A woman claims her husband fathered twins with her mum at the same time that he impregnated her – giving her two half-brothers.
The 40-year-old mum, who hasn't identified herself, said a DNA kit proved that her husband was the father of two of her mother's sons, having embarked on an affair with her for over two decades. She says her hubby has broken "all the trust I had in men" and has torn her family apart, the Mirror reports.
She only discovered the betrayal after walking in on the pair in bed at her house. The affair, she says, has led to her children being all-but-deprived of their grandparents, and the husband has been sent packing to his parents' house.
Taking to Reddit to detail the shocking story, the woman detailed how she and her husband got together at 15, and she became pregnant two years later. Shortly after giving birth to their eldest daughter, they got married and moved onto a ranch next door to her parents' house.
She wrote: "My grandparents built a house next door to my parents when they retired. My parents decided to let us live in this house and told us this would be my inheritance.
"My husband and I had no issues with this. We went on to have [three more children] and I'm currently seven months pregnant with my last child."
She detailed how the marriage had been "good", with regular date nights, frequent gifts and intimacy at least twice a week. But after returning home from a girls' trip, her world was shattered as she discovered her mum and husband in bed together.
She continued: "I walked into my bedroom to find my mum having sex with my husband. My mother screamed at me to get out of 'their' bedroom which really shook me up even more.
"Unfortunately, my oldest daughter was also home in her bedroom across the house getting ready for a party. She ran out and witnessed my all but a bed sheet naked mother run out of our house next door to her house and slam the door.
"My daughter was devastated and went to my sister's house. I asked her not to say anything until I first talked to my husband."
Pressed for the truth, her husband admitted that her mum had seduced him when he was 18, and had been having unprotected sex since before their marriage. The woman ran the numbers and realised that her twin brothers and youngest brother could have been fathered by her husband.
She forced her husband to confess to her father, for whom his wife had been a high school sweetheart.
She added: "Needless to say, we could hear my mother screaming from her house when he confronted her. My dad kicked her out and she's now living with my 38-year-old sister.
"My dad insisted on a DNA test for the three youngest boys before he'd consider anything to do with their marriage. The twins are my husband's biological children. I've since kicked him out and he's living with his parents."
The woman and her dad are now trying to sell their homes to buy a larger property elsewhere together. The house remains in her dad's name - so neither husband nor mum will see a penny.
She concluded: "My husband is appalled and furious that I proved he actually is about to have seven kids, instead of five, and that I'm going to be taking half his business away from him.
"My husband started his own HVAC [heating, ventilation and air conditioning] company a few years back and for the first five years, I helped him get it set up, ran the office completely, and took time away from my teaching career to help him get this established.
"In my state, all marital assets, including businesses are split 50/50. I'm extremely bitter and angry at my mother, especially at her hypocrisy of calling me a whore and shaming my family, when she's done much worse.
"I also despise my ex with everything within me now, as he was having sex with both my mum and me in some instances coming to our bed minutes later. He got my mother pregnant less than a week after getting me pregnant and while I thought it was so cute and fun that I shared a pregnancy experience with my mum, she was carrying my children's half-siblings.
"He has broken all trust I had in men and being faithful. I have already procured a good lawyer from the firm that helped us in financial matters for both me and my dad and my dad is helping pay for it.
"My twin brothers, one of my sisters, and my entire ex's family have gone no contact with me and my minor children and my children have essentially lost all of their grandparents but my dad. I've been in therapy since the first week of January. I've offered this for my two adult children if they need family therapy with all of us, but they're doing individual therapy right now."
Reddit users have been sharing their thoughts on the saga in the replies.
One said: "All I can say is I feel for her and her children. This is a mess and these people are going to need some serious therapy.
"The mother/grandmother is a monster. Hopefully, she and the ex-husband are cut out of everyone's lives. There are just so many things wrong with this situation."
Another user added: "This is certainly one of the most tragic infidelity stories I've ever read. Betraying your partner is bad enough, but to betray your own daughter is just beyond disgusting."
A third wrote: "What got me the most is that her husband and mother are angry at her for ruining their happy life. What a crock, they did this to themselves and are now surprised that someone else was not willing to lie for them."
