[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Eh, my DH was duped (years before we met) by his former fiance into thinking a child was his when it actually wasn't. He got a paternity test and left. Granted the child was months old but even if it wasn't, I don't think it's fair to expect saintly acts from mere mortals. I commend women and men who are able to raise other people's children but I do think it should be a choice. When that choice is taken from you in the form of betrayal, there are casualties and unfortunately the biggest casualty is the child but don't demonize the first victim for wanting to know and possibly choosing a chance at an honest relationship without baggage or little reminders of hurt.[/quote]

I find this post so incredibly offensive. A child isn't baggage, or a little reminder of hurt. A child is potentially more important to the world than any of us, dilly dallying on whether to raise them or start "fresh" somewhere else. As adults, [b]cards are dealt to us[/b], men and women, and some of those cards are responsibilities to other human beings, genetically related or no. Unless you're a really important guy in this world, there is no greater sense of purpose and no greater potential to contribute something (someone) great to the world than to embrace your responsibility to parent a child, quest for an honest relationship or not.

Sorry you find it offensive, Your Holiness. I find offensive your insistence on shaming the OP for being ambivalent about raising a child that is (possibly) not his and staying with an unfaithful woman.
