I Destroyed My Entire Family with a $99 DNA Test Kit... Relationship Stories

We've all been seeing the recent craze of DNA testing and whatnot, so my dad and I decided to jump in the bandwagon and we bought 2 from 23andme. We got our results back a few days ago and I went into the DNA relatives section to check out my matches. At the top it listed my dad as only sharing 29.2% DNA with me and being predicted to be a half-brother, which is impossible. This didn't make sense to me since we also shared a paternal haplogroup and we just look so alike, so he was definitely my father. My cousin also had taken the test a while back and she shared 24.6% with me, also predicted to be my half-sibling. We're supposed to share around 12%, being 1st cousins.
I couldn't think of a genetic relationship that would explain what I was seeing and I had doubts in the accuracy of the percentages, so I made this post on r/23andme, asking for help. Basically, the shared percentages are extremely accurate and highly unlikely to be false.

SAME, like, the uncle is dogshit for sleeping with his brother’s wife but frankly, if she was willing to cheat with her husband’s brother she would have cheated with any man who would have her. Intentionally sleeping with your partner’s sibling just feels like the most intentionally hurtful and malicious way you can cheat.

I'm not dating, but I hope to have kids one day. It should be common sense for every father to have at least one DNA test conducted prenatally and independently.

[@Kevin7557]

@@dodgedemonsrtx A lot of institutions will forge DNA results because they do not want to harm the child or mother. It isn't as common as it used to be, but it is still an issue where your DNA test results can be illegitimate. Sometimes the lab also screws up. Either in which report they send you or in processing. This is why you should have two tests done always. I recommend a prenatal as to avoid wasting resources on another man's child. A second test after the birth to confirm the results of the first test. The last is a saying. A baby is 100% the mothers, but the father has no such assurance. Hence it is his "maybe." Not my saying, but it circulates from time to time.

It's broadly accurate enough to figure out if you are Slavic or not... since that's the issue at hand. Determining Races within the various surviving Homo Sapien species is not that difficult... so it can seperate the various Species (what is erroneous called Race) & then the breakdown of the racial differences within each species... so for Whites (species) than the racial distinctions of Slavic, Nordic, Germanic, Celtic, Latin, & the surviving pockets of Levantines. That's easy as fuck... it's when you start breaking down those races into geolocations is where it gets fuzzy, since it would throw me out as a Scottish Highlander as that's the part of the American ethnogensis recreated the same conditions which created the Scottish Highlander (distinct fron the Scottish Lowlanders) in the first place by a heavy infusion of Nordic into a Celtic pool.

And he is a what... one time rapist? And why wouldn't you get a DNA test and then tell? What... you are worried that they won't believe you? Humm... pregnancy is pretty solid proof.

I'd personally invite Dad on some vacation, spend some time at a beach or mountain hotel, and talk up hiking, the gym, etc. as soon as dad gets the ball rolling.

Pro tip: always get a second test done by a reputable company through a medical professional. Never put 100% stock in these home tests. Sometimes the test is conducted incorrectly at the lab and churns out a false result. Other times they send you the wrong information. There was one family where the father abandoned the son because the lab mixed up his and his brother's results. He later had a second more reliable test done and proved he was the father. They are having a third test done (second for the person) on the brother to see if he is in fact his father's child and the lab had not screwed up. Or just save your money until you can go for a reputable company. Do note a lot of these companies add genetic information that otherwise doesn't exist to combat "racism." I personally would not touch one of these tests just based on accuracy alone. The fact they sell your DNA is another concern.

Story 2: I was not going to say anything but i have to. Artificial insemination in the 50s was just starting. They were trying to grow baby's in test tubes in the 60s. I believe in the early 70s they succeeded in with the test tube baby. but it all started in the 50s with them picking the healthiest sperm and placing it in the egg outside of the woman and in a test tube. If the egg split they put it back in the woman. But it failed more most of the time. That's why they used test tubes to try to perfect it which leads up to what i said about them actually growing the first test tube baby in the 70s. You have to remember we went to the moon first time in late 60s( Apollo 11 (July 16-24, 1969) was the spaceflight that first landed humans on the Moon. Commander Neil Armstrong ) so yea artificial insemination was in first stage development in the 50s.

[@sirrykr1679]

Actually it is entirely possible for two parents with bloodtype A+ to produce á child with O+ if both parents carry the O gene. The A gene is dominant but the O gene is non dominant. So if an individual inherits A gene from one parent and the O gene from the second parent then the child will always have bloodtype A. But when that child grows up it can still pass the O gene to his/her children and if the other parent also has a O gene and passes it down, then with two O genes the cild will always have O bloodtype. 😮

I am so disgusted with these lying women

[@backforblood3421]

"I couldn't think of a genetic relationship that would explain what I was seeing..." Really? I am in a tremendously mentally suppressed state with a tremendous lack of sleep and I understood just about instantly when you mentioned the part about your "father", and then it was reinforced when you mentioned your "cousin". I stopped the video maybe a few seconds after what I quoted above, so I have not heard the revelation of it, but I think the titles of a certain Robert De Niro movie and a Johnny Knoxville Jackass Presents movie are befitting here.

[@backforblood3421]

Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. If the test said you were half brothers with your "father", your "uncle" could not have been your father. It would have to be your "grandfather". Did they just not explain this correctly?

[@culixstar]

my mother found out, while my grandfather was on his deathbed. that she isn't his bio daughter. i don't know all the details but she got preggo by another guy and got with my grand dad. obviously he knew she was preggo but stayed with her and raised my mom like his own. i find it amazing that there's people in this world that can lie about something like that, for over 60 years, and then take it to their grave. my grand father, as the good man he was. let my mom know. she then found and met her bio dad and all of her half siblings. though i personally don't care to meet them(not close to anyone in my family) i am happy the truth...eventually...came out.

[@BudokaiMan-mr9tw]

Is there a new update to the first story with op and his dad? Cause it's been well over a year now.

[@Duke00x]

In the first story the aunt and cousin and him and his dad should also have therapy. The OP and cousin now have to deal with being half-siblings and the aunt now has her nephew being her kids half-sibling and the product of her husband cheating on her which could breed resentment for said nephew.

[@notnice9873]

Well that escalated very quickly.

[@tedholly6178]

The selfishness of cheaters is astounding but should exposed for what they really are !

[@AP-57]

These stories make surrogacy seem like a gift from God.

[@neilallenphillips590]

Common in those days to hide things. My paternal great grandmothers sister had a child out of wedlock at 16. The child became her little "sister", their entire life. Both never married and lived together until their passing. Her daughter never knew her as a mom, only as a sister. Common in cultures in the north for the grandmother to take in her first born grandchild and raise it as her own, but it is well known by all including the child who her mom is, and it all goes well, since grandmas always baby their first grand baby, and the new mother gets a bit of a respite.

“I just got a DNA test turns out I’m 100%... Not what I thought I was”

[@nichochan8681]

Did this shit the other day. Got to break down in front of my in laws who were meeting my mom for the first time that day. Still not talking to my mom for a laundry list of shit but this is at the top of the list.

[@zazi5094]

Poor OP. His/her whole world broke down just like that.

[@alanc973]

As they always say on reddit get some THERAPY. lol.

[@robbking6633]

Story 1 ; .... are you and your family from Kentucky lol

[@charlespickering2726]

DNA tests. The way to get the answer to a question you probably should have never asked in the first place.

[@gomezasc]

This is sad, my uncle did the same to his brother...

[@dangerousbray4037]

I got 99 dollars and that’s where my problem came from

[@kos2919]

I wonder if in 23 and me there's a special tally marks for how many families ruined with their testing kit

[@Locomotion-uz4ly]

Oh, yeah. They ruined the families, not the cheaters they outed. Nice spin, genius!

[@glong86]

That's one way to look at it. Another way is that it exposed the liars and cheaters and helped bring truth to light.

[@Kevin7557]

@@Locomotion-uz4ly They've actually sent out bad results and wrong results before and another more reputable lab had to provide accurate results correcting their mistake.

[@bonb213]

23 & Me and Ancestry DNA actually warns people that things like this happen because it happens quite frequently. They even have teams of counselors whose sole purpose is to help people deal with these situations.

[@andrewu2480]

Yeah, you didn't ruin your family, momma did.

[@mompofelski4191]

Despite the drama - it is a good thing to know the truth. YOU have NOTHING to be ashamed of or feel guilt over or regret - NOTHING AT ALL. YOU ARE INNOCENT - and apparently your dad is just as innocent. Your non-traditional relationship with your mother is probably because you reminded her daily of her shameful behavior (who knows how long that went on). When the dust settles - you all will have to pick up the pieces and figure out how to be adults about it, forgive and move on. Good luck.
