Amelia was 30 when she gave birth to her son Evan. She was married to David for five years, and they had a strong relationship for years, despite her MIL, Gloria.
Gloria was constantly talking about how Evan was not looking like David. She wanted them to take a DNA test for that.
Amelia couldn’t believe what she heard. David was not believing his mother, as he had no doubt that Evan was his.
When Amelia talked with her husband, David told her that his mother was just doing what she did for the past years. She doesn’t mean any harm but she can’t hold herself.
On the next day, Gloria talked with David where she told him that she looked at his baby pictures, and that Evan was not looking close to him.
Amelia expected David to shut his mother, but he didn’t. He just sat there in silence.
“How could you let her say those things?” Amelia dried. “How could you not defend me?”
“Amelia, I know Evan’s mine,” he began. “But maybe… maybe Mom’s right. Maybe a DNA test would shut her up for good.”
Amelia couldn’t believe what her husband said.
She accepted to take the test as she had nothing to fear. A week later the results arrived. It was confirmed that Evan was David’s son. She also invited the doctor who run the test to explain the truth about why Evan was looking different.
The doctor told Gloria that a gen she carrying had caused Evan to look different from her father, where the man stated that Gloria’s father was carrying the same gene Evan had.
They were shocked. Despite Gloria apologized from Amelia constantly, she told Gloria that she doesn’t want her around her child, and in her household.
She told David that if he wants to see his mother in his home, then they should divorce. David chose his wife, and only visited his mother in Gloria’s own home.
It took ten years for Amelia to forgive Gloria. But she never talked with her sincerely ever again.
