Dear Bright Side, A few weeks ago, I picked up my six-month-old son from my sister’s house. She occasionally watches him, and I’ve always trusted her.
That day, I arrived early and found her breastfeeding my son. I froze. She didn’t notice me at first, and I stood there, unsure of what to do. When I stepped in, she explained that he was crying, and since she was still nursing her own baby, she thought it was the quickest way to calm him. I left, confused and angry.
Days later, I found an old post on her social media about her fertility struggles, which mentioned secretly undergoing IVF at the same clinic my husband and I used. My heart dropped. After confronting her, I learned the shocking truth: my sister and my husband had been having an affair, and my son was their child, not just mine. Now, my life is shattered. My sister betrayed me, my husband lied, and I’m raising the product of their affair.
