I was awake half the night going through my dilemma and still not reached an answer. I am separated from my dd dad. She is 14 and we split up 10 years ago. I have never known 100% if he is her father, but have not told anyone my suspicions. What has brought things to a head is that her Dad has found out he has got a really serious genetic condition, which if he is her father she could have too. She can't be tested for it until she is 18, but he told her she may have it. It is vary rare, so if he is not her father she won't have it. I feel I want to have a paternity test done, but if she is his she is at risk of serious illness and if she is not his she would be devastated to find out. What would you do?
