Well i am a mother so this may surprise you to hear this from me but i believe a man should have the right to opt out on being a father, because lets face it, if the guy isn't ready to be a father or is just plain not willing what kind of effect do you truly feel it will have on your child? i believe it is easier to explain to your child that his/ her father is not around because he is/was not ready to be a father. Trying to explain to your child why their father hates them and hits them and treats them bad and calls them names and abuses them would in the long wrong be a lot harder conversation to hold with a child and i would not want to have to put my child in that situation. Not to mention trying to force a guy to be a father and telling your child all about him and taking your child to see this person when this person truly does not want to be seen or talked to can also have a bad effect on a child. Children can sense and feel things much more in-depth than and adult, but the difference is adults at least sometimes understand what they are feeling where as a child may not. So if your the one wanting to keep your child remember it is your decision not his. Don't force a bad situation on your child that you are choosing to love and take care of. And as for the support issue, if your having a child for the support your obviously not ready for a child either. I realize the support does help immensely but sometimes it makes life easier and more enjoyable if there is no ties where none are wanted...
