A shocking family drama unfolded when a man discovered that the three children he had raised for six years were not biologically his.

The truth came to light just weeks before Thanksgiving, leaving the man devastated and struggling to process the betrayal.

In a post shared by @amebogist on Instagram, it was reported that he asked the woman and her children to leave while he processed the revelation.

But his family, believing the children shouldn’t be punished for their mother’s actions, invited them to the holiday gathering without consulting him.

When the woman and her children arrived, the man became visibly upset, witnesses say he rushed to the front door, blocking their entry, and told his family he wasn’t ready to see them so soon after learning the truth.

The woman reportedly pleaded with him, saying, “Mistake happens,” asking for forgiveness and understanding.

Despite her pleas, the man stood firm, and she eventually left with the children to avoid making the situation worse.

The incident has sparked heated debate online. Some defended the man, arguing he had every right to protect his emotional well-being. Others said the children shouldn’t suffer for their mother’s betrayal.

“Ikurav-ya President held an investigation on the controversial underaged Marriage Saga today. According to them, here are the facts discovered: The said girl was born in 2006 (19yrs). The girl passed out from secondary school last year.

“Both parents of the couple are fully in support. My personal facts gathered, the girl is 15yrs and without parents. She’s staying with the aunty who couldn’t fund her education no more. She’s heavily pregnant.

“She got pregnant before her SSCE paper. At least my noise made them to investigate. The girl is pregnant already while date for marriage is 18th December. Before you support such marriage, wait when you give birth to a girl child then give her to a man at age 15 to marry.
