Mike & Kate-
I've been married for 25 years. My wife and I have 3 kids ranging from 15-20. When we first got married I was a traveling salesman. I was on the road 3-4 nights out of the week. I got married so young. I was so immature. I'm not proud to admit this but I had a couple of one night stands on the road. It's been 22 years since that happened. I straightened up. I realized how blessed I was and 100% devoted myself to my wife and went on to build our family. I never told my wife about the affairs because I knew it would never happen again. And now 22 years later from the last indiscretion I found out I have a daughter. She just graduated from college and lives out of state. I never, ever knew I had a child with any of these women. Her mother lied to her and told her I didn't want to the pregnancy. I never even had a choice.
She wants to come to Idaho and meet me. She found me through Facebook and contacted me that way. I have two questions for OPP. I think I should get a paternity test. How do I do that without my wife finding out? Second, if this woman is my daughter, how do I tell my wife? She has no idea of my past behavior. She will be devastated. I'm terrified of losing my wife and my family yet at the same time if this woman is my child, she deserves to meet the rest of her family. I hate the idea of disrupting my perfectly content wife. This woman would be a walking, talking constant reminder of the fact I stepped out of my wife.
What should I do?
