Dealing with your spouse not only having an affair but a child as a result and how it affects your day to day life and the lives of your children.
As far as the paternity test go I can only answer for here in Ohio. My H's OW was also married at the time and she refused to take the pat test in the hospital. That meant my H had to take her to court to mandate a paternity test. The child is assumed the OW's husband's child until proven otherwise. He (the spouse)will also have to have a paternity test done. We were lucky and did not have to get a lawyer or pay upfront. Becase the OW was on welfare, my H simply went to child support the day after the baby was born and they petioned the court on his behalf. IT took about 2 1/2 months to finally get the results. You can do a home test per say, but if it is his child the courts may someday make them do it again. It seems like the OW in your case wants to have the test done not only professionally, but most likely legally for your state. Is she and her husband still together?
The other spouse in my case wanted to raise this child as his own to keep his family unit together, but the OW divorced him anyway. He and I keep in touch occaisionaly.
I'd like to hope your baby drama ends soon, but it looks like even if this child is not your H's....you still have your hands full with this Ex-wife. On a good note you mentioned their daughter is already 12, so maybe you only have 6 years to go. Hopefully your stepdaughter wil start thinking for herself once she turns 18 if not sooner.
your stepdaughter has a mind of her own and someday if not today, she will resent her mother and her father for how they have treated you.
It is good for us to get every thing out. Holding on to all this pain and anger will make s sick. I love having a safe place to come and scream, cry, swear, and none of my sistahs here think I am "bitter" or "over reacting" or "negative" or "need to get over it". I love you guys. Dang, I wish we could have a freakin' vacation/ convention. That would be great. When I win the lottery, I'm flying ya'll ass roundtrip free to a tropical destination! Promise. Adios.
keep in mind I have to do this from his account
)Mandi,
Due to some nonstop nagging from you new friend, I think it is time you, david amy and I all sit down and figure out a plan to how this is all goning to work if the child is infact mine. Also if you are 100% sure this is my baby amy and I would like to be there to welcome hin/she into the world. Let me know if this weekend works for you guy for us to all talk. Oh, and Mandi, Amy and I really do hope your pregnancy has gone well so far. let me know.)
So I figure if her H doesn't know that baby may not be his this should put a end to all of the harrassment, and will also force her to admit that she really doesn't know who the daddy is. She is due in 10 days and you know what I really can't wait.
Amethyst-i feel your pain and i can not imagine how you must feel having to wait on another D-DAY! you have to do whatever is best for you and whatever feels right for you. my husband wanted me to sit down with his whore and come up with a way to get along for the childs sake. i refused because all i could envision was slapping the shit out of her over the table. i have a son who needs me and i don't want to go to jail. i know that she would have said the wrong thing to me or come off cocky and i would have had to stomp a mudhole in her ass, so the meeting was out of the question. plus i was not gonna let him bully me into sitting and talking to her to do what is right for their child. FUCK their child what about OUR child. don't get me wrong i hate them for what they have done to this child but i can not fix things for her i have to ensure that my son is not screwed up over all of this crap. do what is best for you and put everyone else and their needs last.
