He Abandoned His Wife After She Gave Birth to a Black Boy Then DNA Showed Something Horrifying

Published

By

Brandon and Tanya were a white couple who got pregnant shortly after they did, but when Tanya gave birth to a black boy, Brandon angrily abandoned her. Years later, DNA revealed the horrifying truth. Brandon screamed at the top of his lungs, ordering his wife Tanya to get out of his house.

Falling to her knees, she pleaded with tears streaming down her face, asking him to change his mind, but he ignored her. He was determined to throw her out; his mind was made up, and there was no going back.

When Brandon saw that Tanya wasn’t making any move to pack her things, he went to her wardrobe and started throwing out her clothes. He brought out one of her suitcases, popped it on the bed, opened it wide, and started cramming clothes into it. He didn’t stop and paid no heed to her pleas until he was done. Then, he zipped it closed. As he tried to carry it out of the room, Tanya held on to his arm and shook her head. He pushed her roughly, and she fell to the floor, whimpering as her elbow took the brunt of the fall.

Brandon glared down at her. “You’re a cheat, and there’s evidence of your wayward ways,” he yelled at her. He pointed in the direction of another room in the house. “That ugly black child of yours doesn’t belong to me. He cannot possibly be mine. Take him back to where you brought him from.” His eyes blazed with anger as he cut her off when she tried to explain herself. He couldn’t bear to hear another one of her lies.

When she managed to suggest that they should carry out a DNA test to prove her innocence and that the baby was actually his, he scolded her. He shut her up and said that there was no point in wasting time and money on a

test that wouldn’t change anything. Tanya insisted that it would because she knew Brandon was her baby’s father. In response, he snorted mockingly.

Brandon called an Uber, and soon enough, the car arrived. Tanya was forced to take her leave with her 3-month-old baby. Brandon looked upon their departure with pleasure and smirked. Just before the Uber zoomed off, he leaned into the window of the car and said, loud enough for the driver to hear, that he never wanted to see Tanya and her ugly child ever again.

Deeply hurt and wounded by the venom in his voice and the malice in his eyes, Tanya closed her eyes as the car drove away from a home she had expected to raise a loving family in. How had she missed it? Where had she gone wrong? She struggled with these questions, but no answers were forthcoming. She could only walk down memory lane.

When she had started dating Brandon over two years ago, he had been barely getting by. He had been settling college debt and working multiple part-time jobs to make ends meet. However, what she loved about him was his willingness to care for her and put her first. They had been happy together and had tried to make the most of what they had.

Two months before their wedding, Brandon had lost the job that paid him the most money. Tanya hadn’t been deterred by this one bit. She had gone ahead to marry him and became the breadwinner. For many months, they had tried to stay positive and cope with the situation, but it had spiraled out of control. Tanya had gotten demoted at work because her performance had dropped due to challenges she had been facing in her personal life. She had been finding it difficult to concentrate at work.

One night, Brandon had come home excited. He had run into an old friend he claimed was capable of changing their entire lives. The friend would be coming over the following evening, so Brandon had asked Tanya to prepare a nice meal and buy lots of alcohol. Tanya had done as he had instructed, and the friend’s visit had been a mini party.

The three of them danced and had fun. True to Brandon’s words, that friend had changed their lives. After that night, Brandon had been offered a job at a fancy company, a car, and a three-bedroom apartment with the annual rent already paid off. Their situation had changed so drastically that they had been overwhelmed with joy. Their joy had multiplied when Tanya discovered she was pregnant.

Months into the pregnancy, Brandon had asked Tanya to quit working. Her workplace hadn’t been paying much, and the stress of the job had been high. Tanya had agreed to quit, seeing as Brandon could comfortably take care of them. She had been glad that she was now living the life she had so much desired. However, that seemingly perfect life had come tumbling down like a house of cards on the day she gave birth. It had made no sense to her that her baby was darker than her and her husband, but she hadn’t made an issue of it. This was her baby, and no matter the color, she was going to love him. Unfortunately, Brandon hadn’t seen things the same way.

The Uber dropped Tanya off at her friend’s apartment. Her friend, Sarah, was the only one she could call on such short notice. Tanya’s heart was heavy, and the world around her looked as if it had lost its color. She didn’t know the next direction her life would take, and she honestly didn’t think about it. Everything felt hopeless, and all she did for many days was cry and mope around.

A week later, Tanya was sitting in the corner of the house, blindly staring at the wall as misery engulfed her. Her friend wasn’t home; she had gone to work. So Tanya and her baby, Jordan, were home alone. Jordan was crying, but Tanya didn’t hear. He cried for a long time, but Tanya’s complete attention was fixated on her woes.

Then her phone vibrated beside her, scaring the living daylights out of her. It was Sarah. A worried neighbor had called to tell her that a baby’s cries had been coming insistently from her apartment. That instantly snapped Tanya out of her thoughts. She thanked her friend, ended the call, and rushed to where her son was lying in the bedroom. His face was red from crying, and he looked dejected as if he was a poor orphan baby. Tanya carried him and rocked him until his cries abated. Then she fed him with some breast milk. After he had his fill, baby Jordan slept off peacefully.

Carefully, Tanya put him down to sleep and watched him for a while. Tears filled her eyes because, for the first time since the day she brought him into this world, she took a good look at her baby and saw he was handsome and shared a striking resemblance to her. She had been too distracted and blinded by Brandon’s rejection, and Jordan had suffered for it. She got on her knees and apologized to her baby. She promised to be a good mother and that they would be okay.

A few days later, Tanya started hunting for a job. She went to some nearby places to inquire, but once she told them that she was a new mother, they refused to hire her. They believed that a baby would hinder her work. It was frustrating. Tanya didn’t have a lot of savings, and if she didn’t find a job fast, she would be in a fix. Left with no other option, Tanya called her friends and family to ask if they could recommend her for any jobs. She explained to them that she was in a tight financial spot and needed their help. Unfortunately, none of them could offer any tangible solution. They were sympathetic and offered words of comfort, but that was it.

The following day, Tanya went to visit her elder sister. She told her everything that had happened, and her sister listened attentively. When she was done, her sister suggested that she give Jordan up for adoption since his presence in her life was causing such a ruckus. Her husband had abandoned her, and she couldn’t find a job. Tanya rejected the suggestion and called it ridiculous. She couldn’t blame an innocent baby for the troubles she was facing. Jordan wasn’t to blame for Brandon’s trust issues, his unreasonable actions, and people’s prejudice that a mother with a baby wouldn’t be a good worker. As far as Tanya was concerned, Jordan was not leaving her side.

Fortunately for Tanya, a bakery hired her a few days later. With the pay, she was able to afford a small, decent apartment and moved in there with Jordan. While she worked, a neighbor, an old lady who had grown fond of Jordan, watched over him. When Tanya wasn’t working, she spent a lot of time with Jordan. They played with his toys, and she would also take him in a stroller to parks for walks and fresh air. Jordan was a happy baby, and anyone could see that he was fond of his mother.

Meanwhile, Tanya was talented in baking and often came up with new recipes or ways to improve their baked goods. The owner of the bakery noticed Tanya’s talents and recommended she partake in a baking competition on TV. She was nervous, but he assured her that she would do very well. It was as if the words of Tanya’s employer were prophecy. On the baking show, she was among the three most popular contestants and won many rounds of the competition. With each round she won, more people followed her accounts on social media and cheered her on. Also, winning a round was rewarded with monetary gifts and brand ambassador deals.

Brandon happened to see an episode of the baking competition on TV, and he was stunned. Baking was something Tanya had always been good at, but she had never considered doing it for a living. He felt proud and jealous of her at the same time. It had been over a year since he had abandoned her and her baby. He didn’t feel remorseful for what he did; he expected that Tanya’s luck would run out soon and she would start suffering for her sins against him.

A few months later, the company that Brandon worked for was downsizing, and they let go of a lot of their employees. Brandon was

one of the affected employees. He was laid off with a severance pay that he considered a pittance. Instead of putting the money to good use, Brandon spent it all on alcohol, women, and partying. Then he fell on hard times, and for a while, things were tough for him.

One day, he was scrolling through social media and saw that Tanya had half a million followers and many brand ambassadorship deals. She was even in talks with a streaming network to have her own baking show. Brandon saw that she was doing well, and an idea hit him. What if he forgave her, or pretended to anyway? What if he took her back? Tanya was kind-hearted and would take him back if he appeared remorseful. Also, their divorce hadn’t been finalized; they were just separated.

Around the time that Brandon was cooking up these plans, Jordan fell extremely ill. It started with him feeling tired and weak. He was unable to play like he used to, and he slept often. Then his stomach started hurting him, he vomited often, and he started losing weight. Tanya was alarmed; she was scared that something might happen to her baby.

She rushed Jordan to the hospital. There, she met a pediatrician, Dr. Lee. He was a young, handsome man and was very kind to her and Jordan. When he was taking the patient’s information, he inquired about Jordan’s father. Tanya replied that he was no longer in the picture, and she briefly explained that Jordan’s father had walked out on them shortly after birth. Lee nodded in understanding and continued with his examination of the child.

Jordan was admitted to the hospital, and his symptoms were carefully managed. It was a children’s hospital, so it was colorful and bright. Jordan liked it, and Tanya hoped the positive environment would help him recover quickly. Over the next few days, Tanya and Lee became friends. He was a nice person and easy to talk to. He told her that the reason why he could relate to Jordan’s plight was because he had also been abandoned by his father, but he had a wonderful mother who had raised him with all the affection in the world, the way Tanya was doing for Jordan.

As days rolled by, Jordan’s condition sadly worsened instead of improving. His abdomen, legs, and ankles became swollen, the color of his stool became gray, and his urine turned dark. He seemed disoriented as well. When Tanya saw this, she was stricken with anxiety. She told Lee that if anything happened to Jordan, her life would be over.

Jordan’s presence held her together, and he was her sunshine. It was in this same conversation that Tanya confided in Lee that her husband abandoned them because of Jordan’s dark skin. Lee was moved by everything Tanya shared with him, and he resolved that he wouldn’t let anything happen to Jordan. It was for this reason that he ran more series of tests, determined to get to the root of Jordan’s illness. While he was at it, Lee asked Tanya for any sample from Brandon that could be used for a DNA test. He wanted to run a DNA test since Brandon had refused to get one. Fortunately, she still had an old toothbrush of his.

A few days later, the test results were ready, and the DNA results revealed something horrifying. Brandon wasn’t Jordan’s father. Tanya was shocked to her bones. She couldn’t believe it. Brandon was the only man she’d been with for over three years. She was still reeling from the shock of this unexpected news when worse news was delivered: Jordan was suffering from liver failure and urgently needed a transplant. Tanya didn’t know what to do. She was confused, frustrated, and depleted of her strength.

It was in that exceedingly dark moment that Brandon showed up at the hospital. Since he had decided to return to her, he’d been stalking her, and it was easy to do since she was fairly famous. Seeing him, Tanya launched to her feet with renewed energy and demanded to know the truth. She expected he knew something because against all logic, he had refused to run a DNA test. Brandon gulped, and then he made a shocking confession.

He knew who Jordan’s father was. It was that old friend he had run into and invited over for a mini party. That same night, the friend had joined Tanya in her bedroom while she was out after being drugged by her husband. The friend, Jules, had promised to change Brandon’s life forever if he would let him have a private moment with his wife.

It was a fantasy Jules had and wanted to fulfill. Brandon had agreed, not realizing that the brief encounter would lead to a pregnancy. When he had laid eyes on Jordan as soon as he was born, he had immediately figured out that the baby belonged to Jules because of his skin color. Jules was a black man. Brandon chose to blame everybody but himself for his choice, even though he had set up the whole thing without his wife knowing. He had hated Tanya for getting pregnant with Jules’s child. He hadn’t been able to live with a constant reminder of his despicable choice and had asked them to leave.

Feeling some remorse for his actions and pity for Tanya, who got caught up in the entire ordeal, Brandon called Jules and told him the truth: that he had a child with Tanya. Jules came over to the hospital in a few hours, and then another DNA test was run to confirm if this was true. The paternity test was a 99.99% match, and Jules was also a match to donate part of his liver to Jordan.

Tanya was grateful that her son would be okay, but she was very angry at Brandon. How dare he put her under such turmoil and suffering for his actions! Jules was angry at Brandon too. He expected that, given the circumstances, Brandon should have come to him with the truth instead of making Tanya bear the brunt of the whole thing. Brandon didn’t have a strong leg to stand on, so he simply consented to the liver transplant, and the surgery was held.

The surgery was a success, and baby Jordan recovered with astonishing speed. Dr. Lee placed him on immunosuppressive medications to ensure his body didn’t reject the new organ, and he was closely monitored. Tanya and Jules were happy and relieved to see the toddler gaining back his agility and liveliness. Meanwhile, Jules had gotten married a few months ago, so he couldn’t offer to marry Tanya to make up for his wrongdoings.

But Tanya would have never wanted that anyway. However, he apologized to her and promised to be a good dad to Jordan, whom he acknowledged as his son. Tanya thanked him for stepping up for her and Jordan, but she was also hurt by his actions. If only he hadn’t used his influential position to spend a night with her, they wouldn’t be in this situation. She appreciated him for agreeing to donate part of his liver to save her son’s life, but she couldn’t let him into her life yet, not even as Jordan’s father. She needed time to heal, and when she did, they would talk. Although hurt, Jules was understanding. It was the price he needed to pay for his wrongdoings.

Dr. Lee and Tanya stayed in touch and occasionally went out on dates, accompanied by Jordan. They were close friends and soon began to develop feelings for each other. However, they were both willing to take their time, considering all Tanya had been through.

A few months later, Tanya was sorting through her mail when she discovered a letter from Brandon. She contemplated whether to read it or not. In the end, she chose not to open it and instead went to her son, who was playing with some building blocks. She whispered in his ear that they would have a great future together.

17 Years Old Slept in His Friend’s House Then He Woke Up to Find Out the Shock of His Life –

Published

on

By

 

Cody Dietz, a teenager from York, Pennsylvania, was your ordinary adolescent. As a 17-year-old, he enjoyed spending time with his peers and attending sleepovers on a regular basis. As it occurred, he’d been living a normal life until something happened one night that altered everything.

Cody’s mother, Bonnie, attempted to contact her son on his cell phone and inquire as to when he expected to return home, but he didn’t answer the call. When he didn’t return her call after a short period of time, she realized that something was seriously wrong. She tried calling him over and over again, but he didn’t pick up the phone. Bonnie began to feel apprehensive…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

 

More information on Cody’s story can be seen in the following video. Cody’s father’s phone finally rang, but it wasn’t Cody who was on the other end of the line. Cody’s companion informed them that Cody was unable to stand and was murmuring unintelligibly at the time of the incident. While he was holding the phone up to Cody’s mouth, all his father could hear was gurgling noises on the other end of it.

Cody’s parents were aware that something was badly wrong, and an ambulance was dispatched immediately. When the paramedics arrived, they initially thought Cody had suffered a stroke. However, he was later proved incorrect. He was flown to the nearest hospital in a rescue chopper as soon as they discovered him, and it was then that their fears were confirmed.

Dr. Ray Reischwein, the hospital’s neurologist, expressed considerable concern about Cody’s condition, saying, “The timeliness of the diagnosis is critical. Many of the therapies produce the best results when they’re completed within six hours.” Cody’s delay in receiving a diagnosis was approximately 12 hours.

In severe condition, Cody was sent to an MRI scan, which revealed that he had suffered a stroke on the left side of his brain. He only had a 20% chance of surviving the situation because of the amount of time that had gone between Cody’s stroke and his arrival at the hospital. Physicians were forced to undertake a difficult surgery that included the removal of the top of his skull in order to relieve the pressure on his brain. They would also reduce Cody’s body to 33 degrees Celsius or 91 degrees Fahrenheit, which is a process that’s commonly utilized on patients having open heart surgery and brain surgery. The cooling of the body minimizes the amount of oxygen consumed by the brain, preventing brain cells from being killed.

Cody spent three weeks in an induced coma following the procedure, during which time his parents feared for his life. During Bonnie’s time spent by her son’s bedside, trying not to lose hope, she recalled that Cody displayed signs of illness a week before suffering a stroke. He’d spoken slowly and garbled his words, and she’d seen that his limbs were twitching constantly throughout the conversation. The reason for this odd behavior had now been identified.

When Cody was brought out of his coma by physicians, the magnitude of the damage caused by the stroke was immediately apparent. The right side of his body was paralyzed, and he was unable to speak or write anymore. Doctors informed the family that their son’s rehabilitation would take a long time, and that they could not expect him to make a full recovery.

After a few weeks, Cody astonished everyone by regaining his ability to talk, and after two years of hard rehabilitation, he was back to his previous level of fitness. Following his horrific experience, Cody’s dedicated himself to educating other teenagers and their parents about the symptoms that can indicate the onset of a forthcoming stroke. “I wish I’d gone to the doctor sooner, but who knows what could have happened,” Cody said.

It’s also his mother, Bonnie, who’s been working tirelessly to raise awareness about the hazards and symptoms to watch out for. These include a feeling of faintness, facial paralysis, slurred speech, and eyesight issues. “My suggestion to parents is to not overlook any signals that their child may be experiencing,” Bonnie cautioned. “The most significant issue with strokes is that they’re extremely difficult for people to notice. It’s common for people to believe that strokes only occur in older people and to disregard the symptoms when they manifest themselves in younger adults and youngsters.”

The unfortunate irony of this is that doctors have actually detected a rise in the number of stroke cases among teenagers and children, and they believe this is due to an increase in the number of people living unhealthy lives. The fact is that many teenagers smoke, drink, and do drugs in the mistaken belief that they’re immortal. Unfortunately, many of them learn the hard way that they’re not, in fact, immortal.

Hopefully, by raising awareness among youth and their parents about the dangers of stroke and learning to recognize the signs and symptoms, strokes can be avoided or, at the very least, dealt with before it’s too late. The onset of a stroke can occur at any stage.

When Cody Dietz failed to awaken the morning after a party, his pals assumed he was suffering from a hangover and allowed him to sleep. They had no idea that their 17-year-old friend had suffered a stroke that may have resulted in his death, but it happened. The father of his friend contacted me and said, “Your son is stumbling around. Can I call 9-1-1?” Cody’s mother, Bonnie Dietz, recalled the events of July 30th, 2008, when Cody was killed. She explained that the boys had been drinking at another location the night before and had gone to his friend’s house thereafter.

A CAT scan performed at York Hospital’s emergency department revealed that her son had suffered a major left brain stroke. He was airlifted to Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center by Life Lion helicopter, whereas neurologist Dr. Ray Reichwein had no time to waste in making critical decisions on his behalf. “The diagnosis must be made within a specific time frame. Many of the treatments are most effective when administered within six hours. Cody’s delay in diagnosis was close to 12 hours,” said Reichwein, who was unable to administer some of the conventional treatments due to the delay in diagnosis.

Cody’s friend’s lack of knowledge is not uncommon. Most adults, let alone teenagers, are unaware that a teenager can suffer a stroke, according to medical professionals. According to the National Center for Health Statistics, stroke is one of the top 10 causes of mortality among children, and the number of children who die from it is increasing.

Reichwein, head of Hershey’s Stroke Program, said that over the past several years, the usual risk factors—things like obesity, hypertension, high cholesterol, type 2 diabetes, smoking, and a more sedentary lifestyle—have become more prevalent in children. Those risk factors are associated with a considerable increase in the rise of a stroke. To make matters worse, most teenagers are unaware of their risk factors, and they’re unaware that certain lifestyle choices, such as smoking, drinking alcohol, using marijuana, or taking birth control pills, can put them at even greater risk of having a stroke, according to Kathy Morrison, manager of Hershey’s Stroke Program.

“Most teenagers are unaware of their risk factors,” she said. “Because teenagers believe they’re indestructible and believe that stroke is mainly a problem for old people, adolescent stroke isn’t even on their radar screen,” according to Morrison, who’s in charge of Hershey’s School Age Stroke Awareness Program.

When Cody’s story is told to kids, they’re very taken aback, she says. “It doesn’t get much more dramatic than this for him.” Cody was suffering from severe brain swelling, and there was nowhere for it to go. In the absence of further intervention, his type of stroke carries an 80% mortality risk, and his was likely close to 100%, said Reichwein, who removed part of Cody’s skull and extended the lining over the surface of the brain to reduce swelling.

Cody was next subjected to therapeutic hypothermia, in which his body was cooled to 33 degrees in order to aid in the survival of injured brain cells and the reduction of edema. After several days, the swelling had subsided to a minor degree. In spite of this, his mother stated, “We weren’t sure whether he would make it for another three weeks. We had a large number of people praying for him. His presence here, I believe, is solely due to the grace of God.”

In the wake of the stroke on his left brain side, Reichwein explained that his speech and understanding were impaired, as was his ability to use his right side and dominant hand. “We have such a positive outcome given the extent of his brain injuries. It’s nothing short of a miracle. I’m not the only one working here. There’s another women in their 20s and 30s who were on the birth control pill are among the young stroke victims seen by Robin Petras, executive and program director at the Central Pennsylvania Aphasia Center in Danville, who says she encounters a significant number of young stroke victims. Taking contraceptives has been linked to a higher risk of stroke than other health risks, in her opinion.

“When someone is young, they don’t necessarily identify the signs of a stroke, especially if they come and go,” according to Reichwein. It’s critical that people understand that strokes may occur at any age and they’re aware of these signs and symptoms, and that they do not disregard them because “time is brain,” as the saying goes.

One of the most common symptoms is a rapid onset of weakness, usually on one side of the body, such as facial drooping or arm weakness. Other symptoms include speech or language difficulties, visual loss or double vision, and a lack of coordination, according to him. A severe headache accompanied by neck stiffness could be an indication of an aneurysm. Heart attacks and strokes are similar in that both include vascular events, but a stroke is different in that it affects the brain rather than the heart, according to Morrison. Because stroke is not painful, people may choose to wait for the symptoms to subside, but this is the worst thing they can do.

Stroke may be prevented in 80% of cases if risk factors are controlled, according to Morrison, who believes that education is extremely crucial. Cody, now 21 years old, and his mother, who live in Lower Windsor Township, York County, share their experience with new workers at the medical center and at hospital grand rounds. Their story is also featured in a movie that’s presented at school in health fair presentations across the country.

“Don’t disregard any signals your youngster may have,” Bonnie Dietz advises parents. “This could be a TIA or mini-stroke,” according to Reichwein. Ignoring a TIA for three months increases the risk of stroke by 20%, according to Reichwein. Cody had multiple variables that put him at risk for a stroke while not having obvious warning signs. A pinhole in his heart and a genetic clotting issue were all hidden from him. He also drank that day during the party. “I wish I’d seen a doctor before my stroke, but who knows?”

Cody had to relearn everything from walking and talking to eating and writing throughout his five-week hospital stay and three-week rehabilitation stay. He still has three weekly sessions of PT, OT, vision, and aqua. Cody struggles to express himself, frustrate him every day, but he remains optimistic that he being present was a plus. His mom is always supportive.

“What has God promised you?” I constantly ask Cody. “Absolutely,” Cody said. “It’s happening.” Thanks for watching.
