Try to imagine, you as a Father/Male-Parent: you raise a Child as your own. You care for them, love them, protect them, etc. But, then you discover that they’re not your Biological-Child & you were essentially deceived into thinking/believing that the Person you established a Father/Parent-Child Bond with was literally predicated upon a Lie. This-Scenario which I’ve detailed is a Reality for Men all across the Planet & it’s been a Reality for a Long-Time via Human-History. According to the AABB: 30% of Men are being expected/held accountable to be responsible for Children they’ve never reproduced. That’s a Serious-Problem. The Question though is how/why is this such a Commonplace-Occurance via our World, particularly/especially via the Modern-World.
As a Chaplain (Counselor/Therapist): I’ve counseled Men who’ve struggled with Paternity-Challenges such as what’s been aforementioned. As a Friend: I’ve personally witnessed Men I know publicly tell their Stories of being led to believe that the Children they raised were theirs, only to find-out Years later that they actually weren’t. There’s Confirmed-Reports of Women getting pregnant & purposely fleeing the Men whom got them pregnant & literally never told them that they’re Fathers. And, then sleep with Other-Men & lie to those Other-Men, having them think/feel that they’re the Fathers of the Children of Other-Men.

These Types/Kinds of Scenarios are truly heartbreaking & incredibly damaging to Individuals, Families, Communities, Societies, etc. However, pitifully, there’s People whom really care not about how this can utterly ruin the Lives of Others. Not everyone can easily walk away and/or recover from this. There’s actually been Cases of Men who’ve been deceived like this & have acquired Depression, contemplated/attempted Suicided, committed Suicide, have committed Murder against the Mothers of the Children whom deceived them, committed Murder against even the Children whom they thought were theirs but were not, etc. That’s really dangerous…it’s a Deadly-Game which Countless-Persons apathetically play without any Consequence.
