A grandmother discovered a secret her son and his wife tried to keep from their family for over 15 years after she agreed to pay for her granddaughter’s DNA test.<\/p>\n
Reddit user False-Worldliness664 admitted she long had doubts about her granddaughter Lindsay because she “had blond curly hair while the rest of the family has dark hair”.<\/p>\n
However, she didn’t see the need to investigate further until the 15-year-old complained about her parents forbidding her from taking an ancestry test.<\/p>\n
The teen’s biology teacher also fuelled her doubts further when she explained it was “odd” for the girl to have inherited some traits from her family.<\/p>\n
The Reddit grandmother said: “Now Lindsey (15) has it rough being middle child and she looks different from her siblings.<\/p>\n

I thought genetics was being weird and I love her.<\/p>\n “The issue came up when Lindsey told me her parents banned her from getting an ancestry test.

Now Lindsey is in high school and she went to her biology teacher. To put it bluntly, the teacher said it was odd for her to have some traits.”<\/p>\n The grandmother ultimately agreed to pay for her granddaughter’s DNA test \u2013 and discovered the woman she believed to be her mother was not genetically related to her.<\/p>\n The woman reported Lindsey was upset about “being lied to” and her son and daughter-in-law are refusing to speak to her because she paid for the test.<\/p>\n DON’T MISS: <\/strong> ![](\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/130\/590x\/secondary\/Teacher-and-children-during-the-biology-class-in-high-school-5077938.jpg?r=1700587009881\")
