[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 608872, member: 1550"] I really don't have any great advice, but I'll try and I feel for you. Your son should get a legal paternity test as soon as the baby is born. Although you KNOW he is, the court doesn't and the girlfriend can lie. This test is very important in the eyes of the court! My son is going through a custody battle so I learned some things. If he is the father, the court will order visitation that neither girlfriend or her mother can control. This is when he will learn to change diapers etc. as nobody else will be there to do it. That is the only way and in my opinion the best way to assure he is a part of this child's life. They are very young and it is likely that they will not stay together forever. But he needs to legally establish rights to his child or she may someday run off several states away with the baby. As for not talking to you later, you can't predict the future. I am working hard on Dialectal Behavioral Therapy...learning to live in the moment. It is very hard for me, but I am working on it every day as I am also in crisis. I highly recommend looking up DBT Self-Help on the internet though. It teaches us how to survive difficulties with less distress. Keep us posted. Remember...we care. Welcome back. [/QUOTE]
