Vernetta says she's always told her daughter, Melissia, that they had the same father. Melissia says, "I didn't understand what that meant at the time that I found out. But the older I got, I came to realize that what happened was wrong and I started to feel like I was different. I felt like I had to keep this really big secret about what happened, and if I told anybody, I would be treated different, like an outcast."
