When My Son, Ryan, Was a Senior in College, His Girlfriend of 3 Weeks Told Him She Was Pregnant. I Suggested That He Take a DNA Test…When my son Ryan was a senior in college, his girlfriend of just three weeks, Shelley, told him she was pregnant. My heart dropped—not because I didn’t believe her, but because everything was happening so fast. Ryan was young, overwhelmed, and clearly terrified.
I gently suggested he take a DNA test. Not to accuse her—just to be sure. Ryan agreed.The test came back showing he was the father, and Ryan, doing what he believed was right, proposed. They set a wedding date only a few months away.That’s when everything turned ugly.Shelley was furious that I’d ever suggested a test. She told Ryan I hated her. She told relatives I was spreading lies. She told friends I was calling her names I never even thought, let alone said. Before I could defend myself, I was painted as the villain.
