Time Stolen
by Brandon
I was with my ex for 7 1/2 months before she told me that the baby wasn't mine, so we broke up and went our separate ways. 3 months later I get a call from her saying that her boyfriend left her and that she wanted child support from "ME". Crazy! I told her to leave me alone and had my phone number changed to avoid getting harassed by her and her family. Well, she waited almost 8 months before the childs 2nd birthday and has the DHS come after me. I volunteered to a paternity test and about 2 months later found out that I was the father of her little boy. OKAY! I tried making peace with her and even suggested that I would send money here and there to help out. I was unemployed so I could only send what I could come up with. We made arrangments for me to see him for the first time and I drove 4 1/2 hours to spend the day with him. Everything was going great until she found out that I was engaged to another woman and that I wasn't going to get back with her! She waited until I left, then called and told me that I wasn't going to get to talk to or see my son until I started paying $400 to $500 dollars a month to catch up on back child support. Now, I find that very unfair, seeing as I JUST FOUND OUT that he was my son. I feel I'm getting punished just because I didn't want to go back to having a relationship with her! I'm completely happy where I am, but I want my son in my life as well. I have full custody of my 6 year old son and he wants his little brother around. Its not fair to either one of us!
