Dear Janice: 'My ex thinks he is my daughter's dad …. but he’s not’
Ask Janice - 'My ex thinks he is my daughter's dad …. but he’s not’
My ex is demanding to see my 10-year-old daughter, but he isn’t her dad.
He assumed he was when I got pregnant and I went along with it to make life easier all round.
We split a few months ago and he wants to have regular contact with her, but I want to move on with my daughter without him.
This lie has gone on long enough.
Your totally selfish decision was wrong on every level.
Deceit for your own gain is bad enough, but to let a man be a dad to a child for 10 years and then withdraw his parenthood completely is cruel.
Your ex is the only dad your daughter knows and loves, so how will she adjust to suddenly losing this huge part of her........
