Wow, that was cold.

What you're describing is a different situation. What you're talking about is a situation where the man was her father, even if she wasn't his 'biological' daughter. If you willingly assume the role of parent that makes things different than if an ex is trying to hang a support payment on you for a child that's not yours that you don't have a relationship with.

I know a guy who has two children. He’s sure the first is his (looks like him). He found out later his wife screwed around on him his entire marriage, always had serious doubts the girl was his. He paid child support all the years despite believing she wasn’t his child. I said “you could get a DNA test”, he said he’d thought about it but no, she’s been his daughter since birth and he wouldn’t want to know if she’s not his. As far as he’s concerned, she is.

I know, but it was in the article, a different man. He said he “had to” cut the child off. I say “then you didn’t love her to begin with!!!!!”
