that has to be tough bc you would need to welcome this child into your home, be a step-mom, not be bitter towards the child (as silly as it sounds, even the best people unknowingly take the resentment out on the child) - my sister went through a similiar situation, she was dating a man for 5 years, they had 2 kids together, broke up for about 4 months, got back together and got married - then a woman gets in touch with her dh letting him know she gave birth to a child that could be his - he took a dna test and it was - my sister actually separated from dh for 5 months soon after bc she just couldnt handle the new child [ Reply | More
