DNA tests have taken on a whole new dimension in recent years because of websites that can trace anyone’s ancestry…heck, it’s even led to law enforcement finding high-profile criminals who had been roaming around free for decades.
So it’s no wonder that some people aren’t interested in taking DNA tests for one reason or another.
Read on to see if you think this woman is wrong for not wanting to take one and we hope to hear from you in the comments.
AITA for not wanting to take a DNA test?
“My (32F) dad passed away when I was a wee baby.
He was in a car accident with his pregnant female subordinate who was also his longtime mistress. She did survive the crash but lost the baby and ended up in an almost vegetative state. She’s still alive.
My parents had me after 8 years of marriage after dealing with years of infertility. My dad was rich. He came from old money and while married to my mother created his own fortune. My mom came from humble beginnings. They had an arranged marriage.
While they were married my dad was in charge of the finances and when he d**d everything went to my mom. She married my dad’s younger brother a few years later and had my siblings. They are still happily married.
We had a very happy childhood and my grandparents (dad’s parents who have since passed) were very involved. I had an extremely privileged upbringing.
Now here’s where I might be the a**hole…
A girl claiming to be my half sister (my dad’s mistress’ daughter) has contacted me saying that her mom is on her last legs and that she’s trying to get some money for the hospital bills. She is two years older than me and claims that she’s my dad’s daughter and is entitled to my family’s money.
I have refused to take a DNA test. She has now threatened to take me to court. I refuse to meet her or discuss this issue.
Her family is now harrassing me and they tell me that I’m trying to steal her money and that she’s my dad’s first born child. When I told my mom about this, she told me to ignore her and go on with my life.
AITA?”
Here’s what Reddit users had to say about this.
This person said she’s NTA but they think she needs to get in touch with a lawyer instead of ignoring this issue.

And this reader added that she should block these people but keep a record of all communication.

Another Reddit user said she’s NTA and that they wouldn’t take a DNA test but they would get a lawyer to see what their options are.
