet. And she was screaming and banging on the wall. It's a double house for the neighbors to come over and help because somebody was trying to break in the house.

That's all I know about the story. I don't feel that I'm the product of a rape, but because I have all of these looming questions that are out there, I wish she had just told me if she knew.

That's right. My mother was an extremely kind, giving and loving woman, but she's also very, very private. So I want to give her the dignity of what she believed. But I knew it from childhood. Isn't that weird? Yeah. And it wasn't because of physical resemblance. No, it was just, I could not understand how this man could look at me with such hate. So you believe he knew as well? Yeah.

And then there were clues. I think I was probably in my late teens, early twenties. They were sitting out on the porch and he said to her, oh, that's where the boy gets those eyes from. My eyes are kind of webbed in between. And she tells me, she's like, he said, you have my eyes. And I thought you've been married to this man for 30 years and he didn't know what your eyes looked like. Yeah.

So those kind of moments that made me go, hmm. So you're wondering where my eyes came from and you finally see her. And so it was a different time back then. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay.
