I’ve been living with this secret for nearly two years. Everyone around me believes my ex-boyfriend is the father of my child but that’s not the truth. The real father is his dad.
It all started one night when My ex had traveled and left me at their family house for the weekend. I stayed because I was really close to his family, especially his mom we had a great bond.
But that night, something unexpected happened. His dad came home drunk. We ended up talking, and although the conversation felt awkward at first, there was something about the way he looked at me… I couldn’t quite explain how I felt. One thing led to another, and it happened. I told myself it was a one-time mistake something I could forget and move past. But it didn’t stop there. It happened again… and again.
By the time I found out I was pregnant, I had already gone too far to undo any of it. I had broken up with my boyfriend for other reasons, but he assumed the baby was his and to protect myself, I didn’t correct him. His family was so supportive, and his mother even threw me a beautiful baby shower.
But deep down, I was carrying a heavy truth… I knew I was pregnant with her husband’s child.
Now the guilt is eating me alive, and I don’t know how much longer I can keep this secret. My baby is growing and every day, he’s starting to look more and more like his real father… my ex’s dad. I panic constantly, terrified that someone will eventually notice.
He still texts me sometimes, asking if I’ll ever tell the truth. But how do I do that? How do I destroy an entire family? How do I ever explain this to my child one day?
I cry almost every night. I know I’ve created something so beautiful from a situation that was so wrong… and I honestly don’t know how to fix it. I’ve kept quiet for so long, burying the truth deeper and deeper, and now I feel stuck.
Please don’t judge me I lied about my baby’s father, and I just don’t know what to do anymore. I need advice.
