On Father’s Day I reflect on the father who raised me, the father I lost, and the daughter I shield from my truth. Join me as I navigate family lore, betrayal, and the silence I’m learning to break. For 26 years I believed my father was a man named Gus. My grandmother swore I looked just like his sister, my aunt. But at 26 my mother revealed the truth. My father was Dino, a man tied to my family’s history in ways I never imagined. His sister, who I called grandma, helped raise me. His daughter, my sister, shared my face. I learned this after his death, after his funeral where I wept, unaware of our connection. This episode unravels the pain of not knowing, the weight of secrets, and the monsters who walk free while I carry their shame.
