DEAR DEIDRE: WHEN my family finds out who I had sex with, they’re going to hit the roof.
My boyfriend is my half brother. I kept it a secret as long as I could, but now mom and dad are really curious and suspicious about my mystery man.
I feel the time has come to admit that I am in a serious relationship with him.
No one has any idea that we are one item — and we got together two years ago.
We were at home watching a movie when our parents had already gone to bed.
I felt her snuggling closer and closer to me, and in a few minutes we were intertwined on the sofa.

From then on we snuck into each other’s bedrooms and snuck out again before morning.
My parents divorced five years ago, and my mom met my stepdad a year later.
As soon as I met my half-brother, I liked him. He is quiet, but bright and knows his own mind.
Unlike most men I know, he doesn’t feel the need to be loud all the time.
I’m 20, he’s 22 and we’ve always gotten along well, although he moved away after a year to travel.
He is now at university but I am still at home attending my local college.
I visit him most weekends and he comes home to see me as often as he can.
It’s so hard to keep our relationship a secret. We struggle to stand up to each other in front of our families.
It made sense to keep everything a secret at first, but now that we’re serious, I want to tell mom, dad, and stepdad.
I know they won’t be very impressed, but there’s certainly no law against dating your half-brother.

DEIDRE SAYS: Since you are not related by blood, there is nothing illegal about your half-brother.
However, before you talk to your parents, make sure you and he are on the same page about going public.
I won’t be surprised if your parents have an inkling of what’s going on between you two.
But if they truly have no idea, then your news will change the dynamic in your home.
This news could be a big shock to your family, so give them time and opportunity to adjust to this development and think about the consequences.
