That would be so good.

She must be suffering terribly, thinking that she may die before seeing him again.

She’s explaining that her son was never given up for adoption. So he hasn’t been missing since a child, but went missing 10 years ago. Are you hard of reading?

Want to hear something really heartbreaking? There is an elderly neighbor of ours who hasn't seen her only daughter in 30 years.

30 years ago the daughter married a divorced drunkard, child deserter and wife beater. (first wife) He continued drinking, beat the daughter regularly. One day he beat her so badly that he put her in the hospital.

The elderly lady begged her to leave him- and to make a long story short, the daughter told her to stay out of her life and from then on she was 'dead to her'.

That was 30 years ago- and they have not seen each other since. The daughter still lives with this monster in a city about 200 miles away.

True story. .

So if this is known, Why is some un named family member exploiting this?

Obviously, I don’t know whether this was this lady’s son or not. And if I were her, and heard of this particular person, I wouldn’t immediately assume that it was her Donald.

But it might well be worth someone looking into.
