The "real" father wants no part of her life. He doesnt talk to or see her, and he's in hiding to avoid child support. I'm only 19 and hes is several years older than me. Why isn't he in her life? I was willing to step up to the plate and be a man, raising a kid by a woman I truly resented. I put up with her pregnant rants and raves. So immature, it drives me nuts.

With some men it doesn't matter how old they really are they refuse to grow up. I'm facing the same thing with my ex. Honistly, if he's going to act like that then he's not good enough to be her father anyway. She'll understand that one day all by herself.
