I think I may have found an address for my half brother who I have never met. Son from my dad's first marriage. My dad gets so mad when I talk about him and does not want me to meet him or look for him. Dad has not seen him since he was a baby. (drama with the ex wife) My whole life I have wanted to meet him. I feel now that I am grown with a family of my own I have a right to meet my brother. But I am also afraid maybe he doesn't want to meet me. No one knows I am looking for him. If I find him should I try to talk to him or just leave things the way they have been for 25 years? I really feel like I need to do this. Any suggestions?

You are an adult and can make your own decisions. Just remember that it may effct your relationship with your father. If you contact him be sure you are ready to be rejected incase he doesn't want to meet you. He may have been told bad things about his father and his new family by his mother so be prepared. Lastly if you contact him give him the option to contact you if he wishes to. He may not want to and you have to respect that. Good luck

I was 12 when I finally met my half brothers, I do not think my father would have ever said anything had my half sister not ran away and showed up at our door when I was 5.
I say look him up and talk to him, he may say noway is he getting to know you or he may have wanted this as well. You will always wonder what if, so just do it and soon.
I spent a few days with my sister and her family a few years ago and we discovered that our father had worked very hard to keep us all apart, so we decided to not let this continue.

You will never get over this until you try to contact him. You will never know if he wants to meet you or not until you ask him. You'll always wonder what would have happened.
You are a grown woman & have the right to do what you want to. Your dad is probably angry over this because he feels so guilty and if you bring his son into your life he may try to get answers from your dad about why he abandoned him.
