Never Married to childs mother

(Clovis, Ca)
I was in a relationship with a woman we had a son, we were never married. There quite possibly as much as it kills me to think that the child might not be mine due to her unfaithfulness throughout our relationship. It was a terrible situation and as a result the child took residence with his grandparents. Since then I have married and have to children with my wife. We only live two hours from my previous child and have made every attempt to spend time and/or arrange visit with my son and every attempt has been denied. I lost my job earlier this year forcing us to move in with family. I have paying well over half of my unemployment income for a child i never see, and would love to spend time with. The mother is in and out doing and living her own life while my son is left to fend for himself with alcoholic chain-smoking elderly. He was also recently as of this last month placed on night duty for his dieing grandfather while the grandmother slept. His whole world was turned upside down when his grandfather went into coma in home and was not taken to the hospital but left to die three days later. I am highly concerned for my sons health, well being, mental stability, and innocence. He has been subject to far more then any child should bare witness to. I feel helpless in my attempts to form a bond with my son due to their feelings about me and my family and not the well being of the child that needs a stable family with a safe healthy home and church.
