Man reveals truth to niece about why he kept distance 😔
A man recently revealed to his niece why he kept his distance from her growing up. The man discovered that his ex-fiancée had an affair with his brother while they were still together, resulting in his niece's birth. After almost signing the birth certificate, a DNA test proved the child was not his. The man admits that he kept his distance from his niece, not out of resentment towards her, but for his mental health. After Lily, his niece approached him about paying for her education, the man refused and explained how her parents were responsible for financing her education. Lily then discovered the truth about her birth and became angry with her parents, causing her to leave their home. The man feels guilty for telling Lily the truth but believes she deserves to know. He and Lily have since met to talk, apologize, and start healing. Overall, this incident has opened up old wounds for the man and Lily, but they hope to move on and heal.
Heartwarming update, sending best wishes to all ❤️
