My 4-Year-Old Son Got Extremely Upset Every Time My MIL Babysat Him – When I Found Out Why, I Got Revenge
Zoe, a nurse, relied on her mother-in-law, Denise, to care for her son, Leo, during her shifts. But when Leo started showing signs of fear around Denise, Zoe became suspicious. At first, Leo’s behavior seemed like separation anxiety, but it worsened, and he tearfully confessed that Grandma “acted strange.” Leo revealed that Denise had been trying to put cotton swabs in his mouth, claiming it was for a DNA test. Concerned, Zoe confronted Denise, who admitted her suspicion that Leo’s blonde hair meant he might not be Andrew’s biological child.
Zoe, frustrated, agreed to a DNA test to prove Leo’s paternity but demanded that Andrew take one too, to show Denise what it felt like. The results confirmed Leo was Andrew’s son, but also revealed that Andrew’s father wasn’t his biological dad—something Denise had known but kept secret. This revelation shattered Andrew, and he decided to distance himself from his mother. Zoe realized Denise’s insecurities had led her to project doubts onto their family, but she was determined to focus on her son and move forward.
