I am a 62-year-old widow with one son and three grandchildren—or at least, that’s what I always believed.

Recently, my world turned upside down when I discovered that my first grandchild,

now 14, isn’t biologically mine. My daughter-in-law had been pregnant by another man before marrying my son.

What hurts most is that my son knew the truth all along and kept it from me.

I’m convinced they would have hidden it forever if I hadn’t found out myself.

The moment I learned the truth, I contacted my lawyer and removed my granddaughter from my will.

I told my son, “That girl isn’t family; she won’t get my legacy!”

He simply smiled faintly and said nothing.

But that night, my lawyer called again, delivering shocking news: my son had requested that his two other children—my biological grandchildren,

ages 12 and 8—be removed from my will as well. He claimed that neither

he nor the children wanted “a penny” from me.

I was devastated and tried calling him, but he didn’t answer.

Thinking he needed time to cool off, I waited.

Two days later, he invited me to a family dinner.

I hoped it meant he wanted to reconcile

. Instead, I froze when he announced, in front of everyone,

that he no longer wanted me near my two biological grandchildren.

“My family comes as a package,” he said. “If you decided my oldest daughter isn’t your family,

then you don’t deserve the others either.”

I left their home in tears, feeling completely betrayed.

First, he let me believe a lie for years, letting me think I had three grandchildren.

And now, he was cutting me off from the two who truly are my blood.

I never imagined my own son would treat me this way.

I’m left grappling with heartbreak and betrayal,

unsure of how to rebuild a connection that now feels irreparably broken.
