I Have a Son

He's 21 years old. I met his dad when I was 16. We hung out for a week while I was on vacation and I never saw him again. Months down the road i found out I was pregnant. I couldn't tell him cuz I didn't know his last name. It was a weird last name and hard to pronounce so I didn't put it to memory. It was very difficult when people would ask about his dad and it was hard for my son always wondering who he is. We found his dad today! I told my son to be prepared if he decides to reject him but he didn't and said he can't wait to get to know him and have a relationship with him.

@Vivaci now my son doesnt have to have an empty space on his birth certificate and you have no idea how hard it was to find a baby book that I could modify so it left out info about the dad. Then there were be the times someone official would look at the birth certificate and say over and over really loud "you mean you don't know who the father is?! Let me get this straight, (then they get louder) you don't know who the father is?"
Sometimes they kept going. Everyone would stare and I swear I was shrinking getting shorter.

@morrgin I know that stigma.....I mean I can only imagine how unbearably painful it must have been for you and your son over these past 17 years to answer to such questions...and inquisitive people just dont stop asking...and repeating the same story again and again must have been so mentally exhausting to you, isn't it? 🥺🤗

Well, think of it as one long nightmare....
