I been with my baby mama off and on for almost six years. We got a 4-year-old son together, and even though we’ve never had the most stable relationship, I always thought we had a bond no one could touch. I’ve looked out for her, paid her bills when she was down, and even let her crash at my place more than a few times when she was between jobs or apartments.
But here’s where the story gets crazy...
A few months ago, I noticed she was acting weird. She stopped answering calls late at night, got real secretive with her phone, and was always “busy” when I asked to come see my son. I chalked it up to her maybe having a new dude — we weren’t together at the time — but I never expected the new dude to be my little brother.
Yep. My own blood.
I found out after my cousin DM’d me on Instagram with a screenshot from her close friend's story. She didn’t know she had added my cousin on a burner account. It was a video of her and my brother laid up in a hotel room, his arm around her belly while she rubbed it and smiled.
SHE’S. PREGNANT.
I confronted both of them. My brother had the nerve to tell me, “It just happened.” That they had been “connecting” during a time when we were on bad terms and he “didn’t mean for it to go this far.” Baby mama said she didn’t know how to tell me because she didn’t want to mess up our co-parenting situation, but the truth was going to come out one way or another.
Now here’s the REAL kicker…
My mom is mad at me for not being more “understanding.” She says my brother is young and “didn’t mean no harm.” She told me I need to get over it and focus on raising my son like a mature man. Meanwhile, my dad ain’t saying a word! Just shaking his head like I brought this on myself or something.
I’m beyond livid. I feel betrayed, disrespected, and now I gotta deal with the fact that my son’s little sibling is also his cousin. I don’t even know how to process that.
Should I cut both of them off completely? Or do I just suck it up and try to keep the peace for the sake of my kid?
Fellas, what would you do? Is this unforgivable or am I being too emotional?
