A listener on a phone in show on Kaya FM recently shared a deeply troubling experience following the death of his wife. After her passing, he received a message on Facebook from a stranger who claimed that his second-born child was not biologically his. The man alleged that he had an affair with the listener's late wife, which resulted in her pregnancy. According to this stranger, they had kept their relationship hidden out of respect for the listener's marriage.
After some time, the listener confronted the man, who provided evidence of the affair. Feeling profoundly betrayed, he is now seeking guidance on how to navigate this complex situation, especially since he has raised the child as his own.
The listener recounted, "My wife sadly passed away last year after a brief illness. Three months later, I received a message from a man on Facebook claiming my second child wasn't mine and that he was the biological father. I was in shock and chose not to respond initially. As time went on, I found myself looking at my son and questioning whether he truly was mine."
Eventually, he decided to engage with the man. He learned that this individual had previously worked with his wife and that they had been involved romantically. The listener discovered that while his wife confided in this man about her pregnancy, they agreed to keep it secret to protect their marriage. After leaving the company, they lost contact until he reached out upon hearing about her death.
In December, they met face-to-face where the stranger presented proof of their relationship. "This shattered my heart," said the listener. "I will never have answers from my late wife." He has kept this revelation from family and friends while trying to figure out his next steps.
The situation escalated when the man began pressuring him for a relationship with his son, giving him three months to discuss it with family or face legal action.
"I feel disrespected and confused about what to do next," he expressed. "Should I insist on a DNA test first? How do I approach my family? If it turns out he is indeed the father, can co-parenting even work? Should I consult a lawyer for guidance? Am I missing any crucial steps?"
