This isn’t about me…I’m still happily married. But a close friend of mine just went through a rough divorce after only 5 years of marriage. Long story short, he was having an affair and now he wanted to be with the other woman. She has a one year old son and her ex-husband is now moving in with this “new girl”. He doesn’t really want much to do with either her or their son anymore…scumbag. He’s also convinced that the baby isn’t really his just because he doesn’t have the dark hair that “every man in his family has”…so therefore, according to him, he can’t possibly be his son. My friend is a blonde, so is her son. She’s completely at a loss for what to do and how to deal and I’m at a loss for how to help. I gladly lend a shoulder for her to cry on, but I feel a little helpless.

Go to court and be sure she is getting child support, no matter what the scumbag says. His name is on the birth certificate so he has to help pay for his son’s expenses whether he thinks its his or not. She will need the money to help raise her son. Push her into doing this for her own good and for the sake of her son.

no matter what, child comes first, always. there are lots of men who would be with her still despite the fact that she has a child with someone else, if she’s ready to find that guy, eharmony! if not, then there are way worse things that can happen in ones life, i know you are her friend and trying to help, but the most you can do is give her friendship and company.
