    GIRL! WE KNEW YOUR MOM WAS NOT PERFECT, THATS WHY WE LOVE HER! She was relatable, she was real, she was Not perfect and talked about her mistakes and didn't pretend to be perfect or have a perfect life. We loved her and her kids when she was alive and did ALL that crazy shit, and we still Love her and her kids.

      Agree!! Love Jenni but I dont understand why people think Jenni couldnt make mistakes. I still think Jenni had the wrong idea about Chiquis & Esteban being together. Not just to save her image but Jenni did seem like the type of person who just had a problem admitting she was wrong. Does that make her a bad person NO, that just was the way she was unperfect like all of us.

      @@72Guera Exactly, people forget that she was human. The negative thing that Jenni had was that she didn’t take accountability for all the wrongs she did. I think she was wrong what she did to chiquis, and wrong for not telling jenicka the truth of her parental linage. I think if jenni was still alive she would’ve admitted her faults, tell the truth, and would have healed along way.

    As I’m cooking for my boys I listen to this and I shatter in tears, I’m in the exact situation me as your mom and my 3 yr old as you. I’ve always asked myself if it was the right thing to do to let it be known that the man that was raising my 3 yr old wasn’t the bio dad. Ever since I found out about the dna results I didn’t let it be known until 4 months later I felt like I was drowning in a cup of water knowing about it and not saying anything to anyone until I had enough and I let both families know about the situation after that I felt so relief.

    Thank you for telling your story, as someone who recently experienced a similar situation, I now know my feelings then were completely valid. After 21 years of having my dad and the only person I ever knew, I found out that he wasn’t my biological father. The feelings of being different and questions of why I didn’t look like my siblings were finally answered. It was and still is a rollercoaster of emotions and though I had answers to questions I’ve asked my whole life, I now had more questions of “who I am”, and “where do I come from”. Unfortunately like you I didn’t have my mom to tell me the full story. I later discovered that my biological father didn’t want me and denied my existence before I was even born. Honestly that hurt to hear and was the only time I wished I never knew. I grew angry and sad that he didn’t even try and moved on like nothing happened. With time that anger and saddens turned into being appreciative because had that not happened I wouldn’t have the man I call “dad” today. Coming up on 2 years of finding out I still know nothing about him. One part of me still wonders what he or his family might look like and if I resemble them. Another part of me doesn’t give it a second thought, I don’t care to know. I have my dad, a man that took me in and showed me unconditional love as well as his family that treated me no different. On the hard days I try to remember that, I’m loved by people who chose to be in my life. Though it hasn’t been easy it’s like you said God gives his toughest battles to his strongest soldiers. 💜

      It might’ve not been coincidence, she probably said it based on the ethnicity results if it showed Puerto Rican

    Mi niña, eres Bendecida de saber ahora que tienes dos papas. Juan siempre sera tu padre, pero ahora tienes la oportunidad de conocer a tu otro papa y tener una relacion con el. Tu mami se gano el cariño y el respeto de todos por ser ella misma. Por ser original y no falsa como otras personalidades. Ella fue transparente y no se le condena por querer protejerte, al contarion, se le respeta mas porque confirma una vez mas que su prioridad era y seguiran siendo sus hijos, auqneu fisicamente ella no este. Dios te Bendiga a tus hermanos, sobrinos y a ti. And PLEASE, do not ever judge your mom for loving you so much.

    Oh jenicka I just wanted to give you a big hug. 💖 You are so strong, beautiful inside and out. My dad was out of the picture before I was born and my mom got deported when I was 10. All I can say is when I was smaller I didn’t understand what deportation was and kids would always tell me I had no parents because no one loved me. With that being said when we are little we really don’t know what’s going on and knowing how much your mom loved all of you I’m 100% sure she had a reason. I’m hopeful that you find peace in all of it. I know I’m no one to you but just know everyone is so proud of you mamas 💖 it takes a lot of guts to talk about things a lot of our families tried to hide. Keep it up! 🥰

    I was honest with my child from the very beginning. She's being raised by a loving man as her dad, and her biological wants nothing to do with her, and so far, we been very open about it this topic with her. I didn't want her to not know the truth about herself for being different from her other siblings it was very hard, but she understands now and she's good with the loving dad she has now raising, loving her like his own! Cuddos to those man that does step up to be DADS! Good luck on this new chapter! ❤️

      You are an amazing mom and I wish all mothers will see this. Some mothers are so selfish that lie to their children about their identity. Children need to know the truth. One day they will become adults and they are ones who get hurt not the mother. I just don’t believe there is any justification to lie about this. I applaud you for been an amazing mother and putting your child happiness first.

    Jenika I’m so glad you got this off of your chest!! This doesn’t change the love your mom had for you as a mom I’m sure she was trying to protect you in her own way and as life goes on things start to get more and more complicated and as you said she probably knew at some point she needed to talk to you about it but why add more complications at that time. Stay Awesome & Stay Blessed

Yo le pido a dios que traten todos de volver a tener una bonita relación con la familia de tu mami por favor. Algo que quiero decirte es que para toda historia hay 2 lados y quisiera saber el lado de los hijos de jenni si es possible. Cuídate mija. Te deceo todo lo mejor para ti siempre. ❤️

    I’ve always know from the whispers. It always bothered me but I was forced to be around these certain people who questioned who my father was… I hated it. I never cared for the man but I was always uncomfortable around these people who knew something but not the whole story… my story. When I had my son I need my mom to tell me! I needed to hear it from her. After I forced her to tell me it did feel like a weight lifted of my shoulders and I had closure on the topic. It wasn’t a secret anymore. I understood it was painful for her but I needed to know.

    i feel like your mom did what she thought was best - whether she was right or wrong she had the best intentions . i also think she would have told you when she knew you would understand unfortunately things happen and she didn’t get the time to do so . and anyone that asks why you chose to talk about it needs to know it’s because people judge or assume who you are or what you’re like without knowing what you have been through first hand . best of luck to you beautiful ❤

    I told my son when he was 7/8. And I think it was the best choice. Thankfully, my ex husband and his family never treated him any differently. And to this day, my suegra (ex suegra technically, but she’s stuck with me forever ❤) always says “That’s my grandson. And he will always be.” I was very blessed in that department.
    As for me, my mom always told me. I knew since I can remember. I met him as an adult. I don’t have a relationship with him. My choice. That’s a whole story. Lol
    Anyway….
    You’ll always be his princess. I hope this helps you find yourself. Sending you lots of positive vibes and happy thoughts! ♥️

    But she loved you all.
    I am so glad you were able to come to terms and find you and you are okay. God bless you mama

    Thank you for sharing something so personal. I want to think that she was going to tell you one day but she never had the chance. But kids should hear it from their parent first. I’ve always been honest with my kids and it’s better for them to hear it from me than anyone else. You’re so beautiful inside and out your parents did an amazing job raising you. Blood isn’t always what makes you family. ♥️

    Some of these comments are 🤦🏻‍♀️ .. jenicka you don’t owe an explanation to anyone. Thank you for sharing what you’re comfortable with. Admitting this is hard enough. If you don’t wanna reveal your biological dad, then that’s your decision. People are just nosy. Your mom wasn’t perfect like you said.. she was human. And I’m sure she wanted to tell you, but didn’t know how. I pray for you guys.. because you’ve been through a lot. And still. ❤

    As a mom it hurts, it’s scary! Because the last thing we want to do is hurt our babies, let them down or for them to hate us you know.. but deep down, personally myself I could not keep it a secret forever. I don’t ever want them to resent me for it. We cannot control the outcome but we can let the truth set us free. I told my son last year who was 8 years old. There’s not ever going to be a “right time” to do it but I chose this time being that my son was capable of understanding and express in return how he feels. I have yet to tell his little sister as well that the man who’s raised her since she was 1 is not her biological father but he is their DAD. My kids love this man regardless and I know they will forever love him as he is the only dad they know. It’s not who “made” you but who was always there and raised you ❤ Your mom never wanted to hurt you & the Lord knows she loved you endlessly. I admire your strength and compassion Jenicka. I know your mom and dad are looking down at you, beyond proud!
