Brother Made My Life Hell. Later Found Out He Got My Wife Pregnant and Our Son Wasn't Mine. Now He..

brother made my life hell later found out he got my wife pregnant and our son wasn't mine now he's crawling back after our parents disowned him and left me their 2 million inheritance I have a younger brother Caleb who has absolutely despised me all my life if you are wondering maybe it was out of jealousy well you were wrong I wasn't the favored child he was so he had nothing to feel jealous about let me give you some context my mom has always pampered my younger brother he was The Golden Child in our family mom

would make his meals do his laundry and even ask me to assist with his school work I was expected to help out just because he's family but the same courtesy was never extended to me I came to accept it as I was quite independent perhaps it was partly my fault for accommodating his wants and needs without reciprocation he never lent a hand when I needed it and reached out to me only when he wanted something for me I was a quiet introverted kid who liked to study and keep to myself while he was exactly like

our dad rough and loud I also tend to be straightforward and honest not sugarcoating things and saying it like it is I believe my mother might have developed some negative perception of me as a result of my childhood as a result he was everyone's favorite in our family I didn't mind that when we were growing up the trouble arose when he found a way to sort of bully me or mock me for being different from him he would mock me for height or the fact that I was wearing glasses he would sneak into my room

and try to read my diary so then he could complain to my mom about anything that I had written I would yell at him and complain to my parents about him invading my privacy but they would laugh at off telling me how it was not a big deal he did more terrible things like nearly breaking my glasses and putting nasty things in my food he had even once put little stones in my cereal but luckily I found them before it could have hurt my teeth I told my mom but she brushed it off saying this

is how Brothers Bond every time we would fight Caleb would insult me knowingly focusing on all my insecurities he and I went to the same school so he was aware that I was being bullied by a couple of kids he would show support to those kids instead of supporting me he would join them in calling me names like the ugly loser or hairy monkey and encouraging the bullies to physically harm me because according to him I was just a big failure another time we had a fight about something I can't remember remember but it was

probably something silly and at the end of the fight he told me to kill myself other insults I could brush off easily but that one really hurt because I was struggling with my mental health during that time I'm doing better now it just sucked to hear that my own brother wanted me to die since Dad was often at work and mom didn't seem to care much she even scolded me once claiming it was my fault for playing and irritating him things got progressively worse there was a time he attempted to burn my hair when we

were in high school and shockingly Mom sided with him insisting he was just playing who plays like that serious L fortunately dad eventually took my side and pointed out that they had some serious issues he threatened to call the police on Caleb this was an i openening moment for my brother because until then he had never been reprimanded for any of his actions he was really taken aback and my dad continued to tell him how enough was enough and that he needed to start respecting his older brother later dad came into my room and talked

to me I had never expected my dad to support him because he always told Caleb while he was growing up how similar both of them were which was true dad told me that he had patiently waited for years for Caleb to grow up thinking maybe he was just being an immature kid but he was slowly starting to realize that Caleb was becoming a big bully when I heard my dad say this I felt so validated that I almost broke down in tears I confessed to my dad everything that Caleb had done to me over the

years and even opened up about the bullying in school my dad was shocked that I was going through so much the next day he went and talked to the principal so my bullies could be warned about severe consequences if they continued later in the evening my dad enrolled me in MMA at our local gym he told me that I needed to man up and stand up to bullies in my life life I will admit that a nerdy kid like me trying to learn to fight must have been laughable to watch however like everything in my

life I am very focused when I want to learn something I carved out time for my studies so I could work out every day and go to MMA classes not to brag but it completely changed my life and my physique one day Caleb was at it again he had stolen my pocket money which we used to get if we helped our parents with doing chores I had been saving my money for quite some time Caleb had sneaked into my room and taken my money I caught him when he was about to cycle off with his

friends I firmly told him to give me back my money since he knew stealing was wrong but Caleb snickered and taunted that all I could do was run to Daddy for help I don't know what came over me but I gave Caleb a resounding punch to his face he was stunned in silence as he fell backward on the ground I picked him up and took out my money from his trouser pocket and then threw him back down on the ground Caleb started to cry loudly like a little baby it was comical to see a teenage

boy crying on the ground however my mother came running out the door hearing her baby boy to help him up and find out what had happened when she learned that I had fought with him she was surprised and then started to reprimand me she told me that as an older brother I should teach better things to Caleb while Caleb seemed to be enjoying seeing me being chastized my mother also complained to my dad about how I had thrashed Caleb up and how I needed to be controlled my dad grimly asked both of us to explain

ourselves I told him how Caleb had stolen the money that I had worked hard for and saved up while Caleb attempted to justify how he needed the money for a date and that as my brother I should help him however dad told Caleb that he was lucky that I just punched him for stealing my money because anyone else would have called the police on him my dad continued to tell Caleb how he had no right to take others things without their consent Caleb didn't like that and started to throw a tantrum probably wanting our mother

to side with him but Dad remained firm when Caleb realized that I was not going to be punished for punching him he screamed how much he hated me and then ran back into his room and locked himself in since that incident Caleb maintained his distance from me he had finally realized that he could not bully me anymore and even dad was not supporting his Antics for the first time in a long time I felt we were equals even though he could not physically hurt me he would try to verbally say nasty things to me when

he knew our parents would not be around it definitely got worse as he got older it felt like each year he became angrier and had a shorter fuse if I approached him to ask something he would simply ignore me to my face and walk away out of the room calling me a nerd or a loser under his breath if he wanted to say something to me he would only go through our mother who would relay the message I would question my mother as to why Caleb could not just talk to me if he wanted something

and she would implore me to be more understanding I had no clue if this was just him going through puberty and I had to wait it out out or if he actually truly hated me I used to be able to deal with the things he would say over the years but it got to a point where I just wanted to move out of home to get away from him I would go to my mother countless times asking if she could mediate a sit-down conversation for all of us to talk it out but she always refused

saying she didn't want to get involved I even asked for her opinion on why he treated me that way but she would just brush off the question eventually I went away to my dream University since I was a grade a student and was even qualified for a scholarship my dad threw a party for me and my mom seemed proud of me also however Caleb remained aloof and distant barely acknowledging my achievements the day I left for University was a mix of excitement for the future and relief to escape the toxic environment at home the first

few months at the University were liberating I made new friends enjoyed my classes and started to build a life separate from the oppressive atmosphere I had experienced growing up the constant fear of Caleb's verbal attacks lifted and I felt a newfound sense of peace I began dating my wife Karen when we were both in the second year of our University my friend introduced us at a frat party and we clicked right away coming from a religious family having kids without being married was a big no no however we found out she was pregnant when we

were in the last year of our University which prompted us to get married as soon as we graduated our wedding was a small but peaceful ceremony our parents were happy for us and we had a good time at our wedding at that moment I believe she was the love of my life I always held the mindset that I wanted monogamy in life one woman to come home to and be with for the Long Haul despite women trying to engage with me over the years I never pursued anything because I was genuinely content in my marriage

Karen was my dream girl and I never wanted to hurt her however over the years there were two occasions when I discovered she was being unfaithful in our marriage one was an off and on Affair that lasted a few years with her married cooworker and the other was a fling with an ex she had dated in high school when she went to visit her family states away I'm sure there will be people who might call me foolish and looking back I can't really deny it myself after a period of Separation in both situations I made

the decision to forgive my wife I never wanted to raise my child in a broken home and I genuinely believed we could overcome these challenges we were quite Young when the situation with her coworker occurred so I chocked it up to youthful mistakes and not thinking things through for a while things seemed okay with us I could never fully trust her but I tried my best to push aside my doubts because I knew that if I chose to forgive her I had to work towards moving past it and starting with a clean slate it's been

4 years since the second time she was unfaithful and I felt like I made the right decision by giving her a chance to show that she still wanted to be in our marriage for years Karen seemed to have changed and we were genuin happy with plans set in motion for the future of our family however 3 months ago my reality was once again Shattered by yet another incident which in my mind was far worse than the others when she revealed that she had been sleeping with someone for quite some time and suggested that our son

might not even be mine hearing her words I felt like the ground had been pulled out from under me a mix of shock betrayal and disbelief overwhelmed me I struggled to comprehend the enormity of what she had just disclosed in a days I managed to ask her why she had kept such a significant Secret secret and how she could have done something so devastating her reaction was a cold and indifferent demeanor she seemed detached almost unbothered by the pain she had inflicted her responses were vague leaving me with more questions than answers it was a

surreal and painful moment confronting the shattered trust and the uncertainties about my own family I continued to ask Karen to tell me the truth because I felt like I deserved to know the father of the child since I had been literally raising our son since the beginning in the end she admitted that it was Caleb my eyes widened in shock as I asked her what exactly she meant by that this is when Karen told me how she and Caleb had become friends back when I had introduced Karen to my family and she had stayed with

us for Thanksgiving up until the New Year's I remember Caleb who was usually cold to me was quite polite and warm towards her I was glad since I did not want to make Karen feel unwelcome she wanted to be accepted into my family so she would spend significant time hanging out with my mom whenever she could she noticed that Caleb and I were not that close and questioned me about it I finally opened up to her about my childhood equation with Caleb and told her how we might never be able to repair our relationship since

he never could move past his feelings Karen understood however she started to include Caleb whenever we would go out perhaps hoping that both of us would warm up to each other if we were going to watch a movie she would invite Caleb and then we would have to watch whatever movie Caleb wanted to watch I guess during this time Caleb and I did talk a few words here in there which was a significant Improvement compared to how he had been giving me the silent treatment for years I do remember Karen and Caleb would hang out

and play video games together but I never thought much about it Karen told me how one day Caleb opened up to her about his struggles and his recent breakup with his then EX girlfriend he seemed so vulnerable with her and they struck a friendship she said how he would sometimes harmlessly flirt with her when I was not around and apparently one thing led to another and she could not control herself anymore I closed my eyes as the vision of my wife and brother sleeping together almost made me puke she told me how guilty she felt

after that and ran away from him after that she decided to go back home which was true because my girlfriend had abruptly told me how she wanted to go back home when I thought she would be spending the New Year's with me I tried to convince her to stay but she was adamant that she had to go after the holidays when we met in college once our classes resumed she was back to her usual cheerful self so I never questioned anything 2 weeks after that we found out that she was pregnant now Karen told me

that she had no idea whether it was really my child or Caleb's and she had no way to find proof because I was already stepping up she knew out of the two I was a more dependable brother so she decided to stay with me and this is why we got married I felt like my whole world was crashing down around me the son I had loved and spent countless hours with may not even be mine I questioned her if she had been sleeping with Caleb in the present times and she nodded slowly Karen told me

how she and Caleb had always stayed in touch because their chemistry was undeniable they would sneak off to hotels when she would lie to me that she was working overtime she told me how half of her business trips were just romantic getaways with him I asked Karen why she would even be married to me if she really wanted my brother but Karen told me how she did not want to be the one to break off a marriage and seeing how I was such a wonderful father to our son she had stayed with me all this

while in her words she had made a mistake and she didn't know when to stop I simply told Karen that I was glad that she told me that the truth and that I was going to pack up and move out Karen started to cry and ask for my forgiveness telling me how I was supposed to scream and yell at her but here I was calmly thinking of my next move I remained quiet while I walked to my cupboard and started packing some of my clothes into my suitcase Karen kept saying how if I really loved

her then I should try to at least fight for her and mistakes happen in every marriage when she realized that I was not going to do anything she changed her tactic and told me how my son would be affected if we got a divorce and how children should not be brought up in a broken home I reminded her how I may not even be the father which then reduced her to tears and she started to yell at me about being cruel and how I could easily walk away when I had been there for the child

since his birth it seemed like my wife believed there was nothing that could make me want out of our marriage I guess it was partly my fault for letting a lot slide in the past while I did have some love for her it felt more like it stemmed from the fact that I thought we had a son together and had been together since College Karen continued to claim that it was not too late and that we could work things out but I struggled to believe it and felt like I had no more patience to deal

with her trust was a major issue for me and her words felt empty even if I forgave her I could never forget that she had slept with my own brother I have always believed that people could make mistakes and be forgiven because we're all flawed but this went beyond a certain limit I left her crying on the doorsteps and checked into a hotel the next day I went straight to my parents and told them everything about my wife's affair with Caleb and how they had been sleeping together for years behind our backs the shock on

their faces was evident my mother true to her nature initially tried to defend Caleb telling me that this could not be true since her boy could never do something like this to his own brother determined to expose the truth I requested my parents to remain silent and allow me to call Caleb right in front of them I told them to not make a sound since this is how I could expose Caleb's true colors I wanted him to think that it was just a private conversation between us so that he could hopefully let his guard down

as Caleb picked up I laid it on to him and confronted him with the revelation of his affair with my wife initially he denied it vehemently and refused to accept it then when I told him that Karen had admitted to everything he started to blame Karen labeling her as characterless he told me that it was not his fault if women were attracted to him and that he was the better-looking brother I told him firmly that I was going to expose him in front of everyone when Caleb mocked that no one would believe me and that

he was The Golden Child anyway I scoffed at his arrogance and thanked him for confirming the truth since our parents had heard everything Caleb went quiet and then spluttered to explain himself stumbling over his words in an attempt to salvage His Image my mother still grappling with a shock demanded an explanation from Caleb he stuttered through a feeble attempt to justify his actions blaming everyone else but himself and desperately trying to shift the blame onto Karen I could see my mother who was once protect Ive of her favored son now felt a mix of disappointment

and anger in that charged moment I felt a strange sense of vindication for years I had endured Caleb's torment now the truth had come to light and the roles were reversed it was Caleb who stood exposed his actions laid bare for everyone to see as Caleb's words faltered my father usually reserved in his Expressions couldn't contain his disappointment he asked me to pass him the phone and went off on him Caleb he began his tone heavy with disapproval what you've done is not just a betrayal of of your brother but a betrayal of this family

you slept with your brother's wife and continued to sleep even after they got married your actions have consequences and they have irreversibly damage the trust we had in you I raised both of you to Value family loyalty and decency what you've shown today goes against everything I've tried to instill in you he paused letting the weight of his words settle on Caleb's conscience the disregard for your brother's feelings the lack of respect for the sanctity of his marriage it's unacceptable you've not only hurt him but tarnished the bonds that hold us together as a family

I feel like me and your mom are to be blamed for what you have become now and we will no longer let you get away with his behavior anymore starting today I am cutting you off from the college funds that I set up for you you can figure out on your own about your University fees I will also not be funding your lifestyle anymore you think it makes you more of a man to sleep with married women well now let's see what happens to you when you don't have my money to depend on I on

the other hand maintained a composed demeanor throughout all this although I initially wanted to scream at Caleb watching my dad punish him was the ultimate Vindication I had exposed his true nature and it was clear that he had underestimated the consequences my mother Caleb persistent in his protests continued to justify himself but my father swiftly ended the call shutting down Caleb's attempts to explain away his actions my mom came up to me and hugged me it had been a while since we shared such a moment but in that Embrace there was unspoken understanding and support

amid the family turmoil she apologized to me that she had not believed me all this time I felt like my 14-year-old self would never have imagined this moment being Vindicated and embraced by my mother after that my dad helped me find a good lawyer so I could divorce Karen she and her lawyer tried to fight Dirty by asking me for alimony since I earned more than her but luckily her Affair played heavily in my favor we also had a paternity test for my son and it was determined that Caleb was indeed the father of the

child I can't begin to write how painful it was for me to digest this news it was worse than when Karen told me that she had been cheating on me I felt so pissed that my son didn't belong to me however I guess God works in mysterious ways because I decided to stay strong throughout all this Karen begged me that should keep visiting my son since he should not be punished for all this but I just could not bear to see him he reminded me of Caleb and I hated it after my divorce was finalized

and I was finally free I moved into my own bachelor pad it felt surreal living on my own since I had got married so young and never really lived on my own however since I had always been independent I was quick to adapt to my bachelor lifestyle and I honestly loved it two weeks ago my dad called me to let me know that he had been thinking of changing his will since he didn't want to give Caleb anything if there's one thing to know about my dad it is that he is extremely stuck since he

had made up his mind that he wanted nothing to do with Caleb he had kept his word Caleb tried to reach out to our parents and even showed up at their doorstep begging them for forgiveness but he was not even allowed inside my mother who usually caves into Caleb's Tantrums also seems to be done with him although it must be hurting her the most throughout all this Caleb didn't even once send me a text to apologize for what he had done so clearly he didn't even regret it he was just sad about being cut off

from our parents well Dad told me that he would be leaving everything behind to me just to ensure that Caleb doesn't protest later he would be leaving him with only $1 my eyes widened in shock as my dad had worked really hard his whole life including his assets retirement fund and life insurance it would come up to almost $2 million the only clause in his will was that if my dad passed away before my mom she would continue to live in their house even though the ownership would go to my name of course I didn't

mind this since I would want to take care of my mom until her last days I don't know how but Caleb found out about all this and since he can't reach my parents he called me yesterday trying to mend things right between us he told me how he had been having trouble keeping up with college and that after Karen had found out about the paternity of the child she had been pestering him about child support he told me that he had no money and was looking for part-time jobs yet could not find anything he begged

me to talk to our family so we could start fresh since he really needed my help I started to laugh at his face and told him that I was so done with him and that he should have thought about all this before sleeping with my wife and getting her pregnant Caleb started to argue that I was being unfair and that she was to blame also to which I agreed and reminded him how I did divorce her and now she was his responsibility so he should not be calling me complaining about her or her child since

this was the consequences of his own actions kayin started to raise his voice but I cut him off and reminded him that he was no longer the favored child in the family but the black sheep who slept with his own brother's wife Caleb started to cry at this point and told me how everyone had been on him including our grandparents and relatives which was true but this was no longer my concern I told him that we were done and to never call me again since I was no longer his brother since then I been replaying

The Conversation Over and Over In My Head although I hate my brother I had never heard him cry at least not since we grew up I won't won't lie but it did hurt me a bit that he was this helpless so I guess I'm here to ask if I should talk to our parents about him or would I be in a hole if I don't update one hi everyone a lot of you have been asking me as to why I am no longer in contact with my son Henry and some of you have also called

me cruel well I am sorry to say this but I don't feel comfortable raising another man's child this is not a stepson scenario in this case I was led to believe that he was my son and then I discovered that he was in fact my brother's son of course I am hurt and I have cried over it for days but then the reason I don't want any contact with with Henry is because I no longer want Karen in my life if I talk to her child she will find a way to snake her way into

my life again and I need my own space you can call me cruel or selfish but I can't see him ever again or at least until a very long time update two most of you have correctly guessed that it was in fact my mother who told Caleb about my dad changing his will and he called me as a last resort to men things I did confront her in front of my dad and she broke down she told me how I had punished Caleb enough and that he had learned his lesson my dad firmly told my

mother that if she felt what Caleb did was forgivable then he could no longer stay married to her since he could never forgive him for this betrayal his threat seemed to shut my mother up my dad made it clear to her that if she ever talked with Caleb and we found out then she could pack her bags and just leave him like I said my dad is a very stubborn guy hopefully my mother will learn from her mistakes update three I readd it it's been 5 months since my last update my relationship with my parents

has improved in the last couple of months my dad and I go golfing every weekend and he behaves with me more like a buddy than my own father my mother even though she misses Caleb has stayed away from him the last I heard about Caleb was from my cousin who told me how Caleb had been asking everyone for money and in the end had to drop out of college when he could not afford to pay his fees anymore he and Karen are living together and he even has a job as a part-time mechanic apparently I

think they are raising Henry together which is a good thing I guess I never bring up Caleb in my discussion with my parents and neither do they for everyone asking I am doing quite well I was promoted at my job 2 months ago so my salary has improved significantly I haven't been dating anyone since I feel like I still need time and space to heal I've been going for a few therapy classes so I guess we will see how that works out
