He’s Not Paying For His Son To Go To College, And His Sister Is Accusing Him Of Abandoning His Own Kid
Back when a 39-year-old man was 20-years-old, he and his ex got pregnant. He was not interested in having the baby, but she was committed.
So, his ex did follow through with having a baby, and she gave birth to a little boy. Not long after his son was born, he and his ex split up, and he only was in his son’s life for the next 5 years.
He really did not want to be a dad, and his ex let him off the hook, so he stopped being involved in his son’s life.
“It was probably a bad thing, but at the time, it made me happy,” he explained. “She was dating someone, and they got married.”
“He was my son’s father, and as soon as they got married, he wanted to file to be his father. I 100% agreed, and since that day haven’t heard anything about my son.”
“I’ve since been married, and my wife knows everything. I have 2 children (11M & 7F), and I do well for myself. Last week my ex called me and explained that her son would be beginning university soon. Unfortunately, they don’t have the funds to pay for the university and asked if I could pay.”
He did stop to consider his ex’s request for a moment, and he then declined to pay for his son to go to college.
His reason as to why he doesn’t want to fund his son’s college education isn’t complicated at all, though; it all boils down to him not having seen his son in forever.
He was only in his son’s life for 5 years, and his son is literally a stranger to him. He doesn’t know his son, and he doesn’t feel that it’s his obligation to pay for him to go to college.

He believes that his ex and her husband should have thought about putting money aside for this, and his son should have gotten a job too in order to help pay for everything.
He then stated that his son can take out loans to go to college since his ex and her husband can’t afford to send him.
“Well, my sister found out, and she’s really upset,” he said. “She thinks I’m abandoning my son. Even though throughout this post I’m calling him my son, I really feel nothing for him, just like any stranger.”
“She tried to drag my parents into this mess, and surprisingly they supported me and told them I am not his father and need nothing to do. Obviously, my wife also supports my decision.”
“The thing is, my sister lives with me (she’s in between jobs) and is making my life insufferable. What do I do?”
