THE DNA TEST REVEALED A FAMILY-SHATTERING SECRET
I never liked my mother-in-law, but I tolerated her—for Hans’ sake. However, this time, she went too far.
After a brutal labor, I was exhausted but relieved to hold my healthy baby in my arms. Hans stayed by my side, supporting me through every painful moment. But when we finally introduced our newborn to his parents, everything fell apart.
The moment my MIL saw our son, her face twisted in rage.
“You cheated!” she shrieked. “That baby looks nothing like my son! I always knew you were no good!”
I was speechless. My FIL looked uncomfortable, but Hans immediately shut her down.
“Mom, STOP!” he shouted. “You’re being ridiculous!”
But she wouldn’t stop. She ranted, screamed, and even tried to grab my baby! That was it—I threw her out.
Still, she wouldn’t drop it. She poisoned every family gathering, whispering to relatives, turning them against me. She spread disgusting rumors, insisting the baby wasn’t Hans’.
Finally, I snapped.
“Fine!” I shouted. “Let’s do a DNA test. I have NOTHING to hide!”
A week later, the results arrived. I didn’t even bother opening the envelope. I threw it at my MIL in front of everyone.
“Read it,” I said coldly.
My MIL snatched the papers, her hands shaking with excitement, probably thinking she’d caught me.
But then, her face paled.
My FIL grabbed the papers next. He scanned them quickly, his face turning bright red. Then he slammed them down on the table, glaring at his wife.
“Hold on a second… ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!”
The room went silent.

Hans picked up the papers, confused. He read them, and his hands began to tremble.
He turned to his mother, his voice dangerously low. “Mom. Why… why is there only a 50% match to ME?”

My breath hitched.
Then it hit me.
The DNA test proved Hans and our baby were related. But only HALF-related.
Which meant—Hans’ father wasn’t actually his father.

My FIL stared at my MIL in horror. “You accused HER of cheating… but YOU’RE the one who did it?! YOU LIED TO ME FOR DECADES?!”

My MIL opened her mouth, but no words came out. She had destroyed herself.

Hans was shaking. “So… my entire life… has been a lie?”

I took my baby and walked away. I wasn’t going to waste another second on that woman.
That was the last time I ever let my MIL into our lives.
Am I wrong for cutting her out? Not a chance.
