Absolutely

[@deshonebonyrowland-ward4552]

This one made me shed a tear... As someone who knew her father but he wasn't in my life.. It hurt.. But to never have gotten the opportunity to even know your biological dad??? So sad... At least the dad she was told was her dad was good to her but this means she has a whole family she doesn't know about... Very sad.. Sending light.. Love and healing to her.. And it was so amazing how the judge came out and said a prayer for them.. 🙏🏾❤️

Momma was getting boogie! Update: was talking about the dancing, it was beautiful seeing them together. The ending has me in tears.

I too pray that she keeps walking with her head up high!

I’m the oldest grandchild I used to get treated better than the other kids. I don’t allow anyone to show favorites with my children. I never knew how the other kids felt we couldn’t ask questions back then so it did put a wedge between my sister and I. I’m glad that we have been able to repair our relationship. I hope they can do the same

[@shanikaayanna9767]

If the one sister didn’t want to know, she didn’t have to come. She can’t stop the plaintiff from finding out about HER paternity, just because it’s not important to her.

[@BREEZYM6015]

I agree.

[@yeahthatslaki9877]

I don’t think that was it. I think they all kinda knew she didn’t have the same dad and she didn’t want her sister to be hurt. Sometimes family secrets just should be buried when they die

[@Fiftyflavoursofbree]

This story hit so close to home! My mom told me in my younger days “some lady at the hospital named you.” I used to wonder why all of my sister’s name FIT and flowed and that was her response. That she could have kept to herself because being the last born it did truly make me feel unwanted. Furthermore, my siblings saying I was found and then being body shamed from early on because they were crack head skinny and I had a little meat on my bones. Goodness those words did truly carry over to adulthood.

[@melyndaduh3501]

Yes, it says something when a parent doesn't name a child. It's like the parent has already disconnected. It doesn't bode well for the child. Maybe God's abundant blessings be with these children.

[@danaizhahunter1721]

they always do.

[@angelJ5820]

I’m sorry this has happened to you I pray that you are doing well today ❤❤❤❤❤

[@deejai1173]

That’s a shame for her to feel like an outside sibling all of her life, because of the way certain family members treated her(shame on them) she was just a kid. Now to be a full grown woman and find out the reasons she was treated that way is true, I know it has to hurt. Ma’am if you read the comments, I’m sorry this happened, but please, know it does not define who you are! Best wishes moving forward 💞💞

[@valariegast1910]

AMEN, EVERYTHING YOU SAID WAS SO TRUE AND EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED TO HER HAPPENED TO ME, BUT MUCH WORSE....YOU ARE RIGHT...IT DOESN'T DEFINE WHO I/WE ARE.

I wanted to hug them so bad. Those were deep soul sobs. Bless them.

[@jplaya2023]

It was wrong for the sister to question why she would want to know who her father is. She missed out on half her family and was lied to. This is why DNa testing should be mandatory at birth

[@el-Cu9432]

For some at times it is best to leave things alone. For some the truth may open up a world of hurt.

[@lindalovejones0421]

@j playa I ALWAYS SAY DNA TESTING SHOULD BE MANDATORY AT BIRTH. IT WILL ALSO KEEP FATHER'S FROM PAYING CHILD SUPPORT TO ONLY FIND OUT THAT THEIR NOT THE BIOLOGICAL FATHER. THE US GOVERNMENT HAVE TO MAKE THEIR MONEY THOUGH NOT FAIR TO MEN.

You’re right. But back then it was blood type. DNA testing didn’t exist until 90’s.

[@nikkinic2269]

We, as BLACK PEOPLE, have to do better by OUR children!!! I've never cried watching an episode of Judge Mathis, but this was heart wrenching. 😢 Her mother passed-her-off as her husband's child, knowing DAMN WELL, she wasn't. She wasn't just cold to her children, she was deceptive! There are no perfect humans, therefore no perfect parents. But WE have to learn from our mistakes as well as the mistakes of others, to improve our family units as a community.

[@flo-dd5sw]

We AS PEOPLE have to do better by our children. So many Whites sent their pregnant, unwed girls off to hide fornication. After delivery, the mother and father took the child claiming it as their own to hide illegitamacy.

Could it be a possibility that both the mother and father both knew but didn’t want to tell her thinking that it was on her best interests? She did say the man perceived as her father was good to her.

Kathy’s mother probably felt shame & was reminded of her infidelity when she saw the Child, but her Husband stood in honor & raised the child as his own. God bless them🤲🏾💞

Too many dishonest women sleeping around and not being honest with their children or the man they have believing it's his children. Shameful to say the least.

[@lindalovejones0421]

Michelle I think couples (married or unmarried), should make an agreement to take DNA test the moment the child is born whether you all trust one another or not. It will stop all the doubting family members from the door and the man doesn't have to wonder if it is his baby or not...

[@The-Mediator]

@@lindalovejones0421 I think women need to be more honest in this area. Trust is a virtue, like faith.

[@sereneamani1713]

I don't remember them saying the father was unknowing about the paternity. You don't know what went on in their parents' marriage. Yet you're judging people. That's shameful.

[@leslieh761]

I think the grandmother knew the truth from some of the things she shared ... but yes, moms need to make sure they tell the truth so their children don't have to go on that search later.

[@JS_my_opinion]

This hurt. I can relate to the plaintiff and many on this thread probably can too. The blessing is the fact that she's a truth seeker and it came out (regardless of time). She's endured a lot growing up and kept her head held high with the support of her sisters. My sister literally just sent me a text while watching this and she said "Hey dear brother and sisters, God is so good you guys." And my response "All the time 🙌🏾." And our family is going through a similar situation, it never changed the love and bond we have with each other. My brother and I always say "We all we got!"

[@KINGDOMDAUGHTER]

The plaintiff and the defendants will be okay, and closure is the next step to healing and forgiveness Although the results was SAD, I can certainly relate to my being the siblingd who was told they found me in the dumpster, that I need to go look for my real daddy, because I have no resemblance to none of my siblings or dad. I felt and was one neglected & rejected to what i see, feel by our mother. I do all the chores, never get to go places or travel, never had a passport till I was on my own.....so I can definitely relate to the plaintiffs pain/hurts. I asked our mother and like many times dismisses me and changed the topic, or say, child go pick up a book and read or go do this or that, mostly go wash the dishes, even when it wasn't my day to do so.... At the last asking when i was 32 yrs old, my mother got upset and went ifg angrily saying she knows who her children father is and she will go jump in ftint of a truck, dont know why she said that, but it was never brought up to this day. I left it alone and still have a strain relationship with my siblings who are closer to each other rather I. I am okay with this, for I made peace with it many years upin years now to forgive them all and forgive me too, but to always love them, but with boundaries.
