It is an incredible story but it also shows both sides of the DNA coin - think of the devastation of the"other" family (David + siblings) to discover or to be faced with the realisation that their father was not all that they believed. 1 extra sibling they could probably have coped with (maybe even 2 or 3)  but 8 or 9.

It destroys many of their probably long held beliefs about their parents and indicates that their father was living 2 very different lives

True to a degree Falkryn  but l understood the evidence suggests he was selling his wife's babies as well..... so maybe not 2 entirely different lives??
