You keep making my point for me.

But if you find out the bio father is in jail and if you withdraw support, that your, say, 10 year old will eating out of soup cans... then one would hope you would not want the child you loved and raised starving.
That's his problem and he's paying for a child that he not only admitted to fathering, but has a lot of money to offer. I'm talking about cuckolds. If the bio father is in jail so be it. She slept with him, now she should deal with it. Why is the woman let off the hook? Why is only one victim given sympathy, but the other has to pay? Why?

She felt so little about the man she slept with another one and had HIS baby. The cuckold wasn't worthy enough to have it. In other words a loser who's only there to pay for the mom being a cheater.
Or she was raped, or she had a drunken one night stand and was scared to confess, or she was seeing two people, picked her husband then later found out she was pregnant... or she's a horrible person... none of it is the child's fault. But like I said, abandon a child if it makes you feel better. Just be honest about it.

Never once did I say I had no sympathy for the father. I said repeatedly he should leave the mom if he wants. He has a right to be angry. I am against abandoning kids out of a need to get revenge on the mother.

You do not have to like the mother in order to not exit a child's life.

If she was raped then the courts should throw the book at the rapist and punish the rapist as hard as possible. Anything else is her fault. Why is she getting so drunk and partying? Doesn't she know her alcohol tolerance and if she doesn't she isn't a responsible drinker and once again it's her fault. If you're getting drunk somewhere and somehow get married before you start showing what does that say about you? I mentioned it in an old comment in a locked thread why is it that when men have an issue, rape is always brought up? I already said I'd leave if it wasn't mine and no amount of shaming will change my mind. A number of men said they'd leave in this forum.

By the way, what did you never say?
Yes, she is his child. Even looks like him.

I never said that he wasn't my real father to my step-father. That was mostly out of fear though.

There are no excuses for how my parents let me be treated like that, but I often wonder if that can be expected for mere biological reasons...
Parents always have favourites, there's no way around it. A step-child or an adoptive child is always the lesser child.

You're the one arguing with me, asking me to respond to your questions in order to defend my point of view. And when I do, I'm "shaming" you?

Dude. Just stop.

Again, if you want to leave in that circumstance then do it. The only thing I was commenting on was this idea that doing so was best for the child. I disagree. I think responsible adults put their hurt feelings aside and put the kids they love ahead of revenge/pride/ego. You see it differently. Yay you. End of story.

So once again the biological kids are treated better than the step child. It happened to you and it happened to me. Btw I asked if the half sibling was the biologically child of the abusive father.

Yes, my half sibling is the biological child of my abusive step-father.

With that said, a few of my cousins were adopted and all of them love their parents and appear to part of a happy family.
