Made to do a paternity test ‘just to be sure’. Thoughts?
Long story short, my baby is 6 weeks old and a few days ago I walked into his father’s house, whom he shares with his mother, to see a paternity test on the kitchen side.
We are not together any more but we get on very well, speak every day and we do often have sex (stupid, I know) My baby has his last name, and we spend the majority of the week at their place.
I spotted the paternity test and I questioned them, and they both said they didn’t doubt me but it was to shut their family and friends up questioning if my baby was part of their family. Of course I did the paternity test, not once have I slept with anyone else so I had nothing to hide.
I told them I was angry and upset as I had walked into their house unaware this was going to happen, and that their family and friends were doubting me! I know all of their family and family friends and they all seem to say how much of a wonderful mother I am and that they really like me, so I’m unsure why they would say this. I’m really good friends with my son’s father’s cousin (his mum is her auntie) and she is the only person I’ve told about this, and she agrees with me completely and she is embarrassed that her auntie and cousin have acted this way, and that some of her family have supposedly kept asking if my son is part of their family.
I kept saying why waste £150 on a paternity test if they didn’t doubt me, it just makes no sense to spend that sort of money on something to shut others up.
They both disregarded how I felt and they didn’t understand why I was so angry/upset. Now I don’t want anything to do with them. I will never stop them seeing my son but I’m burning that bridge between myself and them.
I’ve not yet told them I want nothing more to do with them as I’m waiting for us to be contacted about the DNA results which we should receive in 3-5 days, but what are your thoughts on this? I just need to know if people agree with me or not?
