    Are there any support groups for children who are illegitimate children specifically in the Cork region? My father has known this since he was in his twenties but he has never gotten over it. Any advise is welcome.

    I hate the term illegimate but anyway.

    I presume he suffered due to this, was he separated from his parents, adopted, placed in an institution?

    There would be groups specifically for all of those issues.

    Has he gone to counselling?

    It really depends on his status. There are support groups out there for adopted people, KMO meet in Tougher regularly for example- but I don't know if this is applicable in your Dad's case. When you say he has 'never gotten over this' what do you mean? From the very little you've posted- perhaps counselling, rather than a support group, may be more applicable, but I don't have enough to work on.
