Didn’t happen to me, but I had this friend who got someone pregnant back in the day and she kept the kid, they’ve both been great about it, he helps financially but that was the extent of his contribution. She married soon out of highschool and met a great guy who has been the de facto dad.
Either way, it’s a day where you “bring your kids if you have them” event and someone let slip that my friend is that kids “real”dad. And the kid herd it and it was a f@#king s@#t show. Everyone was trying to figure out who said that, and how could someone spill that secret, etc.
In the end my friend pretended he was shocked, and laughed it off as a joke, which honestly i front of the kid was probably a good move.
