How would it affect you as a mother?
I'm asking, because of the recent experience of a (male) cousin - just having been informed by his ex that he is not the biological father of his daughter.- confirmed by DNA
He is now expected to turn his back and walk away from the child he has thought was is own for 8 years.
He isn't going to do that, and is still fighting for joint custody.
I know it is so much more unlikely for a mother to be told that, but not completely impossible, particularly with the wrong egg/fertility treatment scenario
But I've always thought it would be upsetting, of course, and leave a lot of questions that needed answering, but would not fundamentally change anything in our relationship.
I would not love my child any less, they would still be the child I had loved and raised for years.
Surely most women would feel that, so why is the expectation different for men?
YANBU- finding out I am not the biological parent of my child would not change my love for them
