jodelie, "otb 'mothers husband'? unnecessary"

I was quoting. The poster used the phrase to distinguish and I was being respectful to his/her view.

otb. My stuff up, I apologise

jodelie,

That is very kind of you. No problems at all. Have a good day.

onthebeach,
He did accept me and even scooped me up on the airstrip as he crossed the tarmac despite the fact that he looked like a scarecrow and weighed about 5 stone.
I think he was just glad to be back alive and any semblance of reality was acceptable.
He developed what we now know as PTS (then 'shellshock') and spent years in and out of "The Huts" at Yaralla Military Hospital (113 Australian General Hospital)which was a special section for the uncontrollable violence these patients presented from time to time.
There was a special act of Parliament that dictated no criminal charges or convictions and the patients were handed back to the repatriation dept. for whatever treatment was available.
Unfortunately my 'father' developed a psychosis that made him believe I was the product of a union between my mother and Japanese prison guards and we both suffered terrible violence over the years.
It ended for me when I fired 16x.22 shorts through my bedroom door into him as he tried to hack the door down with an axe to behead me.
He lived and I left home.
It ended for my mother when she dropped dead from an undisclosed cancer of the uterus. She was 36
Such were the days.
I have a lot to do wit ex prisoners of war and my experience was very common indeed.

ChrisGaffe1000, what a dreadful story!
The war certainly affected your family badly, and that is very sad.

I don't believe that any woman should lie to her husband about the paternity of her child.
However, I do understand why some women do keep quiet in the desperate hope that the baby could belong to the husband.
Maybe they think that if they do speak up about the possibility of the child not being their husbands, then even if he turns out to be the father, she will lose him anyway?

We had the opposite problem in one side of my family.
My uncle was never faithful to my aunt, and obviously never used protection either, because my cousins found out very late in life that they had 5 half brothers!
In the small town they lived in it's just lucky none of my female cousins ended up marrying their unknown half brothers.

IN ONE/ON-LINE/Opinion thread..there was a family
With much confusion..as you will see

It was a mama and a papa,.and a boy who was grown
Who wanted to marry..and have a wife of his own

He found a young girl,..that suited him nice
And went to his papa to ask his advice
His papa said son, I have to say no
This girl is your sister but your mama don't know

Woe, is me, shame and scandal in the family
Woe, is me, shame and scandal in the family

A week went by and the summer came 'round
And soon the best cook in the island he found
He went to his papa to name the date
But papa shook his head and to him he said
You can't marry this girl, I have to say no
This girl is your sister but your mama don't know

Woe, is me, shame and scandal in the family
Woe, is me, shame and scandal in the family

He went to his mama and covered his head
And told his mama what his papa had said
His mama she laughed, she said go, man, go
Your daddy ain't your daddy, but your daddy don't know

Woe, is me, shame and scandal in the family
Woe, is me, shame and scandal in the family
