I learned that I am related to one of my USDA inspectors by my exhusband.
Turns out the the mother of my inspector is the sister to my exhusband's grandmother. My exhusband's mother is the cousin to the inspector. So this makes my exhusband her second cousin and my daughter her third cousin.
This is too freaky for me. I also found out from the inspector that my ex has since remarried and had another daughter, so now I know for sure that Maddie has at least one half-sister out there, somewhere. My inspector seems to want us to reconnect with her family somehow but given all the chaos, pain, and drama of my exhusband I don't know if this is a good idea or not. She understands why I don't want my exhusband around my daughter, but if I reconnect with her side of the family, I may be opening a can of worms.
Thoughts?
