Man Gets All His Children DNA-Tested after Eldest Daughter Shows Him Her DNA Test Result

A dad raised five beautiful children for 30 years. He never doubted his paternity. One day, his eldest daughter showed him the results of her ancestry test. It turned out he wasn’t her biological father.

Redditor Needadvicedesperate and his wife were high school sweethearts. The couple had five beautiful children, and everything seemed perfect. But nearly 30 years after raising his eldest daughter, he found out she wasn’t his child.

His dilemma started when his daughter underwent an ancestry test. She revealed the results to him in private. The dad could understand she was shattered and decided to dig into the matter.

The Original Poster (OP) claimed he never questioned his wife’s loyalty. But the ancestry test results jolted the trust he had in her. But before he could process the news further, he comforted his daughter. He explained:

“Of course, the first thing I did was reassure her that no matter what, she’s my daughter, and I’ll always love her unconditionally.”

The OP and his daughter doubted the accuracy of the results. They mutually decided to take a proper paternity test together. The results arrived, and this time, it was evident that he wasn’t her biological father. He was shocked.

For 30+ years, he’d been living under the belief that his eldest daughter was his. The revelation shattered him, and he broke down in front of her. He added:

“The combination of finding out about my wife’s infidelity and how upset I was making my daughter by how I was reacting. I really wish I had kept it in for her sake, but I didn’t.”

The OP couldn’t hold himself together. He decided to test the other children and asked them to meet him in private. However, he excluded his youngest teen daughter from this as he feared the worst.

He thought it would be inappropriate to inform his 14-year-old daughter about it. He still wanted to find out how long his wife had been cheating on him. He decided to work past it based on her infidelity history. The OP explained:

“We tell the other three what has happened. I reassure them that I love them unconditionally and that I’ll always be their dad, but that I need to know how long this has been going on.”

So long until he told them about the results, the other kids were under the impression that he was their biological dad. However, they were upset seeing him broken and decided to support him by getting themselves tested.

The OP’s three other children, aged 30, 28, and 24, got the paternity tests done. The results revealed that none of them were his children. Adding to that was each of them had three different fathers. The news disheartened him.

The person stressed that if he hid the truth from his daughter now, she would find out in the worst possible way someday.
He felt his wife didn’t have just one but multiple ongoing affairs. He was at a loss for words. The truth impacted him in ways he’d never imagined. After deep thought, the OP confronted his wife. He thought she would confess the truth and beg for forgiveness.

When he told his wife about the tests, she ignored them and claimed the accuracy could be faulty. She’d even guilt-tripped him, saying: “We’ve been together since high school. Do you seriously not trust me?”

The OP was still unmoved by her answers. He was confused about reassuring his kids that nothing changed between them. At a point, he felt his reactions could’ve made them second guess his promises.

Most importantly, he didn’t want his youngest daughter to know the truth until she was older. He claimed he couldn’t live without his wife and turned to the Reddit community asking for advice to save his marriage. He garnered some overwhelmingly positive responses.

As a mother, I was ready to give her all the love she deserved. Richard, on the other hand, was overjoyed. After years of failed attempts at starting a family, meeting Jennifer had felt like a stroke of fate. But just a few weeks into this new life, I began to notice something disturbing. Jennifer clung to me, while eyeing Richard with a strange suspicion. I told myself it was simply an adjustment phase. Then, one afternoon, while I was folding laundry, Jennifer looked up at me and whispered softly, “Mom… don’t trust Dad.” Her words froze me, my heart pounding. There was no anger or fear in her voice, just a calm, almost childlike war:ning. I knelt down to her level and asked softly, “Why, darling?” Her lips curled into a small, sad smile before she answered… More in the first comment ⬇️
