I have a grandson who has always wondered about his heritage.He’s twenty five , so I purchased a dna test.This will change his life forever.His father in prison is not his dad .My daughter got extremely angry with me.She would have continued this lie if not for the dna test .My wife has always believed her which has always created friction between us. I am very disappointed.

@only1bob,
At some point, your daughter would have to realize that the jig is up. I think she's more angry at you for figuring it out and facilitating the revelation versus there being a revelation in the first place. At least, I would hope that to be the case.

Family secrets such as these are a lot harder to keep these days, as opposed to a generation ago or even ten or so years ago. Easy access to DNA testing can bring with it some uncomfortable revelations.

So, maybe give your wife and daughter some grace and some time to process all of this. You brought the truth out. It would have come out sooner or later. Now, maybe your family can start to embrace the new reality and move forward.

He’s twenty five


Why is she angry? He is 25 so he could easily have bought it for himself and if he was really interested he would have. Makes no sense. Not like he is 5.

@RPhalange,
We were all deceived for 25 years until we got the truth. It’s hard to comprehend how my daughter could hold such a secret . My feeling is all children should have dna test at birth when possible. Healing comes from within, with faith .

@only1bob,
But in the end, what really changes? Nothing. A couple of names get crossed. Nothing else changes.

@only1bob,
It changes nothing because being in the "family" has very little to with DNA except by assumption. When you marry another with children, those children are family.

Hell with any opinion otherwise. Acceptance is such a tough thing for for a nation that claims to be a melting pot of nations. Now we have to vet DNA, too? Bullshit.
