By age 40, she was seven months pregnant with their last child when she went on a girls’ trip with her friends. The woman decided to return from the trip a day early to sleep comfortably in her bed, but she was in for a shock.
Upon entry into her bedroom, she found her mother having sex with her husband! Her mother screamed at her, asking her to leave “their bedroom,” leaving her flabbergasted. The parent left covered in a bedsheet, leaving the Reddit user to confront her husband.

He quickly told the truth, revealing how his mother-in-law seduced him at age 18 when they were still living with her parents. The man said since then, they were intimate monthly and ensured they were never caught. The truth broke his pregnant wife’s heart.
To make matters even worse, it dawned on her that her youngest sibling and twin brothers could be her husband’s children! She called her father and filled him in on everything, and in his devastation, he immediately confronted her mother.

The Redditor wanted their family to know the truth and hosted a party where she exposed her husband and mother’s affair. To her surprise, some family members, including her husband’s whole family, felt she was wrong for telling the truth.
Sadly, her mother’s friend and church leader also got wind of the truth, leading them to call to try to confirm the matter. The Redditor’s mother was intimately removed from being the children’s pastor. However, instead of taking accountability, her mother blamed her with the poster stating:
“She claims I’ve essentially ruined her reputation and life.”

The woman’s father kicked his wife out, and she moved in with her 38-year-old daughter. The hurt husband also insisted on having a DNA test done for the three youngest boys. The tests shockingly revealed that the Redditor’s husband was the biological father of the twin boys!
She responded to the news by kicking him out and divorcing him. The poster and her father leaned on each other for support, with him talking to her about selling the grandparents’ house that had terrible memories. He planned on giving her money from the sale so she could buy herself a new home.

The Reddit user’s husband and mother would get nothing from the sale. Her ex-husband was now a father of seven children. She took half of his business, seeing as she’d helped set it up and had been the office manager while taking a break from her career.
The heartbreaking thing for her was losing contact with some family members. Her minor children don’t know why she divorced, but her 14-year-old daughter knew and chose to cut contact with her father. The man’s ex-husband eventually confessed that he started the affair with his mother-in-law after the poster once made him angry.

He reached out to his mother-in-law for comfort, and that’s how they started an intimate relationship. The Redditor’s ex admitted that he would’ve divorced her, but it was more beneficial for him to remain in their relationship.

Paternity Test Vindicates Woman Shunned by Husband’s Family
A 24-year-old Reddit user contacted other users with a story about her family. The OP revealed that she had three sons who looked exactly like their father, but when their daughter was born, she looked nothing like him.
She arrived with pale skin and platinum blonde hair; her eye color was green and different from the rest. During her pregnancy with their daughter, OP had built a close relationship with an older male co-worker. The colleague was extra friendly to her and another female co-worker.

Her co-worker would bring her and the other woman coffee in the mornings, and sometimes, he left flowers on their desks. She didn’t think much about his behavior because he was happily married and always spoke fondly about his family, plus he never made any advances.
Despite the true nature of their relationship, OP’s husband was uncomfortable with it and wanted her to cut ties with him, but she refused. The couple fought about it, but it eventually seemed to fade away. However, when their daughter was born, the husband’s anger reappeared.
