[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This happened to my brother.  When the baby was born he looked nothing like our family and we immediately suspected.  Brother was in denial.  About 4 years later he had a DNA test and it was confirmed that it was not his.  She denied- denied- denied and swore it was his.  2nd DNA test.  Not his.  She denied denied denied.. 3rd DNA test-- yes.. 3rd.

[b]Brother loved and raised this boy as his own.[/b][/quote]

Good for him. That's the correct response in this scenario. [/quote]

It has not been easy for him.  It's much much better now but this poster's examples have been true and issues:

[quote]Mom's lie creates some incompatible goals:

1. Make sure the kid is supported & is not punished for mom's behavior.

2. Do not reward (and preferably punish) mom for her behavior. (For example, her life should not be financially easier because of her lie.)

3. Preserve the emotional bond between child & non-father.

4. Do not put non-father in a financially worse situation than he would have if mom had been honest.[/quote][/quote]
