I can't believe it. I knew the day was eventually going to come but not this soon.

So here's the deal. When I was about 15-16 years old and still going to high school. One of my friends introduced me with this one chick. She was a bit on the ugly side but man she did have a nice body. Well a week later I was already bored of her and just wanted some nookie. I was trying to play it safe and refused till i had a condem on me. She gives me that old "I"m on birth control" bit. Me being 16 and this being my first time I totally believed her. Next few weeks she tells me she's pregent and asks If i'm going to be there for the kid. Me being 16, was totally stumped. I didn't know what to say to I hesitaited. She then sees that (over the phone) and tells me that she is leaving and I'm not going to have anything to do with it. Thats the last I hear of her.

Fast-Foward 6 years later, she then shows up at my house asking (my brother-in-law)if I want anything to do with the kid because the kid is depressed that her husband had gone to jail for a really bad thing he did (child rapist) to her family and he wasn't he's real father.

So of course I do the right thing and head over there ASAP! I fell in love instantly! 95% of this handsome young boy looks like ME! :D PIC!

Then the drama starts. We get to talking and she says she wants to play it safe and that I should become friends with him first. Understandable, so I agree. Then says she wants to wait at LEAST a year before telling him. I instantly tell her I can't wait that long. That I can't be a part of my sons life with him only knowing me as a friend.

She also said she is planning on moving farther away into the country. She already lives 30 minutes away from me and wants to move 30 more minutes more, that she already had planned it. I tell here that I can't be a weekends dad. I want to see my son everyday. :( Then she tells me she hasn't decided all of this yet for sure because her husband (child rapist) still has a say in this and she hasn't even told him I'm back in my sons life!

Then to top all that off she sending him away with his grandparents for this coming summer ALL SUMMER! I can't even see him this weekend because she's going to be "busy". :( :( :(

I don't know what to do. She's making this very hard on me. I understand I missed 6 years of my kids life. I understand I should've looked for him sooner. I'm very sorry and have been very misserable all those 6 long years (been single ever since). I'm already growing attached to him and I can't wait another minute before telling him that I'm his father and that I'm never going to leave his side ever again! I'm thinking about sucking it all up and obey her every wish. I haven't been there for him so why should she make it easy on me. :(

Thanks for listening...

**CLIFF NOTES**
I get a girl pregnant at 16 she takes him away. She comes back in my life 6 years later so I can be a father to my son but now she's tripping that I won't see him as much as I wanted to and he won't know I'm his father till another year. :(

He's in jail and he's going to get deported when he gets out.

I've thought about taking it to the courts and see If I can get her for rape. I was only 16 and she was 18. Also for the rapist father. She might get me for 6 years of child support. Which she has stated she doesn't want a penny from me.

But we have to think about my son first. Would he want me fighting with his mother over who should get to keep him. I don't want him to have parents that fight 24/7. I grew up with that, I should know.

Now I'm sorry to be the azzhole in this thread... but where the hell have you been for the last 6 years?... you could have been involved all this time... and you can't tell me you havent thought about that child all these years?

Secondly are you telling me this boy was raped by his step father?... You OWE it to this child to make sure he is cared for. The kid is young enough now, that the scars from a custody battle will heal. Get that kid... clearly his mother isnt doing a good job, picking this child rapist for a husband. If you don't get that kid, you are abandoning him, and that would make you a full on, class A, superclass scumbag.

Wow what a lot to take in all at once. Go about finding out what steps you should take and what your rights as the father are. Do what's best for the child.

Its great that you want to be in your son's life, but she's right. You don't just stroll in there after 6 years and say "hey, junior! I'm your dad!'. He needs to get to know you first.

Not to sound like a jerk, but I think I'm stating the obvious when I say that you should have thought of all this when you were 16 and didn't do the right thing and get involved from the start.

Just be persistant but do things at her pace, eventually she will come around. I would also try and have a serious talk with her about her husband and doing something to keep him away from the boy. Get a lawyer and make a couple threats.

Good luck.

Condom. Even if she was on birth control, don't you value your health a bit?

And what about the last 6 years? Ever thought of that? No sympathy for you. Sorry.

Oh, please! Give us a break.
"She was a bit on the ugly side but man she did have a nice body. Well a week later I was already bored of her and just wanted some nookie."

I'm very sorry and have been very misserable all those 6 long years (been single ever since).
But never miserable enough to even TRY to find him.


Have you been tested to see if you actually ARE the father?
Sounds like the child deserves better than he's getting from all parties.

This sounds like resonable advice. Thanks!

So the only father the kid knows is going to jail for child rape, and now you are thinking of trying to have the only mother he knows sent to jail for raping you. All so you, a complete stranger, can have the kid? After being out of his life for so long I think it is wrong for you to assume that you should just be able to take control. Once you start being there for him, then you will have some say to whether he spends the summers with his grandparents or not. Right now, IMO, beggars cant be choosers and if you really want to spend time with your son, you have to work for it. Even if it means driving an extra 30 minutes to see him.

I understand. That's why I've thought letting her call the shots.

In those 6 years I had a lot of growing up to do. I never had a guide to help me make the right decesions or rolemodel.

I understand I must pay for the lost 6 years somehow.
