“Life-changing secret”: DNA testing has caused a difficult family conflict

Family secrets can certainly be complicated, so there are skeletons that are best left in the closet. One woman, who revealed her story on the social network Reddit, told how she became entangled in the most hidden secret in her partner’s family. The anonymous girl opened the post by saying that her partner was adopted by his parents when he was a baby, and to complicate matters, she revealed how none of the family members knew it.

For 30 years the mother hid a structure from her biological father Thus the great secret was revealed

It all started when the young woman’s partner decided to do a DNA test to find out more about his family history. Since his mother knew the truth about the adoption and kept it a secret all these years, she decided to share her son’s partner. The young woman wrote: “A friend of mine and I visited his parents at dinner, and he reminded us all that he was happy to receive a DNA kit as a holiday gift,” she later added: “His mother told me I should not get a DNA test for him, and when I asked why, she told me he was adopted “.

According to the young woman, her partner’s mother never told him about the adoption, as she did not want him to feel unusual in the family, as his two brothers are the parents’ biological children. At first, the mother asked her son’s partner to inform him of the adoption, but she refused on the grounds that “she does not want to interfere in the family drama.” Soon, the couple returned to the house and the conversation between the mother and the young woman was interrupted in the middle.

After the two agreed not to purchase a kit for him so that he would not reveal the secret, the man decided to purchase a test for himself. “I knew he would buy for himself, but I chose not to tell his mother. She had 23 years to tell him and she did not – it is not my job,” the young woman wrote. After the man did the test, as expected, his results were abnormal, and he immediately called his parents to confront them about the matter.

After a heated quarrel between the man and his parents, the man’s mother called his partner and was angry with her for not telling her before the test, thus being able to save the family conflict. Finally, the young woman addressed her dilemma to surfers and asked for guidance. Following the post, surfers’ reactions were divided, with some supporting the young woman’s decision, while the other part claimed that she knew what might happen and chose not to prevent it. So what do you think? Is she right or not?
