Forced fatherhood and family drama 😟👨👧👦
What happens when you become a dad against your will and are forced to take on responsibilities you never wanted? One man shares his story of how he ended up being a father at 19 and how his ex-girlfriend's recent actions have brought unwanted family drama into his life. Despite agreeing to just pay child support and not be involved in the child's life, his ex-girlfriend recently told his parents about the child, who are now taking care of her. However, things took a turn for the worse when the man was left to babysit the child and she kept coming into his room, causing him to finally lose his patience and tell her to stay in her room. Now his parents are angry and calling him a horrible father, but he never wanted to be a dad in the first place. Read on to see what others think about his situation and whether he's in the wrong or not.
