Matthew Roberts Says Charles Manson is his Father

Like in Star Wars, Los Angeles DJ Matthew Roberts (41), above, discovered recently his biological father was serial killer Charles Manson (75), below. Even worse, Roberts, who was adopted, found his biological mother who said she got pregnant after she was raped by Manson.

Matthew says: "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."

According to Matthew, the letters mainly rambled and said "crazy things" but Manson did confirm he could be his father.

In one twisted letter he wrote: "The truth is the truth. The truth hurts."

In another note Manson talked about meeting Matthew’s mother. He wrote: "I remember her. We came back to LA on the super-cheap train."

And Manson – who grew up without a father figure – even compared his childhood to Matthew’s.

He said: "You got the same father I got. A hobo just left on the midnight train and died, lost at sea." Then in a postcard two years ago, addressed to Matthew’s birth name Lawrence Alexander, Manson sent his son his prison phone number.

But Matthew has never made the call to his dad."

He says: "There’s always a subconscious block."

"What I’m worried about is that you think you’re going to meet your birth mother or father and they’re going to love you and welcome you with open arms. But he’s not that kind of person."

Despite Manson’s evil actions, Matthew confesses he now battles confused emotions towards his biological father.

He says: "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."

This is why parents need to be the best person they can be in life, because their children believe they are who their parents were. What’s probably more important is that divorcing spouses need to refrain from making false allegations, and lying about the other spouse’s character, just to win the divorce and custody. Kids in the middle of a nasty divorce don’t know what to believe about their parents after all that, and many are confused afterwards about their own character.

I give Roberts a lot of credit for his open honesty, and bravery, in coming forward to admit this revelation to the world.
