Ohio woman discovers husband is her father

 

AKRON, OH (FOX19) -

An Ohio woman has discovered that her late husband was actually her father.

 

 

Valerie Spruill, of Doylesville, Ohio, told the Akron Beacon Journal that she discovered the family secret in 2004.

 

 

 

She said she learned the secret from an uncle shortly after her husband/father, Percy Spruill, died.

 

Spruill says she has DNA tests to prove the relationship and has been working with a therapist since she found out. She believes Percy was aware of what happened but was afraid to tell her.

 

She said she came forward with her story to maybe find long lost siblings and show others that even in miserable situations, they can still lead productive and fulfilling lives.

And I thought this kind of thing only happened in Kentucky or Arkansas..

Some seriously messed up people in that family. They knew and didn't tell her? What is wrong with them.

She needs to continue to work with that therapist if she thinks that Percy was aware of what happened but was afraid to tell her.

 

No sweetie....Percy knew. Percy knew.....

No kidding! That's in-freaking-sane!

Ain't nobody nuttier than a buckeye.

Hey now...Massachusetts actually has more relaxed incest laws than KY!

JERRY!! JERRY!! JERRY!!

I'm sorry, but is there any more redneck, hick-sounding name for a town than "Doylesville"?

Funny joke guys...

Actually the Akron newspaper says "Doylestown". That sounds much more sophisticated.

My question is how in the hell did she not know?

Honestly, it's not as far fetched as you might think. I knew a girl from NKY who was born when her mom was 14. Grandma and grandpa adopted her, and the family told her for her entire life that her biological mom was her sister, and that grandma and grandpa were her mom and dad. She was told the truth in her late teens. Her identity crisis that followed was so severe that it eventually led to her killing herself.

I know 3 different people like this, but none of them know the truth.

Luke has to be feeling better now.

That's a completely different scenario, and one that's quite common.

 

However, for this woman's scenario to work, she would almost certainly have to have never known her father in any way, shape or form before they met and became an "item."
