A Gandhi-following, peace-loving, free-spirited vegetarian who was adopted at birth has discovered the worst possible thing a son could find out about his father his dad is Charles Manson.
"Its like finding out that Adolf Hitler is your father," said Matthew Roberts, a Los Angeles disc jockey.
A curious Roberts, 41, began investigating his poisoned family tree about 12 years ago, when he contacted a social services agency, which located his mother, Terry, in Wisconsin, according to the London Sun.
His reluctant natural mom fed him bits and pieces, like his first and middle name Lawrence Alexander withholding his infamous surname until she could summon the courage to tell him the truth.

How depressing.
Manson didn’t give him the Manson-like beard and long hair.
He’s using his infamous ancestry to promote himself.
Poor guy.
I bet he has his name legally changed to Luke Skywalker.
Well, we can't chose our parents.
LOL@ the hippy. Enjoy your empire strikes back moment.
Worse yet. Mom had some taste in men, huh?
This sad little lizard told me that he was a brontosaurus

That’s something I wouldn’t share with the press. I’m thinking the guy wants some attention.
Hoo-boy! His mom was one of Manson’s girls? Good grief...
Charles M. Manson Jr. Son b. 1956 by wife Rosalie Jean Willis. Commited suicide in 1993.
Charles Luther Manson. Son b. April 10, 1963 by wife Leona Rae "Candy" Stevens. Disappeared so successfully, he is often reported as "allegedly" existing..
Michael Brunner. Son b. April 1, 1968 by Mary Brunner. His mother was the first member of the Family
Never mind....makes perfect sense.
This is why my grandmother advised against digging up one’s family history, but what an awful shock.
“Roberts said he has his own bouts with schizophrenia, but other than that, the apple fell far from the tree.”
Hmm, it doesn’t seem to fall that far.
How do you have bouts with schizophrenia?
No the article said his Mother was raped in 1967 long before the Mason family formed.
Ahhh..., I see... (still bad though...)
