FATHER WANTED A PATERNITY TEST, WHEN HE THOUGHT THAT HIS SON WAS DIFFERENT FROM HIS OTHER TWO CHILDREN

A father had shared on Reddit’s, r/confession subreddit that he had a paternity test, when he thought that his oldest son was different from his other two kids. He had learnt a sad truth with the results, and many Redditors had made comments regarding his situation.
He had stated that he is together with his wife for 14 years, and they had started their relationship when they were 20. He had stated about their relationship and his situation as, “I always thought that we had a great relationship. Obviously it wasn’t perfect. We fought occasionally and had disagreements, but we always got through it. We have three children, two boys and a girl. Well, she has three children, apparently I only have two.”
Until his friend had made a joke, he wasn’t thinking too much on the difference of his eldest son, from his siblings. “My eldest son is quite different from my other two kids. He’s very antisocial, always breaking things and doing everything he can to be a nuisance. He’s only 6, but he also looks nothing like me or his brother/sister. I noticed but forced it out of my mind until one of my friends made a joke about “the milkman.””
And that had eat him out from inside, so he took a paternity test behind his wife. “I laughed it off at the time but I couldn’t shake the feeling. After a few sleepless nights I decided to get him DNA tested. I felt terrible for not trusting my wife but I had a nagging feeling.”
And he had stated that as he is going to feel guilty about it, he decided to take a paternity test on his all children. “I also thought that if I was going to feel guilty for doing it, then I might as well do it for all of my kids. So, to make a long story short, my daughter isn’t actually mine. Ironically, it turns out that she’s the outlier.”
As he had learnt that his daughter, first born child was not from him, he was devastated, “This was the beautiful girl that I thought was my first born child. My baby girl. When my wife was pregnant with her, I stayed with and cared for her every night. I would kiss my her belly and talk to a foetus which I thought that I helped to create.”
He then concluded his story as, “My wife must have known, yet she let me believe that she was mine? She let me bond with her and love her? How could she so readily make me a fool? All the stupid, corny shit I did with her and she wasn’t even mine? I feel like an absolute idiot. I am disgusted and repulsed at the mere thought of her. I have felt sick ever since I found out. I haven’t said anything about it because I know that when I do, we will be over.”
Here are some of the comments of the Redditors.
“The testing for boys is different than for girls’ paternity testing. Boys inherit their y chromosome 100% from the dad (women don’t have a y chromosome), so that means girls don’t have them either. Now this seems like basic logic, but some labs and technicians have been known to be sloppy, make mistakes, or even sometimes test the wrong material. Please get this retested, and make sure you signify this is a girl (cause you said you were originally testing your boy).”
“As a man and a father , you have an obligation to the child, not the mother. Your lack of empathy is appalling. This is a little girl who loves her father, and you would advocate he destroys a little girl’s life, the life of a child he loves and has raised for at least 8 years.”
