Controversial - the community to discuss controversial topics.

This is not a safe space nor an echo-chamber, you come here to discuss in a civilized way, no flaming, no insults!
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, "trust me bro" is not a valid argument.
I'm almost 42 years old, and still don't know my own blood type. I'll probably never know, nor care either, unless something unfortunately causes me to leak out too much of the red stuff.
Anyways, I get you, I think anyways. I'm no expert though. 🤷♂️
If you give blood, they’ll tell you your type and Red Cross will send you a card with your blood type on it.
I’m just so sick of my parents’ lies. I hate all the memories of being trafficked to various states as child, all the memories of being in a hotel room with those people, and all of the abuse. I wasn’t adopted. I just want some law enforcement agency to investigate the people that raised me.
Damn. Sweetheart, I sense the genuine pain and frustration in your post now ☹️
I'm usually one to avoid DNA services for privacy reasons, but maybe you could check with https://www.ancestry.com/ or https://www.23andme.com/
Sounds like you could use some solid evidence first. I have absolutely no reason to doubt you though.
I wish all the best for you.
I did. I gave “dad” a kit for Father’s Day one year and he became upset. He muttered that he had to “go track someone down”. He took the kit with him, left the house, and then came back, smiling (like he usually does when he’s lying), and said he would submit the kit. Well, now I know my real dad is almost entirely Scottish and part Norwegian. He is definitely not the black haired, squatty, frog shaped oaf that raised me, and loved to beat me up each time his boss turned him down for a promotion at work. I just want to meet my real dad. There is a man in our community that works as a principal for local school (about thirty miles from me), and everyone swears that guy is my biological dad. He even looks like me. I think “dad” bought a used Dodge from him just recently, too, but became irate when I asked him to tell me who sold it to him. I felt like asking, “did the guy sell you a baby in the late ‘80’s, too?”
I'm no expert in this field, but if you're within the United States, there are services you can call regarding human trafficking..
I filed reports with the local police, and even an online report with the feds. “Dad” likes to bully me about the fact that no one is going to do anything about what happened to me as a child. He smiles and then tells me about how much he enjoys spending time alone with my kids. I signed them over to my mother, when I tried to join the military. I already had a career, but it wasn’t paying the bills, and I didn’t feel safe around “dad” after being forced to live with him during my divorce process. My mom filed for divorce from him, and I thought I could trust her to watch my kids, while I tried to enlist. She moved to another house to get away from him, and then suddenly began letting him visit the kids there. She lets him visit my kids alone, in her house, when she has places she needs to go. She is essentially giving him access to my children, without my consent, and I am struggling to put together money to pay a lawyer to make it stop. My daughter is upset and has told everyone that she no longer wants to live with grandma. She wants to live with me. Me and my poverty, as I struggle to regain a solid career again, after being refused by the Army NG for having had a gastro surgery in the past. I feel like I’m fighting against two blood gangs that have been trafficking children, like me, and my kids, for years. They isolate the kids from the biological parents, they assume the role of immediate family, and then they begin to abuse the children, while denying the biological parents any time with their children. Try and report them. Nothing ever happens. They’re part of a bigger group and it isn’t just in California.
Have you ever tried the national number I shared? Again, I'm no expert in this field, but its bad enough you were mistreated. But now you have children being mistreated?!
I'm not from the California area, but if you need any further assistance tomorrow to try finding help, I'll see whatever else links I can find when I can.
Thank you. I’d like to call that number. I just worry it will lead to some gang that runs it just to silence the victims that call. The lack of support I received from small town, local, law enforcement doesn’t leave me feeling hopeful.
Without asking you where you're from (no reason to ask you any personal details), I'm assuming you're in the USA.
I've found some links that might help you out...
