I am a 62-year-old widow with one son and three grandchildren — or, at least, that’s what I always believed.
Recently, I uncovered something that completely turned my world upside down: my first grandchild, now 14, is not biologically mine.
My daughter-in-law had been pregnant by another man when she married my son.
What hurts even more is that my son knew the truth all along
but kept it from me. I’m convinced they would have hidden it forever if I hadn’t discovered it myself.

The moment I learned the truth, I contacted my lawyer and removed my granddaughter from my will.
I told my son, “That girl isn’t family, she won’t get my legacy!” He just looked at me, gave a faint smile, and said nothing.
But that night, I received a call that shook me to my core.
My lawyer informed me that my son had requested that his two other children — my biological grandchildren, ages 12 and 8 — be taken out of my will as well. He told the lawyer that neither he nor the children wanted “a penny” from me.
I was devastated. I tried calling my son immediately, but he didn’t pick up.
Thinking he was angry and just needed time, I decided to wait until he cooled off.
Two days later, he invited me to a family dinner.
I thought it was a sign that he wanted to make peace.
But instead, I froze when he announced — right in front of everyone — that he no longer wanted me near his other two kids.
He said, “My family comes as a package.
If you decided my oldest daughter isn’t your family
, then you don’t deserve the others either.”

I left their home in tears.
Now, I feel completely betrayed by my own son. First, he allowed me to believe a lie for years, letting me think I had three grandchildren. And now, he is cutting me off from the two who truly are my blood.
What should I do? I never imagined my own son would treat me this way.
