Woman left distraught after DNA kit exposed husbands affair with her own mum

A woman has been left distraught after a DNA kit revealed a sordid affair between her husband and her own mother - and he had even fathered her twin 'brothers'.

The woman explained the 'tragic' news of a 22-year-long affair, as he got both women pregnant within days of each other, reports the Mirror.

The 40-year-old has said her cheating husband has broken "all the trust I had in men", and has completely destroyed her family.

Taking to online social forum, Reddit, the woman wrote: "I have been with my 39-year-old husband since we were 15. I got pregnant at 17 and we moved in with my parents."

Shortly after giving birth to their first child, the couple got married and moved into her late grandad's ranch - next door to her parent's home.

She continued: "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."

"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."

The woman explained how she considered their marriage a "good" one, and they kept things exciting by going on date nights, buying gifts and being intimate more than twice a week.

However, upon returning home from a girls' trip one weekend, she was left in pieces after finding her mum and husband together in her bedroom.

She said: "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.

"I asked him for the truth. He told me that my mum seduced him when we were 18 and living in their house.

"They’d been having unprotected sex at least once a month for longer than we were married. I ran the maths and was horrified, because the timeline meant my twin brothers and youngest brother could be my husband’s."

The woman, who has six siblings aged between 42 and 18, couldn't keep the "disgusting" news to herself for much longer, and she told her dad everything.

She added: "I immediately called my dad and told him to come to my house without my mum.

"I made my husband confess and my dad was devastated, he and my mum were high school sweethearts too.

"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.

Ridding themselves of their respective partners, both the woman and her dad are now trying to sell their homes in order to buy a larger property elsewhere.

She added: "Since the house was still in my father's name, my husband will get no money from the sale, neither will my mother, since inherited assets are not subject to be split in divorces.

"My mother is also likely to not get any alimony, as our state is not a no fault divorce state.

"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 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."

After working out the timings of everything, the woman came to understand that her husband got her and her mum pregnant within just days of each other.

The woman concluded: "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."

Commenting on her post, one user 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 user said: "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."
