Should I tell my baby's parental family about him

Long story short I had a 3some with someone I was seein for a few years and his friend. There's a lot behind that story but I won't go into it. Anyway I prayed he was going to be the guys I was seein. 18 months later a dna has shown he's not. Apparently he's told his friend and he said he wants nothing to do with him. I would prefer to have the conversation with him directly and not through my ex as he is a compulsive liar. But that said I can imagine his friend would say that. My question is should I tell his family? I don't have any phone numbers for him, but I do know his sister's name on Facebook. He won't want me to tell them. And I don't want to stir any unnessary drama or feel like I'm begging something when he's said he wants nothing to do with the baby. Would I look stupid and desperate to do this? I don't feel like i have any right as I don't know them. We weren't together. And I'm pretty sure he's on And off with his other kids mum. And it's his family not mine. I don't want to look like some desperate stalker. But I would like my son to have as much family as possible. If they wanted to obviously. Do you think his family would want to know as they would be his grandparents and aunty. Or am I just best leaving it? Thanks

Would they even believe you?

Wind up.

I have a positive dna. Also when he was newborn. When we thought he was my exs. His friends mum apparently saw a pic of him and commented he looks like her son's other kids. She didn't know anything about me or her son at the time So I think it was just a passing comment at the time. So I don't think being believed would be the issue

So presumably it would come out that your son was conceived as a result of a threesome....

how have you got a positive dna?

laurajayne3 · 21/10/2017 00:15

I dont know. Maybe. I don't know what's been said between them all. If they know or if they think me and his friend just had a one night stand. There's alot about that night that I don't want to go into. And it was over 2 years ago when my ex was very controlling. But regardless of how he was conceived shouldn't mean anything as he's an innocent little boy

I got a dna as my ex said he doesn't think he's is as he looks like his friends other kids. So I told them to do one

So this has all come out recently and the child is now 2?
Is it possible he’s only saying he wants nothing to do with your son as he’s a bit shocked?
If it were me I probably would tell his mum, but I’d give him the opportunity to tell her first.
But be very careful how you word it and be prepared that he may tell them all you’re desperate/want money etc...

laurajayne3 · 21/10/2017 00:53

Wetwashing00 - yes recently. My son's 18 months now. I kind of buried my head for a long time as I wanted to believe he was my exs as I didn't want to sleep with his friend never mind have a baby with him. But that's all in the past. He could be shocked I suppose. But I can also imagine him to have the mind set of he's rather forget about the whole situation as it's easy to walk away. I just feel very awkward about the whole situation.

How do you have a positive DNA?

laurajayne3 · 21/10/2017 01:15

I probably wasn't clear in the original post. They both did a home peace of mind dna and I sent it off
