My Mystery DNA Match
That same year, I wrote a letter to Uncle Ricky's wife warning her what he was capable of, and I worried that he would do the same deviant things to their small children. Here it was more than two decades later, and one of his kids was my new DNA match on Ancestry.com. Did they know about what their father did to me? Should I even bring it up? What an awkward way to start a relationship with a cousin I'd never met before
You the same police department that told my family that because I had waited seven years to come forward, that the statute of limitations ran out. I remember feeling like they didn't care what had happened to me. This cousin, whom I found on ancestry, was just a baby when I'd written her biological mom and warned her that warning was ignored. Jane Lamont Alvarez spent several years trying to put Uncle Ricky behind bars for sexual crimes against his own kids

But what about when you kill someone's mind and their spirit? But they're walking around today without those things because you has some way of destroying it. It just sickens me. But you're a hero, too, and I just wanted you to know that. Thank you for being brave and sharing and letting us know that these things happen. This is a lot
