Dear McKoy: I Found out My Mother is My Grandmother

Dear McKoy,
I recently discovered my mother is actually my grandmother. My so-called sister gave birth to me at the age of 15. She was not raped; she was just a bad little girl who wanted to be a woman. She never treated me well; she was always hateful towards me growing up. I always wondered what I had ever done to her and now I know why she really hates me.

My mom (grandmother) died a month ago and I really miss her. She was the only family I had and now she’s gone. I want to know why she hates me so much. Do you think I should ask her? Do you think I am wrong for wanting answers? Let me know what you think!

Dear J.T,

It is only fair that you’ll need closure. The only person who truly loved you died and you found out she is not your mother. I think you should confront her about it. You deserve to know why you were treated the way you’ve been treated and why you grandmother pretended to be your mother.
