... my biological father lives in North Carolina, one state away from me. I only know this because I found him on the internet, I never met the guy. He had a twisted relationship with my mother and she wanted nothing to do with him. Two years ago I found out I had gallbladder disease, something not common among 20 somethings unless it was genetic, but it certainly never came from my mother’s side. I want to get medical history so badly, but am scared to call. I don’t know how he’ll react, and I don’t know exactly how I’ll react emotionally. I do know that if he were to just hang up on me, I’d go the legal route to get the information, but I don’t want to have to go there. I just need the courage to do it.
