A 27-year-old man bought a DNA test and discovered his mom’s huge secret.
The unnamed man said he had always wanted to take the ancestry test as his father used to say that they were related to the author of Sherlock Holmes, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
He was only 1 when his parents had decided to split up. And when he told his mother that he was doing a DNA test, she immediately urged him to cancel his order and get a refund.
When he asked her mother why she was behaving suspiciously, she revealed that she had never been sure if his legal father is his biological father.
The results came back and the family tree on his mother’s side were ‘all expected results.’
However, his father’s side showed different names. ‘Just not my family as I had known it,’ he said.
He then called his dad, who said that the results would do nothing to change their strong relationship.
But what shocked him to the core was when he discovered who his biological father is: his dad’s best friend.
“I grew up with this other guy’s daughters (my apparent half-sisters) and wife as close family friends. Shoot, I even went to their family gatherings sometimes,” he wrote on Reddit.
“My biological dad has been married for 26 years and has all of his stuff together so now I have to decide if I am going to rock his work as hard as mine has been.”
“Fun family anecdote has always been that he rubbed off on me because we share a cleft chin. Makes sense now,” he added.
Commenters were divided over whether he should tell his biological father about the result or not, with one writing: “Mate, he probably already has a good idea. He slept with your mum at the right time, after all.”
Another wrote: “You should tell him as he may be delighted to know he has a son. It might work out. Why not?”
