10 years of marriage, three children… And one day, everything changes.
Celina and her husband Joseph met at a Halloween party seventeen years earlier. But what they didn’t know was that they shared the same blood ties. Recently, Joseph decided to take a DNA test to find out more about his origins and ancestors. It was then that he learned that his wife was actually his cousin…
“When I realized we were cousins, I had a stomach ache“confided Celina in the columns of Love Don’t Judge. A reality that they had a lot of difficulty digesting… After the revelation of this family secret, the couple wondered if it would not be better to separate.
“I thought we were supposed to divorce.”
“I thought we were supposed to divorce, but then I started to think that for our children, we should stay together,” she finally declared. At the time they got married, they didn’t know the truth about the nature of their bond. Joseph, for his part, refuses to leave his wife. When he swore “till death do us part”, he really meant it.
Joseph and Celina broke the news to their three children. Initially, they were particularly “confused”
et “panicked“but they finally managed to accept it.
They break the news to their children
“It’s a bit normal because they are my parents, and they have been married for a long time”testified their daughter, before giving the floor to their son. “Sometimes, I feel a little weird about thisbecause it’s not something you want to brag about.”he admitted.
For him, if his parents knew before getting married, in this case, it would have been “mal”. But since they both didn’t know it, it’s ultimately not their fault. They couldn’t guess it. When Celina shared her story online, she received a lot of negative comments, saying it was “disturbing” et “mal” for children.
