GRANDMOTHER HAD GAVE HER GRANDDAUGHTER A DNA TEST, WHEN SHE HAD THOUGHT THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM
A grandmother had shared her story on Reddit’s r/AITA subreddit. She had stated that her middle granddaughter was looking different than her siblings, and when her suspicion grew bigger, she gave her granddaughter a DNA test to learn the truth.
The grandmother had stated that all the family has dark hair, besides her middle granddaughter. “This is about my granddaughter Lindsey. Now Lindsey (15) has it rough being middle child and she looks different from her siblings. I truly was confused how she had blond curly hair while the rest of the family has dark hair. I though genetics was being weird and I love her.”
She got suspicious, when she learnt that her granddaughter was denied to take an ancestry test by her parents. “The issue came up when Lindsey told me her parents banned her from getting an ancestry test. I told my son and DIL that there was something fishy around her birth she needs to know. They denied it and told me to leave it alone. Now Lindsey is in high-school and she went to her biology teacher. To put it bluntly the teacher said it was odd for her to have some traits.”
Her granddaughter had came to her and asked for her to get a DNA kit. “She came to me distressed asking me to buy an DNA test since she needs to know. Long story short she is not her mothers kid. My son got someone else pregnant and her bio mom gave her up.”
As the truth unfolded, she received some heat from the people. “This has blown up the family while Lindsey is pissed to being lied to, I am getting a ton of heat for getting her a DNA test. Now they won’t talk to me which is making Lindsey even more mad at them.”
When people asked how could she doesn’t know that her granddaughter was from another mother she had stated, “They were on the other side of the country when she was born and I met Lindsey when she was about 6 months old. Really not hard to hide the whole thing.”
Here are some of the comments from Redditors.
“Your son and his wife suck for lying to her until she is 15 about something so important and trying to keep lying to her even after she obviously started to question things. There are medical reasons a person might need to know what their genetics are/are not and if you hadn’t helped her she would have found out some other way.”
“It’s not the end of the world if they don’t. My mom is adopted and has never found her biological father. We have no medical history on that end of the family. When I had my kid I just did extra genetic testing to make sure everything would be fine.”
“The child also has a right to know where they came from. It’s incredibly selfish and cruel to keep something like that from them.”
