I was wondering if anyone was aware of the blogs or websites from/regarding the children of serial killers, gangsters, sex criminals, dictators, etc. and how they lived with the public stigma of that.

I saw a documentary about a man who thought he was Charles Manson's son, and that was a burden he carried for years. Then he took a DNA test and found out he wasn't. I think he was somewhat disappointed in some way. Mostly because that brought him to square one and he didn't know who his father was.

But I don't know of blogs about the topic.

@Dave - Thanks.

@Liana - I wasn't think on the topic, but by the people. I'm aware of a cult leader who has a son who left the cult and drives a cab. The cab driver had a blog, mostly on interesting people he's picked up that started when someone was talking about being having issues with his Dad's cult. I was thinking stuff like that, not just a whole blog on 'dad/mom is crazy!'

I'm not sure how many blogs you'll realistically be able to find. If I was the child of a murderer I'd want to keep it quiet. Not a rule, just a thought.

Maybe try searching for interviews with children of murderers, stuff like:

The closest I've seen is a documentary about Hitler and Stalin's families. They were surprisingly normal.
