Hello! Recently, I discovered that I’m kin with a guy who was… Really bad. Like, bad enough that he murdered a lot of people and ruined a lot of lives. And recently, I also found a few people who identify as people I wronged horribly back then. I’m too scared to approach them as I don’t even know how to begin to ask for forgiveness (which is something I feel is necessary). Do you think they would hold it against me since I’m (literally) a different person now?

Hello, anon. I certainly understand how you feel as that describes my own ‘kintype’ to a T. Fortunately, or unfortunately, I haven’t had the luck…
