Thank you. I know what you mean, I have concern for the child as well. But I agree, it would be hard growing up with that kind of rejection and bitterness from a man who was forced to support you.

My mom got next to no help from my dad. When he did pay support, he let me know he had to. I actually heard about it well into my adulthood. I know how that made me feel. I can only imagine how it would have felt had he not been my father.

Knowing he was my dad was the only reason I knew I had a right to be mad at him for being upset that he had to pay it.
