SUPPORTING A CHILD THAT IS NOT YOURS? Would You Do it

[scandicprincess]

ok, many times, we have kids but find it its somebody else's and one of the mates cheated. Now, the cheating affair is a reason to walk away from the relationship and leave the kids behind with a single parent. but really, would you support a child that you discovered is not yours biologically OR IS NOT FROM THE MAN YOU THOUGHT

[ThingsAreComplicated]

if you find out right after birth no. After raising it for a while quite obviously, it's your child...the emotional attachment is much stronger than genetics...

I'm a little confused about the question. Yes, I would support someone else's child if I entered into a relationship with her where she already had children. If I were in a relationship and we had no children and then she got knocked up cheating on me, screw that. That kind of betrayal cuts too deep. If everyone on Earth died and it was me her and the other guy's kid left, I'd relent.

If you feed it, it won't go away.
