I missed that. If that's an accurate description of events and the cause of the rift between his father and the rest of the family, I'm appalled by their behavior. I'm also at more of a loss to understand why the author blames 23andMe. It's just as conceivable the estranged son could have finally found his father through some means that didn't include 23andMe, and the father decided to reconnect and it tore the family apart. Who would the author attempt to blame in that case? The son, for locating his father?
