My Eldest Son Is Quite Different from My Other 2 Kids, So I Did a DNA Test on Him
. He went on to reveal that he has not confronted his wife because he fears the outcomes. In his heart, he knows if he brings the issue up, he and his wife will be over.
In light of his plight, other users have asked him not to take drastic actions as the results may be wrong
. One user, Pejmany, believes that paternity testing for boys is different than for girls. The user further explained their stance and urged OP to take a retest on his daughter just in case. The user said:
[[system-code:ad:autoads]]“Before you do anything, just get this retest, and get your wife’s DNA tested with your daughter as well (maternity test). She may have been switched at birth, meaning she would share DNA with neither of you.”
Some advised him to speak to a divorce lawyer and weigh his options before making a decision. Others jokingly suggested that he might be a chimera with two sets of DNA.
A Quora user, Michael Lemke, shared a similar story. After divorcing his wife, she revealed that her 3-year-old daughter wasn’t his.
When he wouldn’t accept her word for it, she demanded blood tests. Knowing that he didn’t want to lose access to the child and no one else was contesting his paternity, he asked the judge not to allow the tests.
The judge understood that he had raised the girl with his biological son as though she was his, and he eventually got custody of both children. They currently live with him and his grandchildren.
Another Quora user also anonymously shared his story after discovering that his last son wasn’t his. His son turned out to belong to his closest friend and business partner.
After divorcing his wife and informing his friend about the boy’s existence, he asked the friend to stay away from the boy and ultimately raised the boy as his.
