How do I tell my kids that they were conceived with fertility treatments using donor sperm and that their dad is not their biological father?

Ah. I'm going to sit with your 21-year-old one day and they're going to say if they lied about this, then they probably lied about everything else. What in the world is going on? This is John with the Dr. John Deloney Show. Hope you're doing well. It's been a rough week, if I'm being honest with you. There's lots going on in personal life, friends and family. And just know...

This show is about real people going through real stuff. And I'm not immune to it either. And so just know that I'm in it with you. And I'm a dad trying to do the next right thing. I'm a husband trying to figure out how to do that well. And I'm a son and a brother and a sister and a grandkid. And I'm just trying to do that stuff right. And it's hard, man. It's messy out there.

And I think that's the origin of the show is always dreaming that I had someone I could sit with. And sometimes I did. Sometimes I didn't. And that's my commitment to you guys. I'll be here. I know a lot of you are struggling with stuff and there's nobody to call. And that's what this show is about.

Your mental and emotional health, your relationships, your friends going through hard stuff, family stuff, whatever you got going on. That's my promise. Give me a buzz. 1-844-693-3291. If you're a thousand years old, that calls toll free. If you don't know what the words toll free mean. That means you're probably born in the century. Or go to johndeloney.com slash ask, A-S-K.

100.522 - 107.347 Dr. John Delony

Kelly, do you remember when we used to have to have a long distance card to call anybody that wasn't in our area code?

107.547 - 110.029 Kelly

Oh my gosh, I had not thought of that in forever, but I, yeah.

110.189 - 117.074 Dr. John Delony

Like when I went to college my freshman year, I had a calling card memorized, just a number memorized, so I could punch in 16 digits to then call a friend.

117.094 - 121.998 Kelly

When I moved here from Texas, my mom got me a calling card so I could call home.
