Asking Eric: I found out I’m the result of my mother’s affair

In the Asking Eric column, R. Eric Thomas addresses diverse family challenges. One individual discovered through a DNA test that they were the result of their mother's affair, differing from their siblings. Separately, grandparents express distress over being sidelined by their married son's family. These parents feel excluded from communication and gift-giving, often learning about family plans and experiences through the in-laws instead of directly from their own son and his wife.
