Robert Fitters: My DNA Journey

Robert Fitters: My DNA Journey This is a page is about my discovery & journey in genetic DNA. I was able to prove paternity to my biological father by using Ancestry.com and 23&me.

This is my journey to discovery while helping others learn how to make their own genetic DNA discoveries ABOUT THIS BLOG
My DNA Journey to Prove Paternity is a personal blog about family and genetic genealogy. I was born before DNA and paternity testing were available. Although there was no question about my paternity, my biological father was able to take advantage of the fact that paternity coul

d not be proven at the time and decided to deny paternity as a way to get out of responsibilities and child support. He went so far as to move away. Out of sight, out of mind. Or so he thought. 45 years later DNA became a popular way to legally prove paternity. Using popular commercial DNA testing sites such as ancestry.com and 23andMe, I was able to prove paternity so that he could no longer deny it. This is my journey. This is my story. And this is my truth. I hope to help others who have been in the same predicament. I also have this blog on a popular blog site with over 400 followers if you'd rather follow that one. Make no mistake-I do not want any type of relationship with my biological father. I just refuse to be his dirty little secret. So I will share my experiences with others in the same situation.

New research shows that a father’s trauma can physically alter the RNA inside his s***m, creating biological signals that may pass anxiety related traits to his future children. Scientists discovered that stressful experiences change the molecular instructions carried within spe*m, affecting how genes linked to stress response, brain development, and emotional regulation behave in the next generation. These changes do not rewrite DNA, but they modify how the DNA is expressed, shaping a child’s sensitivity to stress before birth.
Researchers observed that offspring of traumatized fathers showed heightened fear responses, increased stress hormones, and stronger reactions to challenging environments. The altered s***m RNA appeared to “prime” the developing brain, making it more reactive to threat. This form of inheritance, known as epigenetic transmission, reveals that emotional experience can leave physical marks on reproductive cells, influencing traits long after the original trauma has passed.
The findings do not mean a child is destined for anxiety, but they highlight how deeply human biology responds to lived experience. Supportive parenting, safe environments, and emotional nurturing can help reshape stress pathways and strengthen resilience, reducing the impact of inherited sensitivity.
This research expands the understanding of how trauma moves through families. It shows that healing is not only personal but generational, and that caring for mental health today may protect the emotional well being of tomorrow’s children.
