This 22-year-old man hooked up with a girl once.
“Earlier this year, she texted me and told me she has a 1-year-old Daughter, and I might be the father. I didn’t want to believe her, but we took a paternity test, and it turned out I really am the father,” he said.
The woman hadn’t told him anything about her pregnancy or having the child. Since she didn’t let him know about the situation until the child was a year old, he didn’t want to be in his daughter’s life at all.
He was willing to pay child support, but he felt like the woman hadn’t allowed him to form a bond with his daughter for the first year of her life, and he didn’t feel like that was fair.
“Well, my mother LOVES children and immediately got in contact with the mother and met the child. They’ve been very close and meeting regularly. I have no problem with that AT ALL. I just don’t want to meet her myself,” he explained.
Unfortunately, his mother recently broke her foot and needed someone to help her around the house. For the time being, he was staying at his mother’s house so that he could take care of her cats, make her meals, and do her chores while she recovered.
Several days ago, on a Saturday, he’d hung out with one of his friends to just talk and relax, and got back to his mother’s house pretty late that night. He slept in until past 1 p.m., and suddenly, he was awoken by voices in his mother’s bedroom.
“Mind you, she doesn’t have a door, and I’m sleeping in the living room, also without a door. So, I listened to the voices, and it really was the mother and my child. I didn’t want to meet them, see them, hear them, or whatever. I was so mad that my mom would do this to me without waking me up so I could leave,” he shared.
In frustration, he left his mother’s house to avoid interacting with the woman he’d hooked up with and their daughter. Afterward, both his mother and grandmother texted him, and they were both furious with what he’d done.

They called him a “horrible son,” and his grandmother said some harsh things regarding how she thought he was just like his father, and apparently, she hurled these comments at him as insults.
While growing up, his father was present but not a healthy person to be around.
Upon reflection, he doesn’t feel like he did anything wrong because, at the time, he wasn’t ready to see the woman he’d hooked up with and his daughter.
Because of the shock of learning he was a father, he wanted time to adjust to the idea and work up the courage to finally meet his daughter. He feels like he missed out on the pregnancy and birth, so it’s a tough adjustment for him.
In the end, he decided that he does want to meet his daughter and feels emotionally ready to finally do so.
Do you think he was wrong to leave his mother’s house when his daughter and the mother showed up?
