I assure you that will change now, I'll contact the boy's mother even though I don't think she's going to react well.

If I were you I'd go through a lawyer (you mentioned this earlier). That is your best bet. You have no idea what kind legal/financial issues you are going to invite into your life by doing this, so best to be prepared.

Thank you. Do you think the boy and his mother could forgive me one day? I have no idea what she might have told him. At age 5 I'm sure he has asked about his father sometime.

I would be angry at having wasted 4 years on a deadbeat.

Yes, I would be furious and devastated learning that my boyfriend was such an irresponsible, selfish person who abandoned a woman, who he impregnated, at her most emotionally vulnerable state, and neglected his child for five years.

I'd wonder what kind of man this was and whether he'd abandon me, too. I would probably end the relationship if he didn't show any intention to show concern for the lives of the mother of his child and especially the child himself. A deadbeat is a deal breaker and a big red flag for "irresponsible" and "self-centered".

Yeah, you should try to fix it and have your finances ready.

We had very good times and what I feel for her is truthful and genuine.

I apologise for coming across as selfish, it wasn't my intention to hurt them. I just didn't want that kind of responsability at the time.

Fortunately money was never the problem. I didn't want the commitment or the time you have to spend taking care of a child.

Okay so acknowledging that and putting your selfishness back then aside, what do you think the mother of your first-born son, and him of course, are owed for five years of neglect, Ricky?

Talking about time and commitment, you made the time to have sex and ejaculate into a woman's womb and conceive a human being, though. I'm pretty sure she didn't want to be a single mom while you were out surfing the seas of women and having a blast skeeting all over them too. But she dedicated herself to facing her and your responsibilities alone. What do you want to do? Call her and say I'm sorry and expect that to be it as long as your girlfriend doesn't dump you? You had five years and you still don't want to do anything. What are you going to do?

Do you mean financially? No idea, I would have to speak to her and a lawyer.

That's not even comparable. You always make time if youre having fun. I know she didn't want to have an unplanned child, that's why I don't understand why didn't she simply had an abortion.

Of course I want to do something, that's why I'm here.
