An advice columnist tells a father it's completely fine to abandon his inconvenient child. If the mother had been a better mother, maybe he wouldn't have to. It's all her fault.
Your advice is 🔥🔥🔥 but I am conflicted whether it is actually beneficial for the child to endure his half-hearted attempt at connection.
I think it might be better to know clearly that your father is a turd, who thinks you’re a mere inconvenience, than be misled into thinking that your father is a super hero dad who has suffered a great tragedy by not knowing he had produced offspring and who will now redeem himself at the kid’s expense.

And I would tell this dude to cough up 18 years in child support payment whether he stays in the kids life or not.
