Hon...
you better toughen up your heart....step up to the plate and be a Daddy (not just a Father)and fight with all your might, to be a part of that child's life. To hell with the mother, sounds like she is a low-life anyway. Don't let her have full control...she did'nt make that baby herself. You got rights too. My son went thru the same thing...
Your child will thank you someday.flowerforyou

By law she can't keep you from seeing your child. You must take her to court for joint custody though. What happen in the past however, is just that. The law will only protect your future with your child, not your past. Divorced with my kids. I've been in and out of court so..

Hey Sweetie!
Look before you go and believe her on this take a test to prove that it is yours. don't get so up tight about it you dont know for sure yet. It may be hard right now, but just look at it this way you know now and you can get your rights to see that child and there is nothing she can do about it so you won't have to miss out anymore!! GoodLuck Sweetie! I wish you the best!!

Haven't even told my parents yet. But I want you all to know, I will fight tooth and nail for that baby. No matter what happens, I'll endure the pain of not being able to see her every day. But it's difficult to move on, haven't even had a girl since last year when we broke up. Without someone to lean on, this is the hardest thing I've ever had to deal with. But I thank each and every one of you who posed something. You may not know it, but it has helped in its own small way. I only hope that more people jump in to give advice.

Haven't gotten maternity test yet, but that little girl looks just like me and not a thing like her mother. The story goes so much deeper than what I've posted, but I'll spare you all the details. Point is, keeping my only baby secret from me, is a crime. It's these little things in her life that I'll never see again. I can't stop thinking about how tiny she may have been when she came out. I have no idea. I should have been one of the first people to hold her, and this monster has denied me of that.

That Monster bore YOUR ONLY child, hello.
Maybe SHE felt that she gave YOU some HINTS in the past but FELT YOU WANTED NO PART OF A CHILD???
Maybe SHE FELT "YOU" RAN AWAY FROM HER AND LEFT HER PREGNANT??
There are two SIDES to every story.
But from your fisrt post here, NOW YOU SAY YOU'VE seen a picture of her???
She (the mother) had to HAVE a good reason to take on HAVING the BABY, and NOT GIVING THE BABY YOUR LAST NAME?
And to NOT even TELL you??
Unless she has other big ISSUES...
Do the test, and then DO YOUR PART!
YOU CAN'T LIVE ON THE PAST...The child is going forward growing, and YOU NEED to do the SAME!!:heart:

Its been a year, take a week or so to clear your head so you make the right choice. Just remember:
1- Paternity test is essential or you'll always question.
2- Then put your daughters concerns first.
I have a two year old girl and I understand all you have missed hurts but I can assure you it gets even better. Past is over but you can still be happy with your girl. Good luck.

What is best for the child should be in the forefront. A child can never have too many people who love her. Once paternity is established you can be an active part of her life regardless of the mother moving on with her life. It's never too late for a child to know how much she is loved.

If all adults keep the childs best interests first then it will be easy for all involved to have an amicable relationship.

Very well said. Have the paternity test, and then move forward and be a good father to the child. At this point, that's what is important. Best of luck to you!

She's not 2 years old... she's 2 months old. I got to see her for the first time 2 nights ago. You want the full story, here we go. We dated for 8 months, everything was going smooth. After that, I kept hearing that she was cheating. When I confronted her, she admitted that she cheated on me SIX times, and two of them were with my best friend. Loving her, I took her back. 2 months down the road, she treats me like **** and dumps me. Last time we had sex was around the time that we broke up. According to her, she hadn't had sex with anyone else around that time. But yes, I'm still getting a DNA test. I called her back about 2 months later(while she's pregnant without my knowlege), and apologize and try to get her back. She says she still loves me and wants me back. The next day I receive an E-mail saying that the new guy she's head over heals in love with and she lied to me by saying she wanted me back... stab to the heart right there. 4 days ago was the first time I've heard from her since that point.

So, I broke up with my GF bout a year ago. Haven't seen her until about 4 days ago when she told me she had my baby. Not pregnant with, but already had. She never told me she was pregnant, she never told me she was born. I've missed out on seeing my only child born. I missed out on her first Christmas. And on top of all that, she's getting married next month, less than a year after we broke up. The whole situation just tears my heart out. I haven't slept since I found out. If there's anyone out there who's not too shocked to give advice, please.... help me.
oh man so sorry dude, kinda lost for words, but keep yur head up bro.!!!!!!

O.K.! All the details are not listed so:
1.) You are dealing with a lot of issues/emotions at once including the unmentioned ones.
2.) You need to establish if the child is your's, not based on looks but, FACT.
3.) Next, what is done is done...if the child does turn out to be your's you start where you are at because you cannot go back and recapture time.
4.) In the event that she is your, the reality is the ONLY thing that matters is your child having a healthy relationship with both parents. The child needs to know that they are the most important part of the whole situation.
5.) In the event that it is your child, you need to get the support(legal)/counseling that you need to get past what was kept from you so you can be a healthy (mentally) father for your child.
6.) In the event the child is not your's know that MEN are responsible for protecting themselves too. The mother carrys the child in her and the father sees it get here, some times.....

BEST WISHES TO & YOU and THE CHILD are in my prayers

Sorry for your problems, but I think it is time for you to get busy with tough love. Find the truth, before you rip your guts out. Then approach this from a business stand point. Get your LEGAL rights & br there for your child. IF IT IS YOURS.

okay she has admitted cheating in the past.DNA is crucial before you get attached to the baby.
