Wife tricked him into believing kids were his!
A husband has won £25,000 in damages for “bereavement” after his wife tricked him into believing children whom he raised until they were teenagers were his rather than the products of affairs.
Richard Rodwell sued his ex-wife Helen for deceit after finding out the children he thought were his son and daughter both had a different father.
The 46-year-old factory manager said it was “like a bereavement because I have lost the children I believed were mine”.
“I can’t stop thinking about the children as they were my life,” he told the Mail on Sunday.
“I always wanted children and grandchildren and now it’s too late in life for me.”
Mr Rodwell, of Peterborough, helped raise Adam and Laura as his own until his marriage with their mother broke down and the couple divorced in 2004, the newspaper reported.
The couple first met in 1989 when they were both fruit pickers at a factory near King’s Lynn, Norfolk, and married a year later.
But Mr Rodwell said that by 2004 the marriage was struggling, with his then-wife disappearing for several days with no explanation as to where she was going or why.
