23 Extremely Shocking, Dark, And Wild DNA Test Stories From Things Like 23andMe

“I found out that I actually AM my father’s daughter. Growing up, I was teased a lot by my sister and mother; they would point out how I looked different from them and distort their faces to look like mine to mock me. One running joke is that I was the “Asian milkman’s” daughter because I have a partial epicanthic fold, and they didn’t. Turns out, I actually AM my father’s child, and the reason that I looked different from my sister is because she wasn’t! I found out more of the story from relatives. Apparently, my mother got around back in the day, and my father thought he couldn’t have children. My father was raising my sister, knowing that she wasn’t his daughter, and when my mother found out she was pregnant with me, everyone assumed it was because she was cheating again, and it reopened old wounds.”

“The first few years of my life were extremely traumatic, as my mother suffered from a psychotic break before or around the time I was born, and my father assumed I was an affair child and hated me. They were both extremely physically and verbally abusive.

It wasn’t until I grew up a little and people started to see how strongly I resembled my father that they realized they might have been wrong. I don’t think any DNA tests were done when I was a kid, because I have vivid memories of my father becoming enraged and yelling that I’m not even his child, and me being confused and insisting I was.

You should have seen how hard my mom was sweating when I got my DNA results back and started encouraging my sister to get a test too. It wasn’t until my father died that my mother finally admitted to my sister that she had a different father.

I haven’t spoken to any of them in years for obvious reasons.”
