I’m 35 and my husband’s 38. This lad is 21.
We’ve been together for 15 years and have a ten-year-old son.
I know it happened before my husband met me and he knew nothing about his child.
But I’m not sure I can accept the boy or how to explain this bombshell to our son.
Am I being unfair saying I don’t want to have anything to do with him?
I think that he will replace our son and my husband will push me aside.

DEIDRE SAYS: Assuming you’ve had a strong marriage until now your fears aren’t rational.
Are they perhaps based on having a sibling you were jealous of when young?
DNA testing is the only way to be sure he is your husband’s son but, if so, I hope you can all welcome him into your lives.
Your son may be pleased to have a half-brother and this young man deserves to have a dad.
You can talk it over with Family Lives (, 0808 800 2222).
