[QUOTE="klmno, post: 468227, member: 3699"] Ok- hold on- I conceived my son over 15 yrs ago and there was no "this is the father, go blame him" aspect to it. His father never showed at the hospital and in the state we were in, that meant his father walked. Most men- sorry DDD- will take the stance "out of sight; out of mind". If the man really cares if the baby is his and that is going to make a difference in how the man deals with it, then a good man steps up to the plate, takes a test, and finds out- Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), PTSD, (insert whatever) or not. Yes, my son's father most definitely was told by me that he had conceived a child. Men in these situations typically choose to tell their families that they weren't aware and blame the female. Seriously- aren't parents of difficult children aware of this? I'm sorry you are having to deal with this but that doesn't relinquish his responsibility- to find out if it's biologically his child and to take care of it if it is. It doesn't matter if he has a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). He knew what he was doing. Sorry- but males aren't that dumb even if they are mentally challenged. I'd almost bet money that my difficult child's 'grandparents' on his father's side' have taken a stance that they stuck by their son thru his difficult child years, being in jail, and going thru 2 bad marriages, and they won't deal with "this problem"- especially if he doesn't want to talk about it- because that could make things awkward for all their family. Gee thanks- where does that leave my son? [/QUOTE]
