Man Discovers Charles Manson Is His Father
Imagine one day your sister turns around and telling you that you’re adopted, so you search for your biological parents and find out that Charles Manson is your father. Well this happened to Matthew Roberts.
Roberts, a 41-year-old DJ who is living in Los Angeles, CA, claims that when he went searching for his biological parents he discovered that Manson was his father, which sent him into depression.
Roberts says that when he was 10-years-old his sister told him that he was adopted and that later on in his life, his adoptive father told him nothing good would come from looking for his parents. But he didn’t listen and managed to locate his biological mother, Terry, who then claimed that Manson was his father.
Terry told his that his birth name was Lawrence Alexander but would never reveal the surname, until she eventually revealed that Manson was his father after he had raped her back in 1967.
When he found out the truth he says, “I didn’t want to believe it. I was frightened and angry. It’s like finding out that Adolf Hitler is your father, I’m a peaceful person – trapped in the face of a monster.”
Manson who is serving life in Corcoran State Prison in California is in communications with his son, Roberts says that “He sends me weird stuff and always signs it with his swastika, at first I was stunned and depressed. I wasn’t able to speak for a day. “I remember not being able to eat.”
He says that he is not really like his father but he has a bit of a temper, “I’m not nuts but I’ve got a little bit of it, it’s scary and upsetting. If I get worked up, my eyes get really big and that’s really freaked some people out before. I’ve tried to tone that down quite a bit. I don’t like having that effect on people. I don’t even like the fact that I’m big. It makes me even scarier. My hero is Gandhi. I’m an extremely non-violent, peaceful person and a vegetarian. “I don’t even kill bugs. I’ve had long hair all my life. I could make it go away, but I can’t let the world and their fears change me.”
Despite having a phone number for Manson, they have never spoke on the phone yet, “If I did talk to Charlie on the phone, I would say, ‘I truly understand what it’s like to be you, more than anyone could ever imagine on so many levels, He’s my biological father – I can’t help but have some kind of emotional connection. That’s the hardest thing of all – feeling love for a monster who raped my mother. I don’t want to love him, but I don’t want to hate him either.”
I don’t even know what to say but that would be crazy shit to discover Charles Manson is your father, however just because someone is your biological father doesn’t mean you have a bond or even have to be in communication with him.
