Oh yeah, I forgot to add that since I know how my boys are protective about me, and I have NEVER told them that someone was a ‘bad’ person, or that someone did ‘bad things’ to me, I can totally understand why Daniel would not have contacted Virgie or any other family in Texas. If he had heard Anna say bad things about Virgie (or even if Anna never said anything bad about Virgie, but he saw his mother (Anna) cry bc she was upset about Virgie) that would be enough for him to ‘shun’ Virgie....Daniel LOVED his mother, he did not want to do anything to upset her (including contacting her own mother - his grandmother)! Poor Daniel reached out to a STRANGER (the PI) to help his mother. I’m sure he had his head filled with propanganda about Virgie and all of his other relatives for quite some time....from both Anna and HKS!!
BTW...I find it odd that there hasn’t been anything in the media about Daniel wanting to meet his biological father! It seems to me that he would have wanted to know something about him or at least meet him by the time he turned 20! That is another thing I know about my boys...THEY know their father and SEE him when they can, but they still cannot get ‘enough’ information about him...they love to hear any little story or tidbit I tell them about their Dad...they literally ‘suck’ it into their being!
That’s nice that even though you’re apart, the boys know their father and want to know everything about him. It’s good your parents have an active role in their lives, too. Wouldn’t it be nice if all kids had such a caring family?
Yes, I feel sorry for Daniel, too. Even though Anna loved him, I wonder if he desired to see the rest of his family.
