Basically a man finds out after 21 years he couldn’t of possibly fathered his three boys he knew as sons due to being diagnosed with cystic fibrosis. Then sued his Ex wife for the CSA and walked away with 250k. He had paid her 4 million and maintenance following their divorce. Two of the boys no longer talk to him 1 saying if you sue mum I won’t talk to you again.

I get the anger and hurt caused by this however the value of the boys he placed at 250k. What will the money bring back I feel nothing. A real sad story and upsetting for all involved. Although, I do think the wife is a bit of a cunt.

Where have I been a hypocrite? I've been clear I think both "parents" in this situation have behaved appallingly - as have many others.

Interesting that he is being judged more than his wife is here. Life isn't a story book, who's to say he wasn't floored by the ongoing deceipt? He may not want a close relationship with the boys. Maybe their father is on the scene somewhere.

& yes maybe he felt vengeful towards his wife after being made an absolute mug of for years - So what? Why should she gain via getting maintenance for 3 children that aren't his? I bet she knows who the father is - get him to fork out, it's his job.

Who is anyone to judge another's level of hurt and what they "should" do, when you're not the one in the situation?

He isn't going to feel great about his discovered illness either. & there are some really silly comments about CF on this thread.

Of course he is, this is mumsnet and he's got an entitled penis.
