S30 E2: Who's the father? | Bad Results
I was at my mom's house. And so I'm just eating my broccoli. And I'm like, is this really my life right now? Can I not just have dinner with my family and know who the father is? Like, I already had the baby. I thought we were supposed to figure this out when I was pregnant.

Honestly, I just wanted to enjoy my child. I feel like I was robbed of that. You know, everyone always says, like, that's the most valuable time. Like, soak it all in. I could not soak anything in.

There's no way that this is real. Like, this can't be real. Like, you're in a state of disbelief. Like, are there other people? Am I the only one? Like, was it just me that got messed up? And, you know, there was no way in heck I was gonna let the company just fade from existence in my mind.

I feel like I'm not even living in real life. I feel like every day is a movie. That's just some fucked up nightmare. I don't know how to deal. I could have never imagined in a million years that I would be in this situation. I just wish sometimes I had someone to relate to. But I wish I could sit face to face with someone and have them completely understand my pain.

When I found out there were other people that were affected by the company the way I was, it was relief. And it's not because I want other people to experience what I've experienced, but it's because finally I could talk to somebody and they would be like, yep, I get that. That happened to me too.

One day I want to bring justice to people who experienced the scam by Viaguard Acumetrix. For anyone who used the fucking company, if somebody is losing out on precious time with their kids because they're raising the wrong kids or they don't even get to raise their kids. I'm so mad. I'm so mad. I don't know what to do anymore.

Like, I just don't get it. Like, I can't. I don't know how the people sleep at night. I don't know how they sit there and do their little jobs and answer phone calls from people who do find out and call them and tell them all the time that they have false results. Like, how do you actually sit there and continue to work there?

You ignored my first question. Do you like Putin?

I at the time was pretty mentally unwell. I was very much into partying and seeing random men all of the time.

I told my friend, hey, let's get a pregnancy test because I'm not feeling so well about this. So for some reason, I was too nervous to get it myself. So I asked her to get it for me. So she went to Dollarama and got me a pregnancy test. I watch it slowly move. And then I see one line and then two lines. And then I yell at my friend to come in. But I wasn't panicking. I was in shock.

I just, like, immediately went to him to tell him, because, like, I felt that it was him.

S30 E2: Who's the father? | Bad Results
I had to search paternity tests, but I was like, wait, I'm pregnant. So I had to do research on the difference between prenatal and a paternity test after the child is born. Then I searched prenatal paternity tests near me. And then this Viaguard Acumetrix at 1232 Kingston Road shows up. And I was like, oh, wow, this is really close.

And the hallway outside of this medical office, there was no lights on. So it was a little weird.

I just remember, though, like his hands were really shaky when he was doing it. He was very shaky. It felt really weird.

For some reason I started to feel dizzy. So I think it was just blood and being overwhelmed. So he's like, can you just sit down and I can get you some water if you want and stuff like that. And I was like, yeah. And I think he caught the gist that I was feeling like weird about everything. And he said, don't worry, we'll take care of you.

Just reassuring because I very much show my emotions and I was very much showing my emotions that day. And he reassured me that we'll figure this out and all that kind of stuff.

Why do we have to do that? It's a paternity test. Paternity test.

And then he put it into the envelope. And I remember him saying that he'd trust me to send it out.

It just felt so trashy. Doesn't that sound terrible? I felt trashy.

What I'm feeling at that moment is that I'm irresponsible and immature to put it into the mailbox to send it to a company who's gonna tell me who the father of my child is. It didn't feel very nice. And there's people just catching the bus and I'm putting a box of DNA. It's just weird. It's a weird concept. I had a pit in my stomach. But at the end of the day, my brain kept saying, science?

You know, like, it's obviously legit. It's a DNA company. You know, why would anything go wrong?

The voice on the other end of the call was calm. He's not the dad. And I remember I couldn't breathe. Like, I started crying really hard, but it was like the cry that hasn't come out yet. The phone call ended, and that was just it.

When you're given all of these different avenues where your life could go for your child and you start to almost like visualize what life will be like and now that one's gone. You have to erase that from your mind and now visualize these other lives that you might have.

I was basically begging him to come over and do the test. And I assured him that it would be in my house. We'll both be there and we'll send it out together. So it's like super safe and foolproof. Like there's, why wouldn't you?

So then I texted him and he sent like heart eyes and he was all excited.

S30 E2: Who's the father? | Bad Results
So when my daughter was born, she was given my last name. And the person who Viagard said was the father was upset about that. So he was like, I'm going to do a DNA test because I want her to have my last name. So I want to go change it, basically. So I told him, go ahead. I was very upset because I went through this whole process. Like, it's over now. I don't want to revisit anything.

And it came back like a week, week and a half. And he was told that he wasn't the father. I mean, how do you even react, you know?
