Just found out I have a half brother

on a side note my missus 'donated' her eggs when she was younger, just before we met, and recently she was contacted by the Harley Street Clinic to say that two sets of twins and their parents wanted to get in contact to say thanks, blah blah. (not sure if the two sets of twins are from the same family)

told my 17 year old daughter and she is all over the moon with it, wanting to see them, but my missus is like 'not a chance'

all very weird when among this, an old friend from Glasgow told me that her friend told her I was the father to her twins from 1987, yes apparently I have twin daughters that are 30 years of age

at this point I deleted my facebook account and went to bed, worrying that I would be dragged onto Jeremy Kyle.
 
My mum recently found out her dad isn't her real dad and that she has three half brothers. We've met them and everything but I couldn't care less. My grandad is still my grandad to me, not this other bloke I've never known. Probably won't see them again.

That's a bit unfortunate, is there any way for your daughter to get in contact with them without involving you and the missus? If she strongly wants to meet her half-siblings then it would be nice if that was able to be accommodated and (sorry to say) but a bit selfish of your missus to deny it to her.
 
I have 3 or 4 half-brothers and a half-sister. I live near to my biological father (less than half a mile), see him frequently and he knows who I am. I've never spoken a word and really can't be arsed with turning that stone over. I frequently see my half-siblings around and smugly know that I've done better than all of them.

I think my mum thinks I should be more interested, but I have absolutely no intention of getting involved. He almost married my mum, but was apparently quite a nasty piece of work back then. He shacked up with a woman that resembles a bulldog who could easily kick his arse, so that set him straight. My mum told me that he had a heart attack recently, but I really didn't care at all.

My own family was bad enough for me not to be bothered with the hassle of getting involved with another. My grandparents on his side wanted to get to know me when I was younger (about 7 or 8), but I really couldn't understand why. They were/are (if they're still alive) just a bunch of strangers, and that was my thought on the matter then as well as ever since.

Can't ever imagine them being any more than just other people that happen to live in the same town.
 
I have always known I was adpotted but last year reached out to my biological mother and now have 3 half brothers and lots of extra family I am just meeting and getting to know. Its heavy going and a lot to take in.
 
I was brought up in a kids home as my mother was rather fond of the good life and children got in the way of that. We have never ever got on as to put it bluntly she would not know the truth if it hit her in the face. Many many years after leaving the home I managed to get my records and discovered that not only has my mother had a small industry in marrying, eight I believe is the final count, but she also had a few kids along the way. I have had various approaches from half brothers and sisters but I am not remotely interested. In this respect I am a bit like my father who has only contacted me once in 55 years and wondered why I told him to go away but using rather much stronger words. My terrible family is the main reason I moved to Scotland to get as far away as possible and to stop 'members of my family' dropping in. My Facebook page is pretty limited as to who can see and contact me.
 
I found out I have a half sister a few years back, I was shocked for a couple of seconds but I think that's as far as my reaction went.

Have no desire to meet them.
