I’m from a polygamous family, and I lost my dad early last year. My mum gave birth to four kids, and my stepmom has three kids. I’m the last born of my mum, and I’m almost 25. My stepmom’s first child is around 23. We all grew up really fast, so we moved out of my Dad’s house early. I moved out when I was 20 during my service year. I was the last to move out because my elder siblings were already married by then. Since I moved out of the house, my mum has always called us to complain about one thing or the other my stepmom is doing to her. When we want to react or do something about it, she’ll tell us to let it go. At first, we thought my mum was overreacting or making up stories because most things sounded very unreal. We started believing her more when my Cousins started confirming everything she told us because they started visiting and staying in the house more often. All these things started when my dad was alive, but my mum didn’t tell him anything. One time, my stepmum even accused my mum of stealing something from her room.
When my cousins decided to look for it in her room and they found it, she said my mum took it but returned it because she was looking for it. My mum minds her business a lot, and by the grace of God, my siblings and I can afford anything she wants for her. My brother in Canada even begged her to relocate, but she refused. Now the main issue is something that happened recently. My mum and step-mum got into a fight, and my step-mom started accusing my mum of cheating on my dad. She even accused her of paternity fraud. She even went ahead to tell our neighbors that she was sure we were not my dad’s kids. When Mumc told us about it, personally, I was very pissed and I called my uncles to talk to them about it. My uncles begged and told us to let it go, talking about “We know you guys belong to our brother, blah blah blah.” Everything died down, but for some reason, I didn’t want to let it go.
So last December, all my siblings plus my half siblings spent Christmas at the family house, and I collected all our samples (lol, it wasn’t easy but I did). I ran a DNA test for both my siblings and my half-siblings. The results came out, and two of my half-siblings don’t belong to my dad; only one is my dad’s child. But all of my biological siblings belong to my dad. I kept it to myself for a short while, and I recently just told my mum and siblings about it. My siblings want to call a family meeting and tell my uncles, but my mum is insisting there’s no need because my dad is no longer alive, so we’ll only scatter the family. I personally want to disclose this, but I want to hear from you all. Do you guys think I should just let everything be like my mum said, or should I take it up?
