That's what I was thinking. Holy shite. Imagine being that dude. The product of incest rape and somehow the family hates YOU for it....
If you ever get to feeling sorry for yourself, remind yourself that there are people who go through that kind of existence and ,in some cases, worse.

Nothing else.
You should quit talking to your mother also. She may be a result of incest just like your new cousin you have been talking to.
It's not his fault that your mother's grandfather was a fricked up piece of shite. If he could go back and actually choose his parents, I'm sure ya'll would not be related at all.

I just submitted a sample to 23andMe last week, waiting on results. I don't expect any surprises, my family history is pretty well documented. My wife has done genealogy for awhile and will sometimes help other people with theirs. She's been talking to a couple women lately, sisters, who are having a hard time accepting the fact that who they think is their daddy ain't really their daddy. Their mother has clammed up and refuses to talk about it.

The Jones’s were apparently the white trash of Caldwell Parish. Turns out my great uncle knocked up a girl who was a “Barr”. Looks like she was with someone else at the time. Barr was a more well to do family name. The child of this relationship was still alive a few years ago, but refused to accept DNA. This family had never known that some white trash Jones genes had infected their pure blood lines.

I know a great deal about my dad's side of the family going back hundreds of years but not so much about my mom's.
She's from Missouri. Historically most of her family were farmers. That's about it.

Found out I'm 1% Africa. I tell folks it's where I got my taste in music, but not my dancing abilities. lol.
And when Biden hands out checks for reparations, I want my 1% cut...

No rape but it is my understanding that my great grandfather married his stepdaughter. Apparently, my great grandmother died young and he remarried then divorced the second wife. Or maybe threw her down a well. This was back in the 1800s so the details are a little sparse.

Hubby was adopted and found his half sister through ancestry. There’s been some fall out.

I've said it before in these threads and from personal experience:
Some stones really are better left unturned.

I found an unknown half-aunt. It seems my grandfather on my dad's side must have gotten a bit frisky on shore leave. The half aunt is in the bay area and he was through there a few times during WWII. I've not made contact.

Sounds like the girl inherited the moms loose behaviors as well.

My maternal grandmother found out (without even testing herself, but through my mom's cousins) that her father was not her biological father and therefore her sister is her half sister. Same mother, different father. She is like 87.. can't imagine that was a norm back in the day (usually it would be the same father, different mothers). Either way she got super pissed my mom's cousins even confronted her and told her about it. She was like "I'M 87 I DIDN'T NEED TO KNOW THIS."

Jesus, that’s an awful story. My dad’s cousin found out he had a daughter by a summer fling who is now in her 40s and was adopted by a nice family. She’s a doctor now and her dad says he never knew about her. That’s the darkest i’ve got.

Raw history! Don’t ask if you don’t want the answer!
Turns out I’m 6% African. No big deal. Interesting history.

I know a guy that found out he had a brother and he's a pilot on Air Force One. Got to meet him and took a picture with Trump.

I ended up with 0.5% North African and 0.4% Sub-Saharan African (split 0.2% Senegambian & Guinean and 0.2% Angolan & Congolese).

That means he is his grandfather’s half-brother.
And because he is the great aunt’s child, he is his dad’s half first cousin.
That makes him half first cousin once-removed to Napoleon, and vice versa.
I don’t even know you people, but this will bother me all day ….
That reminds me of this Youtube

Either my wife's grandfather or her great-uncle had a child out of wedlock back in the 60's. A woman who the DNA site says is either her cousin or aunt has been reaching out to her and my sister-in-law over the past year.
My wife hasn't engaged the woman, but we found her Linkedin profile and yep, she looks extremely similar to my mother-in-law.
They're not quite sure how to approach this topic, but they're definitely going to wait until her grandmother passes before digging deeper.

I never knew my biological father and am 42. Last year I did the 23&Me and AncestryDNA which matched me up with two people that were very close relations (i.e. uncle or half-sibling). Did some digging online and found who I thought was my father (he is now 71). We talked right before Christmas and he agreed to a DNA test. I went down to New Orleans to meet him and do the collection in March. He is in fact my father and we have stayed in touch. They are a large Italian family and everyone that has reached out has been great. Planning a trip down in October to meet everyone and have them meet my wife and kids. I couldn't have asked for a better outcome. I now have an additional 4 half siblings, 16 cousins, and 6 aunts/uncles. I know that not everyone's experience will be like this, but I'm very thankful to have been able to do it.
