41-year-old adoptee Matthew Roberts's quest to find his birth parents has ended in a shock after his biological mother finally relented and revealed that his father is serial killer Charles Manson. His mother was raped by Manson and he was the result.
Manson remembered his mother telling him, "The truth is the truth. The truth hurts." Roberts was initially quite depressed by the surprise revelation and struggled with not wanting to hate his father yet not wanting to love his mother's rapist.
"It's like finding out that Adolf Hitler is your father... I'm not nuts but I've got a little bit of it... My hero is Gandhi. I'm an extremely non-violent, peaceful person and a vegetarian," said Roberts.
