Question Posted Wednesday February 25 2004, 11:34 am
i was pregnant when i was young and coming from a strict family i concealed it for 7 months, i just couldnt tell my parents, the childs father doesnt know anything about it,as i was so afraid of what my parents would say, however time went on and i had the baby my parents loved their grandchild and all was well, i told my parents the father was a young lad who they didnt know and i didnt want him to know as he wasnt really a father type. but my son is asking questions now hes 10 im with a lovely man who treats my son as his own but my son is asking if hes his real father ive said yes but he looks baffled as ive been with my partner for 4 years, i just really dont know what to tell him for the best
The father of the child should pay for support or something like that. you should of told him, or did he figure it out? he doesn't have to take care of the child, but he is still the father and must take responsibility somehow. but if you want it to leave it like it is, then do so, because things seem to run finely without him.
as for your child, i think you should tell him the truth. maybe not the whole truth in one minute...just a simple "no." if he asks who it is, then just say you'll tell him in a year or so. if you lie bout it, he can find out later on, and could turn out into an angst teen thing, but he knows. if later on he wants to meet his father, you tell him your reasons why not if you don't want him to.
