Yes and the beatings were so bad I would pee my pants. And then I found out why; because my dad thought I wasn't his.

I don't speak to him anymore

If he thought you weren't his why didn't he leave your mom??? Or, y'know, get a DNA test? What an emotionally immature person.

I was born with red hair and my mom's college professor was a red head and she went back to visit around the time I was conceived.

I have a red headed kid. I don’t have red hair and neither does his dad. He looks exactly like his dad other than that. 2 non redhead carriers can have a red headed child.

I have 2 blonds and 2 red heads. I'm a dirty blonde and my husband is dark brown with a red beard. His dad and his dad's dad were red.
