A woman was stunned to learn that her biological father is not the man she has known as her father for 26 years after taking a DNA test.?
She explained how her mother had been utilizing DNA tests to build a family tree and pushed her to take one herself to learn more.?
However, when she received her test results, she was stunned to discover that the man she had always called her father had no biological relationship with her.?
In a Reddit post, she said, "My mother has been constructing our family tree and had conducted DNA tests for my grandparents on her side and one for my father."
Intrigued by her father's ethnic results, she decided to take a DNA test to find out her own. Encouraged by her mother, she excitedly anticipated the results while enjoying the process of tracing her family history.?
However, when she received the findings two days ago, she was astonished to discover that none of her DNA matches were from her father's side.?
Instead of seeing her father's identity, she was shown the name of an unknown person with whom she shared 50% DNA. This realization made her feel as if she had made a mistake in taking the test.
She went on to say that she uncovered some more people she had never heard of and with whom she shared up to 25% of her DNA. Additionally, approximately 25% of her DNA matches were with people she knew, including her grandparents.?
After examining her father's ethnic origin, she discovered that it included 20% Balkan ancestry, which did not reflect in her results at all.
Perplexed by the scenario, and suspecting that her mother was unaware of the anomalies, she received a message from someone offering to share family trees.?
This further added to her bewilderment, and she was confused how to proceed. Despite her parents' fairly strong narrative regarding her conception, she couldn't dismiss the nagging concerns.?
She eventually mustered the confidence to face her mother about the problem, but she was unsure whether she was actually prepared to find the truth.?
She said that her mother appeared to like the attention, however her father reacted severely when he discovered that anything "sketchy" was going on.?
This resulted in the end of the affair, as her mother cut off contact with the other person involved. She debated telling her father about it, but eventually decided against it.?
After discussing the problem with her partner, who expressed concern that her father, who was aware of the affair, might not want to know this type of information, she began to reconsider her approach.?
