A man has shared how he got the last laugh on his nosey sister-in-law who tried to embarrass him in front of his loved ones in an attempt to ‘set the record straight’
A man has turned his sister-in-law into a laughing stock after she secretly DNA tested his daughter to ‘reveal the truth’. He explained how he has a six-year-old daughter, who is not biologically related to him, but adopted after her parents tragically died.
Her biological mum was his childhood best friend – and he took on the responsibility to raise her daughter after she passed away. While keeping may of the details around their death private, he says his friend and her husband were killed in a shooting when working in the same building. The man, who remains anonymous, said on Reddit: “Both my friend and her husband had grown up with less than ideal families and didn’t have any siblings so there wasn’t any ‘next of kin’ for their daughter to go to.
“However, because I was close with them I was able to adopt her. Even though I had been iffy about the idea of kids I didn’t want their daughter to grow up in foster care or around people who didn’t have a connection to her bio parents so I stepped in.”
He says everyone close to him knows she isn’t his biological daughter – but he and his friends and family treat her as such.
He said: “My daughter, I’ll call Lily, also knows that she’s adopted. I never really hid the fact that she was adopted, she knows her parents are dead and were killed by a ‘bad man’ but I’m saving the details for when she’s older.
“Lily does not look like me at all. She looks exactly like her mother and biological dad. Most people assume that I’m her bio dad and that she just took after her mum.
“I don’t ever really correct this when and if people assume this because it just seems unnecessary.”

However, his sister-in-law started acting strangely around him and his daughter after seeing an old picture of him with her biological mother.
“My brother has been with his fiancée for about 2 years now,” he said. “A few weeks ago we were all meeting up at my parents house and my sister-in-law saw an old picture of me, my friend and her husband.
“She pointed to my friend and asked who she was, and I explained that was Lily’s mother.
“My sister-in-law got quiet and stood in front of the picture for a while. I didn’t think much of it.
“To clarify, she knows my friend died, but I guess didn’t know that she had been married, or that Lily is not my bio daughter.
“I suppose she assumed my daughter was mine and my friend’s biological daughter.”
Using his brother’s DNA, she discovered Lily isn’t biologically related to him at all – and made this ‘announcement’ at the earliest opportunity.
He said: “She used my brother’s DNA for the test, and when it came back that they weren’t related, she knew that meant me and Lily weren’t related.
“She came up to me with the results and waved them in my face, saying that I was taking care of a dead woman’s affair baby.
“She said this to me in front of my daughter. I just stared at her for a while before bursting out laughing at this.
“I told her I knew Lily wasn’t my biological daughter, and that this thing called adoption exists.
“Her face went red and she stormed off. My brother is mad I embarrassed his fiancée, but I said she embarrassed herself by DNA testing a kid that isn’t hers and then parading the results up to me.”
Wanting to know whether he’s in the wrong for his reaction, he has taken to social media to ask users for their thoughts.
In response, one user said: “She wanted to stir some shit up, that’s a hell of a lot of effort to ‘help’. Also I’d be p**sed about how she got Lily’s DNA to do this?
“It didn’t go the way she thought it would so she got mad, your brother is just trying to side with his soon to be wife.”
Another user added: “She did this in front of your daughter to maximise the damage she thought she was ‘exposing’. That is straight evil.”
