He's a bad guy yet she picked him and made the decision to have sex with him. I don't believe the "she didn't know he was like that" idea. Everyone else except her could have easily detected it. She didn't want to see it because she was in lust with the jerk.

I'm sure she will go on some type of welfare to raise the bastard. I wish there were no handout programs for this situation. With no welfare marriage would return and women would choose quality men who would raise their children.

Not that I excuse the guy...far from it. If he doesn't pay child support he should be forced to have a vasectomy...if not be castrated..

Perhaps your brother should have honored his wife and kept his pecker in his pants.
Yes, what I described is a classic method to try to trap a man. Yes, the man should always wear a condom. That's what I said several times.

Yes, he should have honored his wife. But I don't mingle in their marriage so I wouldn't know the reasons. They're getting a divorce so it doesn't matter anymore.

Yes, I think my nephews would like to know they have a brother taking into account they all get along very well.

I keep saying to him that he should contact the boy. If he doesn't want anything to with him after that, then it's his right but at least he tried.
Well then, if it's weighing on his conscience and he's already in his 60's, I would strongly advise you to keep talking to him about it. Don't let him get any closer to death without having dealt with this or he and you could regret it even more than you can imagine later.

Tell him it's never too late to say "I'm sorry".

Your brother is only imagining the worst case scenario - total anger and rejection from this kid.

Suppose the actual reality were the opposite?

Suppose the kid has been hoping his Dad would actually care enough to show up one of these days!

Even if the worst were what happened and he rejected your brother - your brother would have at least said he was sorry. This could be very important to his son later in his life as he grows up and becomes a man himself.

Tell your brother not to deny himself, this son and all his other children the opportunity to at least know the truth and deal with it head on.

Tell him that the absence of any effort on his part to reach out to this child is wrong or his conscience wouldn't be bothering him so much.

I can get on board with that. Any family that has to be on welfare to raise the children should have both adults subjected to mandatory BC. Of course, that would be considered fascism.

It's really not a classic method. It's actually quite rare.

Too bad he didn't follow in your footsteps.

He followed a path, I followed another. I'm glad he went a different route, otherwise I wouldn't have my nephews.

Well, hopefully they won't end up like their father. Unfortunately, the apple doesn't usually fall to far from the tree.

That's exactly what I keep saying to him. He needs to sort out this issue but you can't blame him for being prepared for the worst. I know what I would say to my father if he only showed up after 17 years (there would be a lot of @=!#$"&). He doesn't even know how the boy looks like, he only knows his name.
