60-year-old Ohio woman named Valerie Spruill has
revealed that she unknowingly married her own father.
According to Valerie she was raised by her
grandparents who she believed were her real parents. At the age of 9, her
grandparents told her that they were not her biological parents but her
grandparents.
Valerie was told
that her mother was a prostitute by name Christine, a woman who visited her on a regular basis whom she
thought was a “family friend,” but was never told who her father was.
Many years later,
she met and married a man named Percy Spruill, who died in April 1998 at the
age of 60.
Spruill said for years, she overheard odd whispers she couldn’t figure
out. An uncle finally told the truth after her husband/father’s death, that her husband was indeed
her biological father.
Determined to find
out the truth about Percy Spruill, The mother-of-three and grandmother of eight said she did a DNA test with her husband’s hairbrush she found
while cleaning the house. She said the DNA confirmed that her husband and her father
were the same person.
When asked if she thought her husband knew he was
her biological father, Spruill said she was not 100 percent certain he knew because he never talked about it, but she believes he was aware,
but he kept it to himself because of the taboo associated with what he had
done.
Valerie says she tries not to hate him because because people who hate
don’t get into heaven. And if you don’t make it into heaven when the time
comes, she notes, you can’t hit the rewind button and try again.
Spruill, attributes her poor health to the stress
of discovering the longtime family secret, says she now wants to find the rest
of her siblings.
Poor woman. May God help her to heal.
Dear reader do you think her
father knew they were father and daughter before they got married or after the
wedding?
