That is such a weird story. Well, my own dad is off somewhere in Arizona with wife #4, the Chinese lady he "met" on the Internet and her teenaged son, and his child by wife #3, whom they adopted a couple of years before she died from brain cancer. Not sure whether I am supposed to treat the Chinese kid as my brother when we finally meet - we weren't invited to the wedding, it was a hasty affair so she would beat the deadline for being sent back to China when her fiancee visa expired. Somewhere in Louisiana is former wife #2 and her daughter by her first husband, who was one of the maids of honor at my wedding but no longer my "sister" since the divorce (it was messy.) (As was the divorce from wife #1.) Wife #1 (my mom) and me and my husband and my kids had brunch together to celebrate Father's Day. My husband and I have been married for 25 years. My youngest brother has nephews and nieces that are old enough to be his parents. I love my dad, but I am thankful that my own family story is as ordinary as his is crazy.
