A woman has shared the shocking text message she received from her ex-boyfriend, who she later discovered was also her half-brother.
Victoria Hill had long questioned her identity, starting from a young age when she noticed she bore no physical resemblance to her father. Her curiosity grew, especially after developing a health condition that neither of her parents had.
Wanting to find out more, the 40-year-old from Connecticut, USA, opted to take an at-home DNA test. The results showed she had 23 half-siblings.
Digging deeper, she discovered that her biological father was Dr. Burton Caldwell, her mother’s fertility doctor, who had allegedly used his own sperm for women’s fertility treatments without their consent.
While this revelation was devastating for Victoria and her family, the situation worsened when she confided in her ex-boyfriend and close friend about the incident, leading to another shocking revelation.
Her ex, who is now a close friend, began questioning his own background after realizing his parents had also visited the same fertility clinic. He took a DNA test himself, and his results led to a startling message to Victoria: “You are my sister.”
During an appearance on the UK chat show This Morning, Victoria described the moment they uncovered the grim truth.
“We figured it out during a high school reunion. We started sharing information with close friends, and during a dinner, as I was telling the story, my high school boyfriend, now friend, seemed deep in thought,” she recounted. “His mother had just told him that she had also sought fertility treatment with his father.”
“So we assumed they went to the same clinic.”

Her ex then reached out to his mother, who confirmed that the same doctor had performed the same procedure.
Victoria continued: “Then it was just waiting. We couldn’t believe we were considering this. We joked about it, but it felt surreal.”
“A couple of weeks later, he sent me the screenshot saying you are my sister.”
Naturally, Victoria says she is ‘traumatized’ by the whole experience and now wonders who else might be her sibling.
“It makes me see my entire high school experience differently. It tarnishes everything,” she stated. “To be blunt: I was intimate with my half-brother.”
Victoria confronted Dr. Caldwell, who has since passed away. He admitted his actions and claimed he did so for ‘over 20 years’.
When she asked for his reasoning, he was quite matter-of-fact, explaining: “He said he was in the business of making babies and lacked remorse.”
