Am I Right for Not Letting My Parents into My Son’s Life?

A Reddit user faced family turmoil when he married a waitress named Sonya against his parents’ wishes. Disapproval stemmed from his parents’ belief that Sonya was using him for her American dream. The couple secretly married, and two years later, Sonya gave birth to a son. The user’s parents, initially estranged, suddenly wanted to visit their grandson. However, the situation escalated when the mother admitted to secretly conducting a DNA test on the child, suspecting infidelity. Disturbed, the user barred his parents from visiting. Sonya, hurt by the betrayal, insisted on keeping the grandparents away from their son, and Reddit supported the user’s decision, labeling the parents as “toxic.”
