WWYD?-LONG
My sister just called me and asked me to check her email for her because she was on her way to her orientation and was second guessing the room she needed to be in. I got her the info she needed and then proceeded to lurk around like any good big sister would do. Nothing too exciting, it's her school email (no matter how many times I tell her she needs another email too, she doesn't listen). Well, I was a little surprised to see that she has somehow managed to find our father, who no one has seen in about 20 years, and is emailing him. I have no problem with her doing this, it is her decission. I did read the emails and was surprised to see that he is back in FL, not far from where we all live, and practicing as an accountant again. I would like to be able to find out what she knows about him, if nothing else then to just know how she found him. But I know I can't let her know I saw the emails. I was not surprised to hear that he was most interested in her and our brother (most parents say they don't have favorites, but it was always obvious who he prefered). I have his email now, and am torn. I've moved on with my life, but of course there are a million unanswered questions that I would like answers to. So my question is this, would you email him? Thanks for all the advice!

Kelly - I'll be honest and blunt, I truly have no idea. Sorry I'm not more help.
I just wanted to say that I'll be thinking about you as you decide what to do about this tough situation. Talk with DH and think about it before you do anything sudden. Hugs!!
Hmm that is a hard decision. I'm not sure what I would do. How close are you with your sister? How long has she been talking to him? Maybe your sister knows that you have moved on with your life and she doesn't want to open up an old wound with you? Maybe she is nervous to talk to you about it. Maybe you could wait a few weeks (so it doesn't look so obvious that you were just in her e-mail and saw the correspondence)...but maybe you could ask her if she ever thinks about your dad or what not. See what her response is. Maybe she will tell you. If she says No, then maybe she has good reason for protecting you.
Or, you can start your own "search"....tell her that you have been thinking about your dad alot and you are going to start a "search" for him. Maybe she will offer up the info.
If you are close w/ her maybe you could say you noticed your dads name in her e-mail, and you were wondering what it was in regards too- That depends on how close you are with her.
Or if you dont care about your dad at all you could just ignore it (i would NOT be able to do this at all...my curiosity would be killing me.). I would want to know who contacted who...
Talk to your DH maybe he will have a good idea!
