With the advent of affordable DNA testing and companies like 23andMe, many people have discovered that the family members they grew up with are not biologically related. For some, these revelations can be a welcome and exciting discovery process. For others, they’re shocking and unwanted.

For more information on today’s episode, including a list of literary recommendations from the Sugars, visit nytimes.com/dearsugars.
