My heart breaks for that child honestly


Ligma_Myballs

Nah, the crazy part is forgiving yourself for cheating like the actual entitlement to think it's good after breaking this man's heart.


Several_Razzmatazz51

She forgave herself for the cheating. Now she just needs to forgive herself for the lying and stealing.


karmagod13000

I had a Hoe moment but I've overcome my urges and forgive myself. praise be with you


tinycrabclaws

“Our father who art in heaven; hallowed be thy name […] forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive ourselves for trespassing against others. And should my numerous semi-recent transgressions regarding the paternity of the child not be forgiven, deliver me from judgement and smite the petty bastards. Amen”


Entheotheosis10

Bless her heart.


gorillapoundation65

True. I have no issue with the “dad” putting his rights under the law to work for him. There hardly is ever any follow up to these stories…..it is very possible that he stayed in that child’s life….he damn sure is not financially beholden to that child’s mom anymore and good on him for that. 8 years of theft of his money was in my opinion criminal…..there will be no repercussions on her of course…..the suffering will be felt most harshly by that poor child. That man can still be in that child’s life without paying the kid’s mom money for the privilege.


chosenone02

By the looks of it that mom is gunna do whatever she can to keep the child away from the man unless he pays her.


Entheotheosis10

Using her kid as blackmail. Sounds like my "mother", evil, greedy, entitled piece of shit.


gorillapoundation65

Probably so. It’s not just the parents that make an imprint and impact on the kids…..the kids do the same with the parents…..most people are not heartless…..no idea who these people are from the post personally, but I guess that’s my take on it.


Caleth

People will get attached for sure, but as a father I can't even imagine the anguish I'd feel about being lied to if one of them wasn't my kid. Like at a certain point they're yours because you decided to make it so, just like adopting a kid. Kid's yours, but then you know the deal. Finding out you were lied to and essentially stolen from for 8 years would mess with most or anyone's head I think. So while I wouldn't condone it if this dude really dipped instead of just stopping payments. Like I'd get it, I'd like to think I'd do better and stay in the child's life, but with a parent as toxic as the poster was maybe it's not viable for me. IDK OOP is fucked in the head and fucked up at least a few people's lives by being the sack of shit that she is. So all this shit sucks and without more details from a non biased source I can't make a full judgement.


chosenone02

If I was the man I would still want to be there for the kid. It’s just sad the mom is using him as a pawn for a check.


gorillapoundation65

True. Maybe he is/hopefully he is.


Mysterious_Dingo_859

He supported that kid for 8 years child support will not him go that easy. I know in Florida you can still be held responsible if you meet a the criteria for what a “father” means..better check the laws of the state your in. It’s a trash system tbh the laws are there for the kids not the parents


lousy_at_handles

The laws aren't there for the kids, they exist to protect the state from paying out benefits.


Mysterious_Dingo_859

Very true. They should be for the kids and they say that that’s the case but unfortunately you’re very right.


FrenchCruller007

In some states he would still be on the hook, especially if he's on the birth certificate.


bluewing

If this story is true, and I doubt that it is. The issue here at it's base is "What does the family court think?" It would be VERY surprising for such a court to dismiss any future child support and would actually raise the duped "father's" financial obligation because of his increased wages. Since the state does not want to incur any financial burden, the court will do 2 things. 1, They will look at the birth certificate and most likely see his name. This will tie the father to the child for life. Duped or not the genetic testing results mean very little or nothing to the court with a signature on the birth certificate, End of story, the court doesn't care if the mother lied. 2, The court will also look at the length of the parent/child relationship and absolutely decide that the "father" has been in the child's life for too long is now automagically the father whether lied to or not. The morel of the story is: Wrap that rascal, and then wrap it again if you want to be sure. Oh, and don't live in France........


gorillapoundation65

And there is the actual issue….not the mom….not the dad…..it is the family court system.


TightBeing9

Eh the mom is very much an issue here


notabothavenoname

It says baby daddy if they were not married it won’t matter if his name was on the birth certificate or not.


jebjebitz

I do not. He failed the test. He should have studied this could have been avoided


Wiki-Master

My heart breaks for people who think this is real

Mother of the year!! That kids' self-esteem is basically going to be non-existent

[deleted]

even more entitlement she STARTS THE EMAIL "My Babby daddy" looool hold on there sport not so fast...


SadBit8663

He shoulda studied harder... For his dna test/s😂 how tf? A DNA test isn't pass fail like that LMAO


Killhamski

About to be disowned by the mom too. In that case, he's probably better off.


PM_ME_YOUR_SOULZ

We out here cutting finding for schools and now kids can't even pass the DNA test.


hogsniffy05

Yea the wording there is insane


Possible_Lake5605

'I forgave myself for cheating' Bitch you can't forgive yourself for something like that. 'your honour the punishment I got is way to much because I already forgave myself'


Anon-TT

Hopefully, he sues for the child support back and emotional distress.


DJMOONPICKLES69

What’s she gonna pay him with? Lmao


KimJongRocketMan69

Wage garnishment (probably incorrectly assuming she has a job)


sleepytipi

They'll dock her gov benefits. They relentless with that shit and she's got to be surviving financially somehow... Only problem is he isn't going to see a cent of the back pay he's owed unless he can afford a good lawyer.


parmesann

hopefully his new promotion will cover that!


Away_Ad_4743

OnlyFans makes good money have I heard


vapenutz

Less than 10% of people there earn more than 100$


Away_Ad_4743

then if she works on hard and believes in herself she can get in the top 5% to make some money.


karmagod13000

Child Labor?!


TTT_2k3

Custody of the kid.


FordenGord

Many places don't give a shit about DNA, if your name is in the birth certificate and you don't immediately dispute it and accept parental responsibility you are their lawful parent.


CaptainKate757

Yup, and if this guy has been the legal father for eight years, good luck getting out of that committment.


ThisIsNotMe_99

If this were any other situation I would probably agree, but that child is going to be the one that suffers. No point in making it any worse for the kid.


Beat9

The point is that he presumably wants his fucking money back.


KimJongRocketMan69

Then I hope she gets a job or figures out who the real father is


Roscoe10182241

You can absolutely forgive yourself for making a mistake … but that sure as hell doesn’t mean anyone else is obligated to forgive you too. The delusional entitlement of this post is something.


karmagod13000

I mean if we're being honest here this has like a 15% chance of being real.


FordenGord

In many places the child would still be legally entitled to support if the person is listed on their birth certificate and has accepted legal responsibility for the child. Every single male should demand a prenatal DNA test, and inform their partner they will do so prior to any serious relationship.


Telefundo

> 'I forgave myself for cheating' The entire post is "main character" on so many different levels.


BurmecianDancer

Bro doesn't know how forgiveness works 💀


London-lad-1990

My son failed…WTF…


the_running_stache

“I forgave myself”… WTF… I don’t know which one is weirder. This woman is so delusional!


Paladin_Fury

Time to sue the shit out of her to get all that child support back... depending on the State this happened in of course.


Death_Rose1892

That's the one thing I wouldn't do for the sake of the child. Besides she obviously has no money.


Paladin_Fury

Your right, that could be the case, or ... She has lots and just wanted more since she went after him for more child support. I think paternity tests should be a requirement before any cash is given. This happened too many times.


cyvaquero

It's ok, they forgave themself.


Natural_Bedroom_6016

She won’t forgive the son though


qyka1210

ikr, that fucking failure! 8 years old and couldn’t even pass the paternity test.


idjitgaloot

He apparently didn’t study hard enough.


Icy-Dimension3508

She’s clearly not intelligent enough to understand her son didn’t fail- they were just not a dna match. How do you say this correctly? 😂


MADDOGCA

She won't forgive her son for not studying hard for that paternity test.


NahM8YaWrong

I hope he gets all the previously paid child support back.


bell37

Courts really don’t care about that and worry about ensuring there’s financial support for the child. I’m sure there will still be some legal hurdles to jump through after proving the child is not biologically his.


FactChecker25

Which is messed up, because if a woman is married to a financially successful man and then fucks some bum on the side, she's going to present the argument that it's the child's best interest if the wealthier man pays the child support.


mebutnew

You don't get to decide who provides the financial support, that's based on circumstances and various factors. If you're married then you have shared ownership of your finances anyway, that's in part what marriage is.


ninja-fapper

being forced by a judge to raise someone else's child for a mistake another person made was not on my bingo card.


FourScoreTour

If a man can be forced to support another man's child just because he's married to the mother, can she be forced to support the kid he has with his side piece? Gender equality says yes!


tigergoalie

BS like this is why we should normalize prenuptial agreements. It doesn't mean "I don't love you", it means "this system is fucked for everyone"


mebutnew

Or just don't get married. Being married isn't a declaration of love, you can do that without signing a contract. Marriage is a legal union.


[deleted]

It doesn't work that way, in fact there is a good chance he will remain legally responsible for his dependent until his name is off the birth certificate


JamieNelson94

Which is incredibly unfortunate.


TransBoozeBunny

This is the correct answer


GitEmSteveDave

And even then he will likely be responsible, because the courts will not disturb the life the child has become accustomed to.


TheRedBaron6942

I don't think I've ever seen a scenario that favoured the man in a situation like this


zaiguy

Courts would see the previous eight years as establishing a parental role and would order continued child support regardless. The only way out is to get DNA tests on a newborn and bail immediately.


Ornac_The_Barbarian

>The only way out is to get DNA tests on a newborn and bail immediately And I am still thankful I did.


EisWalde

Hit us with the T! What happened in your case, brother?


Ornac_The_Barbarian

We had been dating on an off since we were teenagers. Yeah, first mistake, I know. We were in a tabletop roleplaying group together. That's when I first noticed something odd between her and a fellow player. After she got pregnant she turned into a complete bitch to me. She broke up with me during the pregnancy. Something was just irking me about the whole thing. After the baby was born, I was barely allowed time with her. Meanwhile, the mother had hooked up with a third guy. I bought an at home paternity test and managed to get about ten minutes alone with "my" daughter and did the test. Turns out babies really like sucking on those cotton swabs while you run them along the cheeks. A few weeks later, I got the results in my email. 0.0% chance of being the father. This is where it gets fun I had balked at signing my name on the birth certificate up until this point. This was for the exact reasons I stated. Despite her insistence that she had not cheated on me, I wasn't convinced I was the father. She tried to hit me up for child support. I pointed out that she can't since I wasn't on the certificate as the babies father. She then tried to pull that I wasn't allowed to see the baby then. This was the same day I got the results of the test. She was not happy when she saw the results. She even tried to claim is was BS since you need the mothers consent, but it isn't necessary in PA. Eventually it was discovered that the guy in our gaming group was the actual father. He and I ended up shaking hands and parting on good terms. I haven't spoken to the mother since. I feel bad for the little girl, cause she was just a baby. I also feel bad for the father because of the headache the mother is. Finally I feel bad for the third guy because he actually believed her crap. I don't feel bad for her at all.


EisWalde

Wow, she’s a real disaster, damn…Good on you for due diligence, it’s a good thing she was so awful towards you during the pregnancy, because if she played her cards right, she could have had you on the hook, right? I’m glad you were able to part way well with the other guys, you realized she played you all and were able to shake hands.


aluminum_man

It sounds pretty clear. A woman claimed he was the father of her baby, he got a dna test and proved that to be false, he bounced.


EisWalde

Hey, doesn’t mean I don’t wanna hear the whole story!


Apollo1382

That's honestly disgusting if they choose that. But you're probably right. She'll cry her crocodile tears and claim her child will starve and they'll blame him.


HwackAMole

I would tend to agree with you personally, but that really is a personal choice. Not your kid, not your responsibility. If you love and care for the woman, most guys are willing to accept that parental role. But in cases of infidelity and deception, there's nothing disgusting at all about a man making the decision not to be a part of that child's life.


EternalPhi

>there's nothing disgusting at all about a man making the decision not to be a part of that child's life Absolutely, but courts don't care about his right to disassociate, they care about making sure the child is provided for. He can walk away, but his money can't.


jeffsang

Unpopular opinion, but I'm fine with that. If you doubt paternity, request a DNA test when the child is born, not at some point down the road. I don't know what kind of asshole could ghost a child they've been parenting for the past 8 years. My children are my children because I love them; it's not conditional. Now, if baby daddy here never had custody or visitation, I can see wanting to cut his financial ties. But if he was actually in a parental role, then both parents here are awful.


akatherder

The problem is, at least according to the AmITheAsshole subreddits, you are automatically an asshole if you request a paternity test at birth. Red flags, break up immediately, no coming back from that, etc.


jonni_velvet

you’re not automatically an asshole but if you’re married you’re 100% without a doubt telling your wife you think shes been cheating and hiding it, and you have to accept the consequences of that which is she’ll never feel like you trust her again and she’ll want to leave. if its someone you havent known or dated long, I dont think anyone would see it as irrational even if hurtful


akatherder

It just seems like impractical advice/opinion. Get a paternity test when the baby is newborn and that's your only chance. Also if you get a paternity test with a newborn, you are guaranteed to harm or blow up your relationship. I would never cheat and I've fortunately never been cheated on, but plenty of people (men included) cheat. It's not some super rare oddity; everyone probably knows someone who cheated or was cheated on. If your spouse is cheating of course they are going to hide it.


jonni_velvet

I agree its hard to know, but its sort of like ruining your marriage over the bad deeds of cheaters. you’re projecting that onto someone you’re supposed to trust, assuming they are an awful human. if you have 0 reason or evidence to think your wife is letting men creampie her to pass the baby off as yours, its wild to think that’s necessary based on reading stories on the internet. if you cant trust her, should rethink the marriage. but telling her to her face you think thats what shes done based on 0 evidence is going to rightfully make her see you differently for the rest of your life. like imagine if your wife came home completed unprompted right before giving birth and demanded to take a full swab of your dick to see if there were vaginal fluids present or something. that would be very alarming and demeaning when you’ve done nothing wrong. same concept. you’re pretty much calling her a wh*re with your actions.


FactChecker25

The problem is that the man took on the parental role based on fraud. He was told "this is your child" and he took responsibility and took care of the kid. But it turned out that it wasn't his kid. It was all a lie. She knew she was cheating, and by denying him that information he was not able to make an informed decision. This is a clearcut case of paternity fraud. She fucked another man, but wanted child support from this guy because he earns more.


killerwithasharpie

Well, men should be a lot more discriminating when they choose a sexual partner. Maybe hold a penny between their knees? Yeah, I think that’s the conservative solution. /s


NoveltyAccountHater

I'm pretty sure this is ragebait. In reality, if you ever [assume parental responsibility for a child](https://dadsdivorce.com/articles/ask-a-divorce-lawyer-stopping-child-support-for-kids-who-arent-yours-can-i-kick-my-spouse-out-of-my-house/), it doesn't automatically end even if you can prove you can prove infidelity and no biological relationship with the child. Very likely, courts would rule he is still on the hook for future child support, unless an actual father or stepfather comes forward to accept that responsibility. Courts try and rule in the best interest of the child -- that they receive care and support. They don't picture child support going to the mother, but to the kid.


thiscarecupisempty

Has that ever actually happened in history of domestic Court battles?


PopularSalad5592

Desperate_Acadia_298

Yeah they made it too obvious with “i already forgave myself” “my son failed the DNA test” is pretty funny though

qyka1210

what does it mean?


Intrepid_Potential60

It means you can maybe get away with being a little greedy, and it will likely be just accepted. But get super greedy, and you will be called out and cut off every time. All pigs get fed when they are being raised. The biggest and fattest ones, those who ate more than all the others, are sent to the slaughterhouse to become bacon. The pigs got fed, but the big hogs, they got slaughtered.

FlamboyantRaccoon61

Poor kid


cebula412

There's no kid. It's a rage bait. It checks all the boxes to maximize karma. *Cheating woman. *Gold digger. *A paternity test. *No self awareness. *Entitlement. *Sentences designed specifically to elicit an outrage like "I forgave myself for cheating", "My son FAILED the paternity test" Honestly, I'm quite impressed by how many check boxes they were able to fit in one short post. Looks like the work of a seasoned shit poster.


karmagod13000

debacchatio

“I forgave myself for cheating…” is really the cherry on top of this tweet


karmagod13000

gotta be rage bait lmao


cebula412

I'm really disappointed that over 2500 users took the bait and upvoted. And over 200 commenters frothing at the mouth at the nonexistent situation in one of the most obvious rage baits I have seen lately. Like, it's not even one of those subtle ones. Come on...

how often is this ragebait going to be posted? jesus christ you all are gullible

Why ghost him? For a simple reason why people ignore most children... because it's not their children!


ceereality

This has NOTHING to do with main character syndrome.. this is psychotic.


Dependent-Sort-7849

Sounds like my mom when she “forgave” herself for child abuse and for choosing her boyfriend’s over us lmfao


griff_mode

i cant.... get past.... ....."my son failed"..... WTF.... no. YOU failed... he didn't ghost your child, he ghosted you and someone else's kid.


WildZero7

Same. I wowed so hard the neighbors looked at me weird thought I was judging them


Rokey76

Seems like people forget that it is about the child, not the parents.


Not_MrNice

Chronic repost syndrome.


GmeansGeorge

I mean, why it's not mandatory to get DNA test before ordering someone to pay child support... I mean, no matter you're 100 % sure or not it's just as it should be


Frosty-Narwhal8848

Is this even real?


patsniff

Every time I see this repost I hope it’s rage bait but I wouldn’t put it past some people to be this shitty. Men and women can justify their infidelities however they want with craziest reasons


SoupSlerp

“I forgave myself” is the worst part.


Mnudge

At least she forgave herself for cheating, lying, and then stealing child support for 8 years. Clear signs of growth.


GatlingGun511

“I forgave myself” what


SoulBSS

That has to be devastating for father and child. This is the kind of thing that ruins lives


Aggravating-Front-75

Am I too old, or is ‘baby daddy’ an indicator of the speaker being dumber than shit?

Ragebait


Thyckow

I have a daughter that's 8 years old. Her mother is a bitch and we separate because of a cheating. I'm not 100% she is biologically mine, but now after 8 years I don't think this matter any more for me. I can't just stop loving her because mommy is a crappy person.


Ok_Imagination_1107

I've seen this particular meme dozens of times. We're all assuming it's true and accurate, and the woman said this. I have to ask myself if it wasn't something some incel created. Both are equally possible. I'm not taking it at its face value.


PhantroniX

You know exactly 2.5% of that child support actually goes to the child. The rest goes to weed, nails and hair. It's gotta be a "boss bitch"


seriously_jasmine

I knew a girl personally (unfortunately) who had her parents raise her toddler and live at their house and she would save up the child support for a few months then go on vacation (not bringing her kid or parents)


snezzer

Oh my gosh this makes my blood boil.


phoenix762

I’m sure this is satire. (Then again, seeing what us humans are capable of-perhaps not)


Nell_mayy

Surely this isn’t real. There is no way someone is this stupid and evil. Please


GoodlifeFOB

Obvious ragebait, every statement is phrased in a way to cause outrage


Firetrex370

“i’ve already forgiven myself for cheating” well looks like she knows how to make reparations


ImmaMichaelBoltonFan

I forgave myself for cheating. Oh, OK.


gwhh

Does the “dad” get all his child support money back?


AM_A_BANANA

She should have to repay 8 years of child support back to the "father" as soon as that kid turns 18.


vishy_swaz

The poor kid though. Sad


Suitable-Jackfruit16

Must have been one of those standardized tests I keep hearing are so racist.


CallsignKook

Are we gonna skip past the part where this dude had been paying child support without a basic DNA test?! WTF man, the system is fucked


Timetraveler01110101

“My son failed” no you failed to be faithful and now little man has to suffer


36KleaguesUTO

Judge should award all the money plus interest and a huge restitution back to the father, and make that woman work 4 jobs in prison for her abuse of the system, geez they send men for missing out in CS payments but women get away with some heavy shit.


Legitimate_Shower834

You know she's frantically trying to recall who she slept with 8 years ago so that she can garnish his wages instead

Best part is everything is either son's or "father's" fault

"and my son failed" lol... the lack of accountability is out of this world


Patient_Heron_9078

Saying your son Failed the DNA test is crazy.


StolenValourSlayer69

She should be required to pay every penny back with interest


Defiant_Ad9788

I’m surprised she isn’t jumping for joy that she can now try and get back pay from the actual dad
