I love him very much and don’t want to hurt him or damage our friendship.
DEAR AMY: I am very close with my first cousin “Landon.”
Years ago, I asked Landon to submit a DNA sample with the results coming to me, the family historian.I should note that Landon always had a strained relationship with his “father,” and I remember him as a difficult man.Those still living are a short drive from Landon’s house. I’ve gone to great lengths to protect his privacy while using public databases to research his biological family. But Landon’s children or grandchildren could test their DNA any time, revealing this reality.I love my cousin very much and don’t want to hurt him or damage our friendship.DEAR BURDEN OF TRUTH: You imply that your cousin has avoided access to his DNA information because he assumes it merely proves that he is biologically related to your family.
