Heartbroken New Mom Refuses To Forgive Husband For Accusing Her Of Cheating, Refuses To Trust Him With Their Child
When a woman makes a false claim that a guy is her child's biological father, paternity fraud happens because the man thinks he has fathered a child when he hasn't. There are many different reasons why people would lie, such as gaining money, improving their social standing, or hiding infidelity.
In addition to shattering trust in interpersonal relationships, paternity fraud has a significant negative impact on the lives of helpless children. The original poster of today's story was accused by her own husband of paternity fraud all because their newborn didn't have light skin.
The day the OP gave birth should have been the happiest moment in her life. When the OP's daughter was born, her skin was very dark, and it looked like she could have two biological parents who were of African descent.
Her husband was furious and accused her of cheating, and she left right then and there. He went ahead and told everyone on both sides of the family what happened, made posts on social media, and wanted a divorce.
He didn't stop there; he threw OP's stuff out on the lawn, changed the locks, and destroyed her art studio. The OP had to stay with her parents, but guess who came begging for forgiveness after conducting a DNA test?
You guessed right, so keep scrolling to read the full story in the OP's own words.
Here's the headline

OP's mother was by her side the entire time and she kept professing her innocence

OP admitted that he showed her his worst self and she doesn't know if she could live with that image

The Reddit post went viral with thousands of comments, and here are the most upvoted ones

Strangers on the internet having more perspective

Only the OP can decide if it's worth fighting for

The OP also revealed some things saying:
First, my parent who was adopted did the Ancestry/23 thing and it turns out that Jim wasn't the only one who had African ancestry. My parent had at least 45%, which means I have at least 20%. I am legally separated from my husband with primary custody, and I'm living with my parents until further notice. He still keeps apologizing and wants me to come back to the house, he even offered to leave so I could stay with our daughter but I don't want to and really like having the support of my parents. My dad is retired so he does a lot of the babysitting while my mother and I work remotely.Divorce is the only solution

The OP understands Jim being upset

Suing him for the maximum child support and alimony

The OP is free to take him back

Living in a culture of overreacting

The OP added this update later on

OP's maternal instincts are what took over when she didn't allow her husband to hold her child. In any case, some Redditors say that instinct can guide the OP back to him so that she can have a whole family, but she should be careful and pay attention to her gut.
She was told to remember to use her reasoning over instinct. In the end, she was declared not the AH, and that's a wrap.
