Stuff I Learned Later In Life
The Cap'n was curious, so here we go.
When I was maybe 11 or 12, I was snooping around my dad's office and came across some court documents regarding dad getting legal custody of me from a guy named Crane.
I don't remember his first name, I only met him once or twice when I was very young.
This, of course, brought many questions that I couldn't ask because I wasn't supposed to be snooping.
So it had to sit in my head until later on in life.
I had dropped all contact with my parents after I turned 18, for other, more complicated reasons.
So at some point, I asked my younger sister, the only other kid from mom and dad, what she knew.
Mom and Dad met at some "alternative" church in the 60's. They were both married to other people and had 3 children each.
This "church" was actually a swinger's party. Mom hooked up with Dad at this party, and when the debauchery was done, they went back to their respective spouses.
Little problem.
Dad knocked Mom up with guess who.
I guess that and other elements caused the two couples to split up, Dad would marry Mom and then adopt me. I was born during all of this, thus the need for court intervention.
Dad was a medium at the time, and getting paid for it, much the way John Edward does now.
He told me many stories about his experiences in the field, one of which was that when he'd enter the room, the spirits were so calamatous to be heard first he'd have to tell them to shut up and wait their turn.
Anyway, Dad was under the impression that Mom approved of and would encourage this practice, as she told him she would.
Turns out no. After they were married, she forbad him to continue because it was The Devil's Work.
Mom's always been a manipulative bitch, when she wasn't being completely complacent and emotionally absent, and Dad was rather spineless when it came to Mom's directives.
So he gave it up, which resulted in his resenting my ever being born. He was now trapped with 4 kids on Mom's side and alimony for three from his first marriage. He stuck with it though, which I respect.
He died a few years ago of an aneurism, still married to Mom.
My sister says his last words were "I'm sorry".
I never reconciled with Dad.
I still have not reconciled with Mom and my other siblings, and probably never will.
As to my having the Freak Gene, yes, to a degree, but I don't see dead people.
At least not at this stage of my life.
If I trained myself, maybe.
But since Dad has yet to show himself to me, I rather doubt it.
